If the foundation be faulty, then the building erected upon it cannot be sound; and if we err...

With the 2020 U.S. presidential election looming, the emerging contest doesn't seem so much a battle of ideas as it does a war of two tribes bent on the other's destruction. The Far Left and Far Right aren't much interested in a conversation, and they've dropped any pretense of it. But in fact, according to a recent study, two-thirds of the country are part of an 'exhausted majority,' who 'share a sense of fatigue with our polarized national conversation,...

Two months before the 2016 presidential election, an anonymously published essay titled "The Flight 93 Election" rallied conservatives to "charge the cockpit" by voting for Trump. Michael Anton, the author of that controversial viral essay, now says that the last few years have only served to prove his "Flight 93" thesis: the left has become more aggressive, more vindictive, and more dangerous-and the stakes have never been higher.
