God’s Way, Not Ours I was meditating on how the early church functioned so differently than ours do today. Paul wrote in First Corinthians 14:26 that when Christians come together everyone should have something to share. I quote, “What then, brothers and sisters, when you meet together, each one has a hymn, a teaching, a disclosure of special knowledge or information, an utterance in a strange tongue or an interpretation of it. But let everything be constructive and edifying and for the good of all.” Our worship services tend to be a one-p...

Is government-facilitated re-importation of prescription medicines from Canada a policy now supported by politicians as diverse as President Donald Trump and Senator Bernard Sanders an issue of free trade, or a backdoor method of imposing price controls? That's the way the question is usually framed in policy debates, but the great Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman took a third view.

The Constitution is presently used by both major political parties defending or opposing the House Intelligence Committee impeachment inquiry against President Donald J. Trump. Both argue their loyalty to it. It reads: “The House of Representatives … shall have the sole Power of Impeachment,” (Art. I, Sec. 2, Cla. 5). The people place a president in power and their representatives—the House—alone initiates and formulates the charges for his possible removal. The “Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.” So one indicts, the...
The Justice Department Monday took the first step towards dramatically expanding its collection of DNA samples from migrants facing criminal charges. The department has proposed a rule that would collect DNA samples from migrants in both U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and sent those samples to the FBI lab for analysis. FBI investigators would then enter the DNA information into its Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS, database. The database is used to identify criminals and assist with...
