The president of the Southern Baptist Convention has a message regarding the looming Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage: We will not obey. “The Supreme Court of the United States is not the final authority nor is the culture itself,” declared Ronnie Floyd, the elected leader of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination. “The Bible is God’s final authority about marriage…
I have to admit, watching liberals divide into two mutually-exclusive camps over the Rachel Dolezal “transracial” nonsense is kinda fun. Samantha Allen of the Daily Beast comes down squarely on the side that attacks Dolezal’s actions as inexcusable, in no small part because it may be “damaging” the push for cultural normalization of transgenderism.

In the wake of Ferguson and Baltimore, it’s time for some reflection on how we got here. This year marks two significant anniversaries. In…
