He is scaling back his political involvement and activity after investing a significant amount of time, effort and money first in campaigning for President Trump and Republicans. He lasted only a few months helming the Department of Government Efficiency.
His disastrous record will linger far longer.
Musk’s critics underestimate him at their peril. Take the politics out of it, and his success would be an inspirational American story of innovation. Indeed, it wasn’t long ago that his progressi...

We’re built for more than paying bills and sitting in cubicles.
During an email exchange, a very close friend raised a fascinating question. “Do you think it’s beneficial to us that we constantly keep ourselves busy?”
I struggle with such an existential conversation. Oddly enough, I can always go to my friend Irina when I need an empathic sounding board. Ironically, she’s one of the busiest women in the Beltway.
While working remotely as a paralegal, she squeezes in a running routine before o...

Others have discovered the secret! That is the impression one gets in reading reflection after reflection of these souls devoted to Eucharistic Adoration. In these pages, we get a privileged glance into what happens in other people’s Holy Hours. We get to peer into the souls of others in their intimate exchanges with Emmanuel, God-with-us, in the Eucharist...

The Lay Dominicans in this book have discovered the secret! They have discovered the all-surpassing treasure and value and meaning we have in our Eucharistic Lord in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and Adoration.

Three Christian and Muslim families are suing the Montgomery County, Md. school board over the districts’ inclusion of books featuring gay and transgender content for very young students. The parents argue that Montgomery County Public Schools’ refusal to allow them an opt-out for their children violates their First Amendment rights.

Students and faculty at the University of Florida garnered national attention when 300 protesters took over a campus auditorium where officials were introducing Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) as the sole finalist to be the next president of the school . The demonstrators marched inside the academic theater as Sasse was set to speak, chanting, “Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Ben Sasse has got to go.” They banged their fists on windows, walls, and furniture. The protest grew so disruptive that audience members strug...

Last month, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority board announced the resignation of General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld. He had previously announced that he would retire on June 30, but his departure came earlier than planned. Good riddance. Metro’s new leader, Randy Clarke, can implement long-overdue modernization

Let’s face it, extroverts make our lives difficult. Congratulations to them, for living their lives out loud.

You know it’s been an upside-down year when the current NBA Finals MVP becomes a source for mindfulness.

Can people who follow their faith continue to offer their homes to foster children? When state or local governments impose unnecessary regulations on Christian foster agencies, they cannot, and it’s the children in need of a loving, supportive home who lose out.

Bigotry has come a long way in American politics. In one generation, we have gone from politicians who relied on dog whistles to cloak their racism to Donald Trump openly weaponizing it. With Trump out of the White House, other politicians are picking up the slack.

While in the NFL, Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality. Too many Americans dismissed his demonstration. Because the system persisted unchanged, George Floyd and others were killed. We all bear witness to this tragedy.

It is five o’clock in the morning. Why the hell did I wake up so early? Oh, right, I want to get an early start on the workday. I have trained myself to wake up early to get ready for the early morning commute, which is no longer necessary, for now. Yet, I have been blessed to telework full time since the start of social distancing. During a crisis, it is important to count your blessings.

There is nothing quite so depressing as politicians jerking nuns around. The Little Sisters of the Poor are returning to the U.S. Supreme Court for a third time. They’ve already twice defended their right not to comply with the Obamacare requirement that employers provide free contraceptive coverage in their health insurance.
The Little Sisters are a Roman Catholic charitable order that cares for the elderly and poor by operating 30 nursing homes across the country. Those homes have lay staff...
