Outside the Beltway

Hegseth didn’t label Mormons as “Christian” on his list and Mike Lee isn’t happy.

Returning to a debate from the comment section.

Hegseth’s pulpit.

We can forgive the raping, graft, election stealing, and warmongering. But this goes too far!

With pundits like this, no wonder we have the problems we have.

Sounding a barbaric yawp over the streets of the world.

On nations, borders, and laws.

Thinking about how what is known about Trump and Epstein.

A sad fact about the quality of American leadership and an indictment of Christians who ardently support it.

Elections, the states, and the presidency edition.

We are observing an effort to embed democratically questionable sectarian norms into the day-to-day life of federal workplaces. 

Thinking about the evolution (or is it devolution) of the GOP since the 1990s.

Cruz on supporting Israel.

Rural Americans are misunderstood!

The roots of MAGA run deep, through places like my old home.

Cults of personality are not the same as cults.

No big surprises from the dumbest recurring contest in American politics.

White Christian nationalism and the fight for control of America.

Where religious zealotry can lead. (So, yes, a digression into American politics).

The Establishment is desperate for an alternative that’s not coming.

We’re getting weird policies almost nobody is asking for.

“The GOP” is not a singular unit.
