Pre-millennialists generally avoid specifying a date for the return of Jesus. They do so because they have learned from experience. Every date they pick has come and gone without anything happening. Eventually the message sinks in: to avoid being laughed at do not identify the date. By contrast, Pillow Head goes where pre-millennialists fear to […]

The Power of History Textbooks: A 1619/Critical Race Theory Case Study

History textbooks are in the news. So is the history curriculum. The source of the news is not the federal Department of Education over some new regulation (remember Common Core?).

Presidential Shrine versus Presidential Library for the Former Guy

In 2021, Vice President Mike Pence did not have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and the Constitution.
