A look at Back to the Future's 2015 from the perspective of the real one

Happy New Year, everyone! I don't know if you stayed up late, but I didn't. I'm in the midst of a pretty wonderful conference called SHINE, which is put on by Actors, Models and Talent for Christ - an organization that has been training my son throughout this year in preparation for a career as an actor. So it's very much a work week for us here in Orlando, and it's going to be close to 80 and sunny today too!

Trouble already for the new GOP majority.

GOP getting ready to eliminate dishonest 'scoring' of spending and tax bills

The truth is that no matter what the CBO says about a bill's likely effect, it's still just a guess. But at least the new rules - if they pass - would see the guesses based more on how the real world works.

Neil deGrasse Tyson's Christmas trolling is not worth Christians' attention

Especially when a more serious look at science points to God.

In St. Louis: Cop shoots guy who points gun at him; crowds 'demand answers'

If you are a police officer in any city in America, you might as well just shoot yourself right now. Because the way the rules are apparently evolving, you have zero right to defend yourself in any circumstance. Use your weapon to defend yourself against an unarmed guy who is physically assaulting you, you will be called a murderous racist and celebrities will persuade the public to believe the guy put his hands up and said "don't shoot."

Obama on Norks' hacker attack: 'I don't think it was an act of war'

It was just "cybervandalism," but don't worry, we're going to "respond proportionally."

Caught in racist dogging of Obama, Sony's Amy Pascal endures obligatory meeting with Al Sharpton

Of course.

Oh terrific: U.S. thinks China, Iran or Russia may have helped with hacker attack on Sony

Has it occurred to you amidst all the coverage of the Sony hacker attack that the whole thing seems unusually sophisticated to be coming from the Norks, who are better known for making grand claims they can't back up and initiating missile tests that turn out to be duds?

What? It would cost money?

It's not just executive orders: Obama breaks record skirting the law via memoranda

Anything to get what he wants.

That U.S. district judge didn't exactly 'strike down' executive amnesty

A lot of people got pretty excited yesterday over the news that U.S. District Judge Arthur Schwab of Pennsylvania had declared President Obama's executive amnesty unconstitutional.
