An Open Letter to Mr. George Clooney on Hate and the Southern Poverty Law Center

By
Please use your influence as a major donor to persuade the Southern Policy Law Center to amend its embittering and unproductive campaigns to label any political or social issue opponent as a hate group.

Muslims and Christians Should Work Together to Support Family and Human Flourishing

By

King Solomon, The False Mother, and Alfie Evans

Can Sex Be Casual? Searching for Connection on Campus

Gender Dysphoria and Children: An Endocrinologist’s Evaluation of I am Jazz

The New McCarthyism: Religion, Marriage, and Judicial Nominations

The Romance of Ordinary Marriage

By
It is fashionable to mock as bland and boring the ordinary men and women living out their married lives together, but they are often engaged in a quest far more challenging and romantic than anything the bohemian libertine will attempt.
