Time for Time-Less Truth - Robert Knight
It’s been a long while since I perused Time magazine, either online or in print.
Years ago, the weekly ceased being an interesting news magazine and evolved into a caricature of fashionable left-wing thought. It is no longer required reading.
However, Time managed to work its way back into national consciousness this week with its colorful cover asking, “Is Truth Dead?” The irony of Time’s editors raising that question probably never dawned on them.
The immediate object is to remind people of Time’s iconic April 8, 1966 cover from 51 years ago that asked “Is God Dead?” The secondary goal is to entice people into reading an attack on President Trump, plus the usual assortment of bizarre, culture-wrenching articles.

Update on the Target Boycott
AFA Target boycott crashes corporate earnings
AFA’s 1.4 million supporters are dealing a crippling blow to Target over their dangerous bathroom policy. The Target boycott, launched in April 2016, is causing a significant drop in foot traffic to the store. Effects of the boycott are clear in Target’s financial report released February 28. The report indicated a dramatic drop in Target’s sales and earnings during October, November, and December. This bad news for Target resulted in the company’s stock value dropping 13 percent on the day of the report.
Together we are making an unprecedented financial impact on a corporation whose policy is to allow men to use women’s restrooms and dressing rooms. Target’s decision is unacceptable for families, and their dangerous and misguided policy continues to put women and children in harm’s way.

The Cowardice of Their Convictions
There isn’t an elected Republican in the House of Representatives who didn’t run on repealing Obamacare. Every Republican in the House last year voted in favor of repealing the law, as did every Republican in the Senate. They put that bill on President Barack Obama’s desk, he vetoed it, as they knew he would, and they claimed a moral victory for keeping a campaign promise.
But empty promises are easy to keep; it’s leading that is hard.
Leadership of the principled variety was lacking in government this week at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. President Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan were so interested in passing something on the issue of health care they were willing to support anything. Arms were twisted, deals were cut, and nothing was done.

Democrats are Smiling
President Donald Trump on Sunday blasted the group of conservative lawmakers and a prominent right-wing think tank that helped block his healthcare bill from passing.
In a tweet, the president explained that Democrats benefited from the House Freedom Caucus and the Heritage Foundation's opposition to the American Health Care Act, which right-leaning members of congress refused to support because they believed it did not adequately roll back President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.
"Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!" Trump wrote, shortening the term "Obamacare."
Though Trump previously needled the House Freedom Caucus on Twitter, hoping to scare members into getting behind the bill, his tweet Sunday shifted the blame. Initially when the bill failed on Friday, Trump blamed Democrats, though House leaders never made serious attempts to compromise with Democrats on the AHCA.
