Gracearchy with Jim Babka

GRACE. Jesus didn"t bring us religion; humans had long been sacrificing to the gods. His Gospel is an undeserved gift that overflows the heart and splashes out in waves that bless others. ARCHY. A suffering servant is the true king. His "government" is made up of servants who voluntarily carry a cross, go the extra mile, and care for the weakest. Church and State don"t govern that way, so you"re "Done." HOST. Jim Babka"s career evolved from political campaigns to policy activism to principle-based

No one has correctly described the Late, Great Trump Undercount. The most popular explanation is comical - it's a laugh-out-loud moment in this episode. As Jim Babka explains, the polling business includes a built-in fuzziness, so that the polls were "technically" accurate. So why is it that the pollsters, the media, and millions of Americans were caught off-guard as Trump clinched unexpected victories in all the battleground states? Why were we astonished that he won the popular vote? How come no

Some wild and improbable conspiracy theories are floating around. Ironically, there are now libertarians, known for their mistrust of the State, who are now shaming others for their skepticism!

"The Apprentice," a movie about Trump's rise in the 1970s and 1980s under Roy Cohn's tutelage, opens in theaters this weekend.
