Such people do that kind of thing, but I think we should stick to the topic here. Because the opposition has made it so, not Trump. Every political analysist understands that the only hope of Biden in the 2024 election is to demonize Trump while avoiding all the issues since almost nothing in...

So you think that it took some orator to make 3/4 of the public (according to current polling) believe that inflation, an unchecked invasion of our country, and a dismantling of all of our institutions... is alarming to Americans, but instead that it has all simply been engineered by one...

When did the media, and then people in general, start using the word "populism" to mean something sinister rather what it actually means, do you think? ____________________________________________________ populism /pŏp′yə-lĭz″əm/ noun A political philosophy supporting the rights and power of...

But Reagan was not subjected to anything like that which has been thrown at Trump. Reagan's name was mispronounced. He was called a second-rate actor. And his policies were described as wrongheaded, etc. Somewhere back in the Nixon era is probably where the politics of personal destruction...

Okay. That's one way of looking at it, but you wondered why Evangelicals would support Trump who as president made religion something not to be afraid of mentioning in public and took a strong stand against all the attempts of recent days aimed at undermining freedom of religious expression. To...

Probably not, but the better question is whether or not there is going to be any meeting (and preferably not just online; that's only good as a prelude to an actual meet-up) before the connection/relationship is thought of as going anywhere.

It's not that hard to appreciate. They know full well that some of his comments are embarrassing and some of his doings in private life--mainly long before he became a political figure--are cringeworthy. BUT he's running for president, not pastor. It's what his administrative policies have been...

But maybe you can appreciate why it is that people doubt such a claim about someone being a Conservative who favors lowering taxes, preserving freedom of religion, and etc. when the way the candidate who's most likely to win the presidency and do all those things is rejected simply because he...

Should the taxpayers also pay for optional breast enlargements, eye shadow tattoos, and hair plugs? Does it help if we give each one of these procedures some newly-coined and nice-sounding terminology? No.

Hard to say, but the way things seem to be going, this is likely to be a banner year for independent candidacies. There's Joe Manchin or one of several other people rumored to be seeking the "No Labels" Party nomination; Jill Stein has come back from her run on the Green Party ticket in 2016...

Of course you're right about that. No one is suggesting a change of church membership. I've attended both Greek and Russian divine liturgies, and although the members of each parish in my town don't speak to each other (!), the people that were in attendance when I was visiting were quite...

Is it? That's the way zoning laws work. And zoning laws are not perfect, but they are the law. If it were not so, every business or other facility could simply provide the services that are allowed in a different zone. Private residences in residential neighborhoods could turn their garages into...

You're right that the people standing behind him in that photo appear to be similarly shiny, and perhaps even somewhat tinted, although I'm not sure about that last part. The text states that the pic was taken during a rally. He surely doesn't wear such make-up, if that's what it is, on other...

We don't really know if it does or does not. However, the school board probably thinks that the rules have to be applied consistently or else it will be accused of playing favorites, etc. This fellow does have long hair, even though we might say, offhand, that it's in compliance. But the rules...

He probably thinks he looks better with a tan, as also with hair that has some color. Given the condition of the leader of the other party, it shouldn't be surprising that the Democrats (and Haley) are doing their best to question Trump's physical status from several different angles. For...

I wouldn't call contending for the nomination for president, in either party, a mania. It's hard work and it gets harder when some of the other challengers start denouncing you in a personal way. But that aside, it appears that there are several reasons why people are so supportive of Trump...

Well, sure. There are indeed people of every conceivable profile during almost every election campaign, but the 'Never Trump' Republicans are already in Haley's camp since they have no other candidate left, and I seriously doubt that very many Trump delegates to the national convention would go...

We don't know, but because God created Eve in response to something that was missing in Adam's life, it suggests that this took place fairly soon after the creation of Adam. “And the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.'” (Gen. 2:18)

I don't disagree with that, but the issue I was responding to concerned the likelihood that a candidate who had never won any primaries would have much leverage in the case of the events you have in mind. That's not nearly as likely as that the convention would turn to some compromise candidate...

Well now, she only got about 1/4 of the votes cast by Republicans. And the primary, after all, is about who gets the Republican Party nomination. Those Democrats who voted for Haley were free to do so only because there was no contest on the Democratic Party side. If it were speaking ability...
