Kerby Anderson The procedure of de-banking is a problem that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, the problem is often ignored because leaders of financial institutions maintain they do not deny banking services to individuals because of their political views. In previous commentaries, I have talked about how Nigel Farage lost access to banking services in the UK, which he believed was due to his previous involvement in Brexit. I’ve quoted Marc Andreesen, who in a Joe Rogan interview said he…

Kerby Anderson In previous commentaries, I’ve talked about the seven million young men who are not working but also are not looking for work. Generation Z behind them has four million who have been given the term NEETs. NEET stands for “Not in Education, Employment, or Training.” One article clarifies that “some Gen Zer’s may fall into this category because they are taking care of a family member,” but cautions that “many have become frozen out of the increasingly tough…

Penna Dexter It may not be their ideal life dream, but a Wall Street Journal analysis concludes that “American women have never been this resigned to staying single.” In response to major demographic shifts and also divergent beliefs about what a family should look like, today’s single women are less anxious to get married than they used to be and less interested in marriage than their male peers. In her piece, titled “American Women Are Giving Up on Marriage,” Rachel…

Kerby Anderson Rich Lowry proclaims that “Safety is the Worst Word in the English Language.” You might think that statement and commentary are strange unless you have been paying attention to the release of the “Twitter Files.” Safety has been used as a justification for the censoring of Twitter posts and the de-platforming of certain people who post tweets that some of the leadership at Twitter considered harmful or unsafe. He is not the only person to focus on the…

Kerby Anderson Merrill Matthews was in my radio studio recently to make the case that the “Axis of Evil” is now bigger, bolder, and more evil than twenty years ago. Back in 2002, President George W. Bush identified three countries during the State of the Union address that he designated as the “Axis of Evil.” Those countries were Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. Merrill Matthews suggested that we now identify the countries that should be listed as part of the…

Kerby Anderson Doubt is a perennial concern for Christians. Every Christian has feelings of doubt at one time or another. Unfortunately, many Christians assume that doubt is the opposite of faith. They assume that wandering among the hard questions of faith will lead us further from a belief in God. Travis Dickinson is a professor of philosophy at Dallas Baptist University. His latest book is, Wandering Toward God: Finding Faith Amid Doubts and Big Questions. He was in my radio…

Kerby Anderson We face a battle for truth every day. That is why I was delighted to interview Dr. Jeff Myers (Summit Ministries) on his new book, Truth Changes Everything. His first four chapters focus on truth in various ways. One chapter explores the difference between the Truth viewpoint and the truths viewpoint. Another chapter tells ancient stories about truth. Most importantly, he provides a method to evaluate different views of truth and shows how non-biblical views of truth always…

Kerby Anderson If you want to understand the collapse of the Judeo-Christian consensus in this country, you need to look beyond individual programs and policies and take a more expansive view. In a speech for Hillsdale last year, Christopher Rufo (Manhattan Institute) provided a multi-decade description. The original leftist dream expected a rebellion from the working class in America. That never took place by the end of the 1960s. Leftists, therefore, abandoned their original plan of waging a revolution with…

Penna Dexter President Trump has signed an executive order directing U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to dismantle the Department of Education. The order recognizes the fact that the administration cannot shut down the department on its own. Congress must be involved. However, there is much the secretary can do to begin the process of closing the agency. She is quickly proceeding to slash the Department of Education’s staff by half, eliminating 1,950 positions. She has ended some of the…

Kerby Anderson Elon Musk is in the news again, but his comments this time are about the military. Recently he posted that “America needs a large quantity of long-range drones.” He argued that “Anything manned will die very fast in a drone war.” In a previous post, he shared a video of Chinese drones, with the caption, “Meanwhile, some idiots are still building manned fighter jets like the F-35.” This is a quick way to get criticized by certain members…

Kerby Anderson Many stories are surfacing about waste, fraud, and abuse, but there is one story that is being mentioned by numerous commentators. The Department of Justice has been investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. This was created when Congress passed President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was a $27 billion program within the Environmental Protection Agency and was lauded as a “first-of-its-kind” program to address the climate crisis while revitalizing marginalized communities. Although it was…
