Some Truth About the Media & Layoffs

2025/02/21

One of the greatest thinkers of the last century, Thomas Sowell, wisely noticed: “in life, there are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.” This should be more obvious than it is. Let me give just a couple of examples. For every household’s savings efforts, they trade the loss of an additional vacation. For every choice to work more hours, we trade the loss of family time. Life is trade-offs.This understanding is a mere repackaging of the concept of “cost-benefit analysis.” That skill,

2025/01/23

The newly-inaugurated president and vice-president participated this week in the tradition of attending a prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral. The event is one that has followed Inauguration Days for decades and mostly transpires without much attention.Notable at this event, though, a local Episcopal Bishopess spent a portion of her 15-minute “sermon” to implore the president directly to show “mercy” to “LGBTQ+ people” and to immigrants illegally present in the country during his new

2025/01/08

I saw it too – or at least many of the clips. The most-listened-to entertainment property in the English-speaking world, The Joe Rogan Experience, just featured – for more than three hours – one of the most articulate and doctrinally sound Christian apologists of his generation.I can’t believe I’m about to write these words, but here it goes. Because of Rogan’s enormous reach, it’s quite possible that the broadest Gospel-declaration in the history of the world just happened on . . . Joe Rogan’s
