Two cops murdered as protest

Last updated on: December 21, 2014 at 5:54 pm By Gene Veith

The protests against the killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, and Eric Garner in New York City have led to what a New Jersey police union official describes as a “fever pitch of anti-police sentiment.” Across the country, routine police actions have become fraught with tension and the rhetoric of the protesters is sometimes advocating violence against the police. Now two New York City police officers have been assassinated as retaliation. (more…) Read more

#8 most popular Cranach blog post of the year

On April 3, 2014, we put up a post about Spanish scholars who are claiming to have identified the cup that Jesus used in the Last Supper. This ostensibly scientific quest lacked the panache of quest undertaken by the Knights of the Round Table. And by those older standards, the grail must not have been achieved after all, since the spiritual wasteland continues. But the post on the subject was the eighth most popular of the year: Finding the Holy... Read more

Consequences of normalized relations with Cuba

Last updated on: December 18, 2014 at 3:57 pm By Gene Veith

0 Comments

The fallout from President Obama’s decision to extend diplomatic relations to Castro’s Cuba is mixed. As some worry about another cave-in to tyranny, others are excited about the commercial prospects: Major League Baseball is salivating over bringing in Cuban talent. Smokers are salivating over getting Cuban cigars. Travellers are enthusiastic about a hot new tourist destination. Some Republicans think Obama’s move will put Florida in their column for decades, while some Democrats think the anti-Castro sentiment in Florida’s Cuban population... Read more

Pope did NOT say animals are going to heaven

We linked to the story that the Pope, in comforting a child, said that his dog would go to Heaven. But he never said that, there was no child, and the attribution was actually to a misunderstanding of something said by Pope Paul VI! The story, put out by the New York Times, no less, was fake all the way through and a textbook case in incompetent journalism! (more…) Read more

In another use of executive power to implement his legacy apart from Congress, President Obama has announced that he is going to extend diplomatic recognition to Cuba. We will be re-opening our embassy in Havana, ease travel restrictions, and eliminate economic sanctions against the still-Communist regime. Good idea? Bad idea? What does it mean? (more…) Read more
