    Get used to the heat and get in the kitchen

    You’ve heard the saying, “If you don’t like the heat, then get out of the kitchen.” Well, that only works if you’re not called to be in the kitchen. For those of us who are called to be there, it would be better to say, “Get used to the heat and get in the kitchen.”

    Why was Jon Gruden cancelled but Jeffrey Toobin was not?

    Again, I believe in forgiveness. And redemption. And mercy. And restoration. And second chances. I am simply appealing for a level playing field and for the end of the cancelling madness.

    What many of us white Americans still don't understand

    The reality, of course, is that LGBTQ characters abound on TV and in the movies. And if you identify as LGBTQ and want to see someone like yourself on the screen, you can readily do it, right up to being a gay or bi or trans superhero.

    Please don’t clown around when it comes to abortion

    What on earth was Saturday Night Live thinking when it featured comedian Cecily Strong dressed up as pro-abortion advocate “Goober the Clown”? The skit was not only done in very poor taste (no surprise for SNL), but it was downright offensive, not to mention idiotic.

    Some crucial questions for proponents and opponents of CRT

    But when I asked him if classes were being taught through the lens of CRT or if teachers were being informed by CRT, he said that was a very different question. Yet that was the very thing I meant when I referred to CRT being taught in our schools.

  • The obvious lessons from the Virginia elections

    The obvious lessons from the Virginia elections

    Put another way, it was one thing to vote Democrat to get rid of Trump in 2020. Now that Trump is out, it’s another thing entirely to vote Democrat again.

    No, Juan Williams, ‘parents’ rights’ isn't code for white race politics
