We didn’t just bomb Iran, we bombed the future of diplomacy. We burned a bridge that was still standing, and now we stand on the edge of war by choice, not necessity.
Because if we really want to change the world, we’re going to have to start by changing how we talk to each other.
And that begins, not with louder voices, but with shutting up long enough to listen.

Here’s the simple truth:
I only have so much time in this beautiful life.
I’m not going to waste another precious second tolerating intolerant stupidity.
Later today, the nation will witness the Army 250th Anniversary Parade in Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump will transform what should be a solemn and unifying tribute to American military service into a carefully staged celebration of personal power.
This feud may have started as entertainment. But now, it’s deadly serious. And if cooler heads don’t prevail, it could tear open cracks in our government, our economy, and our already fragile sense of national security.
When Ronald Reagan assumed the governorship of California in 1967, he brought with him a fundamentally different philosophy, one that viewed education not as a public right but as an economic commodity. His shift wasn’t just about budgets. It was about fear.

Progress doesn’t come from the barrel of a gun. It comes from a foundation laid in steel and soul. It comes from a desire to truly lead by example. China has been laying it for decades. The question Carter raised quietly, surgically; is whether we still can.
As Catholics around the world mourn the death of a beloved pope, Donald Trump, never one to let solemnity get in the way of self-promotion, stepped into the spotlight dressed as the pope himself, mere days after attending the pope’s funeral in Rome.
We cannot hope to do business — or live peacefully — in a diverse world where the majority of people have dramatically different religious beliefs if we don’t take the time to understand them and seek common ground.
If you are convinced that your religious beliefs are truth and that the nation should be governed under God, then you’re probably part of the problem. We would be wise to consider the price we will pay when faith takes away our freedom.
