Back in Vietnam, my grandmother and great-grandmother were often paid unexpected visits by inhabitants of the spirit world. My favorite of their stories is the one about three men from their small coastal village who were lost at sea during a particularly bad storm. For days everyone scoured the shoreline looking for the bodies and […]
Target’s shares are plunging in an “increasingly volatile consumer environment,” though the retail giant is denying that the conservative boycott against its transgender bathroom policies is playing a big part. “Shares of the company were off 7.6 percent at $68 as of 4 p.m. trading on Wednesday.

My thoughts on “Noah” were divided. Overall, the film is a sinister piece of anti-religious filmmaking that is obviously meant to lead people away from God.

Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart.com My colleague Lisa De Pasquale has written a lively Bridget Jones-style memoir of dating in the conservative movement, Finding Mr. Righteous. …Conservative columnist Ann Coulter, one of many illustrious names to blurb De Pasquale’s book, writes that it is “[a] true Christian story, disguised as racy Chick Lit.” It’s more than […]
Initial screenings of Darren Aronofsky’s “Noah” has revealed that Christians were not entirely on board with the “Black Swan” director’s depiction of the famous Genesis character. After “Noah” superseded its initial $125 million budget and became the costliest movie that Aronofsky had ever made, Paramount Pictures forced the director – against his will – to […]
President Franklin D.
