Chris Pratt inspires with God-talk on Stephen Colbert show
Without a doubt, Hollywood's Chris Pratt is an anomaly. He's not only a Christian in Hollywood. He's an open Christian in an anti-Christian Hollywood crowd -- and just recently, he took that Christian message to Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show," of all places.

Blackface, 'dark makeup' and Dems -- and the confusing politics of hate
All eyes may be on Virginia and its gubernatorial blackface scandal right now -- but really, the juicier story is watching members of the media duck and dodge for the Democrats caught between a rock and a racist place. It's getting confusing to keep track of when blackface is racist, when it's not and just whom we're supposed to hate.
Time to restore marriage rights to priests
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, SNAP, is holding a summit this week to press Pope Francis into taking stronger action against clergy members who commit acts of sexual abuse. Well and good. But a better course of action would be for the Catholic Church to open its priestly ranks to marriage.
Trump's SOTU did the impossible
In his State of the Union, President Donald Trump managed to do what political watchers wouldn't have predicted possible just a few short hours before his opening words -- and that's draw together the chamber, the Democrats and Republicans, the country. He made Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez smile and applaud, for crying out loud.

Virginia abortion bill makes mockery of state motto, 'sic semper tyrannis'
Virginia just proposed a bill that would allow women, until pretty much the very moment of birth, to abort. It was tabled. Still, this is the state with the motto of "sic semper tyrannis," or "thus always to tyrants," a phrase that's supposed to evoke images of freedom and justice. Not so for the babies, apparently.
Cliff Sims an opportunist Trump should ignore

Donald Trump vs. Fox News, vs. Ann Coulter, vs. et al

Roger Stone's 'Stormin' Norman' arrest a black mark on FBI
Roger Stone has been arrested, virtually guaranteeing that the media cycle for the foreseeable future will focus on tying this former adviser to the president to all-things-Russia-collusion, and by logical extension, all-things-impeach-Donald Trump. But the bigger story is the FBI's treatment of Stone during his arrest.

Why it's OK for Trump to back nonviolent regime change
President Trump, showing unhesitant leadership, has recognized Juan Guaido as interim, though not-really-legal president. That's an extraordinary -- wait, make that unprecedented -- slap in face of an elected president, in this case Nicolas Maduro, of another country, in this instance Venezuela.
