One can only imagine the wave of diversity trainings, unconscious bias seminars, and harassment workshops that is sweeping the corporate world right now. No doubt dozens of listless workers across the country are shuffling into dismal conference rooms and planting themselves around long rectangular tables in order to listen to a middle aged traveling-salesman-type trainer…

While the world turns its back on Mark Zuckerberg — the man who gave them life as they know it, the man who revolutionized society and our relationships, the man who built the platform on which most of us spend hours a day — I embrace him. The man has been the focus of two…

What is the murder molecule? How much does justice weigh? These are questions that have no answer in a materialistic world view. A famous statement from Dr. Frank Turek made during both of his debates with Christopher Hitchens on the question of whether or not God exists. Despite the fact that Dr. Turek, in my…
