Silly. How, then, do you account for your ladybits? The existence of ladybits MUST be accounted for! When Worlds Collide Ultimately, I think, the not-a-disease notion of pregnancy is a lot like the Watchmen/My Little Pony mashup…

By Jonathan Malesic

…he truth. In recent weeks, minor errors by ABC News, CNN, the FBI, and the Washington Post’s David Weigel have all invited disproportionate condemnation from Trump. Weigel should be fired; the FBI’s “reputation is in Tatters”; CNN committed fraud; ABC News should be sued. I’ve argued before that the right wants to muddy up moral distinctions when it’s their actions that are under scrutiny. They say, in effect, “nobody’s perfect” in order to minimi…

Mormon D.C. Pride Delegation Continues Nationwide Movement

By Joanna Brooks

About seventy Mormons marched in Saturday’s Washington, D.C. Pride parade, carrying the banner “Mormons for Marriage Equality.” Like the Mormons Building Bridges contingent in Salt Lake City, most of the LDS marchers wore Sunday dress.

You’re Mormons!” He pushed through the parade watchers and with tears in…

White evangelicals taki…

He expressed full understanding of the anger that fueled the cry for…

The Way We Never Were: Calling Out Evangelicals For Hypocrisy Misses the Point

By Hollis Phelps

…aith, though, and in this sense they mirror the president. Writing for the Washington Post, Greg Sargent recently noted that Trump’s declaration of a national emergency is “a sham based on nothing but bad-faith motives and invented metrics.” While a solid majority of Americans aren’t buying it, evangelicals are: some two-thirds agree with Trump that there is a national emergency at the border that warrants Trump’s declaration. Calling out evangeli…

…e a wake-up call for the out-of-touch so-called leadership of Gay, Inc. in Washington, D.C., which has become little more than a subsidiary of the Democrat Party.” Actually, it should be a wake-up call to the LGBT community that we need to become better informed about the issues facing us and how voting Republican can affect that. With the House going majority Republican, it will now be harder, if not impossible, to get issues like Don’t Ask, Don’…
