Restoring Accountability: A Pauline Diagnosis for America

If the Apostle Paul were alive today — which, theologically speaking, he most certainly is, just not in Washington, D.C. — he would probably take one long look at our national headlines, sigh deeply, and begin writing another epistle. Not to the Corinthians this time, nor the Galatians, nor the Thessalonians, but perhaps “Paul, an…

America’s Institutions Are Sewing Fig Leaves

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). With that majestic sentence, Scripture establishes a pattern that has echoed through human history: God brings order out of chaos, purpose out of emptiness, beauty out of the void. In six days, He shapes the cosmos with deliberate precision. Light obeys Him. Oceans…

Washington Needs Less Drama and More Decency

If you’ve glanced at the headlines lately, you may have noticed that Washington is starting to look less like the capital of the world’s greatest republic and more like a crossover episode of CSI, Survivor, and The Office. We’ve got Congress hauling in Jack Smith for a closed-door testimony that he wanted to give in…

Integrity Isn’t Optional

If the past few weeks in American public life have taught us anything, it’s this: accountability is a universal need, not a partisan accessory. Whether you’re a tech titan, a big-city mayor, a former FBI director, or a Republican getting a little too comfortable in your seat, the same basic truth applies: character matters. And…

Truth, Justice, and the Fine Art of Not Looking the Other Way

Washington suddenly seems to be rediscovering the concepts of truth, justice, and responsibility. And honestly? It’s about time. For a town that couldn’t find its own moral compass with a GPS, a map, and three tour guides, we’ll take the progress where we can get it. President Trump’s administration has been busy trying to broker…

A World Hungry for Justice, Clarity, and a Little Common Sense

If you look across yesterday’s headlines — from Chile’s political shake-ups to U.S. debates over Epstein files, from Bangladesh’s explosive verdict to America’s military reboot and the messy Comey prosecution — you start noticing a theme: people everywhere are tired of chaos, tired of double-talk, and very, very tired of leaders who think accountability is…

The Grijalva Mess Is a Bad Look for Washington

The State of Arizona has done something extraordinary, and not in a good way. It has sued the United States House of Representatives. The reason? Because the House, under Speaker Mike Johnson, still hasn’t sworn in Adelita Grijalva, the Democrat who won September’s special election to fill the late Raúl Grijalva’s seat. Her election is…

John Bolton’s Indictment: Justice Without a Team Jersey

So, John Bolton has now joined the “Indicted Former Officials Club.” The federal government dropped an 18-count indictment on him this week for allegedly mishandling classified documents. That’s eight counts of allegedly sharing defense secrets and ten counts of holding onto them like they were baseball cards. Now before anyone starts yelling “witch hunt” or…

The Comey Indictment: Accountability or Political Score-Settling?

Yesterday, the news cycle practically tripped over itself when word broke that a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, had indicted James Comey on two criminal counts: making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. The charges trace back to September 2020, when Comey sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee and fielded questions…
