It is common to hear that workers’ productivity no longer determines their wages. “Workers are delivering more, and they’re getting a lot less,” former vice president Biden recently argued. Income inequality supposedly demonstrates that the economy’s rewards are flowing, undeservedly, to those at the top. But does inequality necessarily mean that workers aren’t getting what

Every year since college, my best friend Dan and I have compiled our best observations on a wide range of topics that reflect on the year that has just expired.

I’d expect POTUS to throw a fit upon learning that he’s no better than tied with O in a popularity contest normally, but this result is progress for him. He finished second behind Obama the past two years, a poor result for a sitting president. Typically, if you’re in the Oval Office, you’re also America’s
It is not easy to understand what the left — as opposed to liberals — stands for. If you ask a Christian what to read to learn the basics of Christianity, you will be told the Bible. If you ask a (religious) Jew, you will be told the Hebrew Bible and the Talmud. If you
The New York Times has a long, narrative account of the block on Ukraine aid that adds some new details to the story. A major theme is how Trump’s top national-security advisors, rightly and understandably, opposed the hold, while other officials scrambled to come up with a legal justification for it. But the Times article

I got out of the political prediction habit after 2016 but a lot of people have been asking me about next year.

It is nothing new for Bandy X. Lee to sound the alarm about her opinion that President Trump is mentally ill.

Eric Swalwell recently alleged in an op-ed in the Jewish

As we Americans are propelled by constitutional obligation into another election year, I find myself pondering how I will handle it all in these post-normal political times.

Actress Emma Thompson attends the 2017 Cannes Film Festival in France. (Eric Gaillard/Reuters) On the hypocrisy of celebrity activists I love Emma Thompson’s acting.

This morning’s Gospel reading is Matthew 2:13–15, 19–23: When the magi had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.”
