Trump Needs to End the Death By Delay Tactics Stalling DAPL
Earlier this week, the Army Corps of Engineers sided with President Obama’s job-killing stance on the Dakota Access Pipeline by posting a decision that further delays construction of the much-needed project. It seems that developing and reviewing more than 1,200 pages of environmental and cultural analysis, consulting with 55 Native American tribes nearly 400 times, and successfully defending its route twice in federal court was just not enough for the political activists hellbent on preventing American energy independence.

Cook: Clinton passes 1M in popular vote lead
Hillary Clinton has surpassed 1 million in her popular vote margin over President-elect Donald Trump, according to a Tuesday tally from the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. Clinton leads Trump in the popular vote, 61,694,263 to 60,961,967, Cook officials said, with 20,000 votes from Montgomery County, Md., pushing her over the 1 million mark. Trump won the White House via the Electoral College a week ago, while the former secretary of State is now the fifth nominee in American history to win the popular vote but lose the presidency.

We Work Less, Have More Leisure Time and Earn More Money
Globally, a worker could expect to work 2,227 hours in 1950. By 2016, however, he or she worked only 1,855 hours. That's a decline of 17 percent. Over the same time period, global inflation-adjusted income per capita per year rose from $11,578 to $24,400, or 111 percent. Put differently, we are working less while making more money.

CHILDREN WITHOUT MOTHERS AND FATHERS, WITHOUT HOPE OF ADOPTION
Christianity has more descriptive power than secular egalitarianism since the latter’s universalist discourse prevents it from describing the world as it is with its inherent distinction between biological and adoptive parents. The point, though, isn’t simply that the terms mother, father, and adoption are phenomenologically necessary. The point is that they are necessary unto salvation. When they are taken from children, children are stripped of their ability to locate their immediate experiences within the theatre of divine action.

Newspaper in Conyers, GeorgiaDARRELL HUCKABY: Take a seat — history class is in session
Goodness gracious sakes alive, does this country need a history lesson! Never in the past four years have I wanted so badly to have a class of people to teach. Teenagers or adults or senior citizens — it wouldn’t have mattered. I have seen so much appalling ignorance about our country, its history and its constitution that I have just wanted to grab the populace and shake them until they understood.

Confronting hate one stroke at a time
With every stroke of a paintbrush, the word seemed to disappear. The mayor took a swipe. Ordinary citizens did, too. City Council members, clergy, social justice advocates and organizers, children, police and fire officials – all took up the brush. Each took a swipe against the N-word – spray-painted in bright red on the side of a children’s center named for Martin Luther King Jr. – and with each one, it became harder to recognize that the word had ever been there at all.
