    Replying to @JonathanMerritt
    Driving a resurgence in white supremacy? I see no connection. This is about standing up to a false gospel --social justice -- which you are a major player in. That reveals why you react with such a bogus statement. REPENT Mr. Merrit!

    People who think my newspaper shouldn’t have published The Op-Ed are nuts. People who think its author shouldn’t have written it are reasonable.

    This is the exact rationale driving the resurgence of white supremacy today. And this type of theology opens the door wide to the expansion of those abhorrent movements.

    The Trump White House would stand outside on a sunny day and insist it was raining if they thought they would get away with it.....which they can bc their base believes anything they say even if there is indisputable video evidence proving they are lying.

    Fred Guttenberg, father of Parkland victim, Jaime, tries to shakes hands with Brett Kavanaugh: "My daughter was murdered at Parkland." White House says an "unidentified individual approached" Kavanaugh, but "before the judge was able to shake his hand, security had intervened."
