Dear Christian,

You don’t know me, and I won’t pretend to know you, but we are at a critical juncture in our country and in our respective faiths and it’s important that we act and act quickly. On Friday, the Republican president signed an ethically, legally, and morally questionable executive order that restricted immigration from seven nations — none …

America first. The Netherlands, second?

And thanks, Leftover, for sharing this. I guess the rest of the world sees our new president precisely for what he is.

If you would like to talk to the President…

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ digital team has figured out a way to let you connect to one of Donald J. Trump’s businesses around the world.

Voter fraud and you

We can argue whether Donald J.

(Acosta later said a Trump spokesman threatened to expel him.) Here’s the thing. In …

I hereby offer myself as Donald J. Trump’s spiritual adviser…

…as I don’t think Franklin Graham is up to the task. News has broken that Russia has “compromising” information on the president-elect that may involve “perverted sexual acts” including having Russian prostitutes perform “golden shower shows” for him on a bed once slept in by the Obamas.
