Anglican evangelicals: 6 quotes from the past for the present
The news that three major conservative Anglican evangelical groups are seeking to come together has been greeted with varying reactions. Many people have responded very positively. They see the move as a way of furthering gospel unity, pooling resources effectively and bringing together three organisations with frankly miniscule differentials (Church Society, Reform and the Fellowship of Word and Spirit). Others are struggling to come to terms with the idea at this stage. They are raising thoughtful concerns which the leadership teams of the three groups will no doubt address. Still other have reacted with wearily predictable kneejerk negativity.

President Trump in CPAC Speech Says Deregulation Is as Important as Tax Cuts
President Donald J. Trump in his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference today spent seven minutes discussing his deregulatory agenda, ending the war on energy, getting out of the Paris climate treaty, the harmful effects of Paris, and the positive effects his policies are having on property owners and workers. Notably, he said that in his opinion getting rid of job-killing regulations had just as big an impact on the economy as the tax cuts. The president spoke for more than an hour, and one of the longest interruptions for applause was when he said Paris would have been a disaster.

Post-Modern Propaganda: The Gatekeepers Are Gone
No plague in history spread with the speed of internet disinformation. We live in an age of hyper-charged propaganda, an onslaught of lies more pervasive than any that came before. Over millennia, propaganda changed minds. Today, it changes governments and subverts institutions. And this flood has burst the dams that, for centuries, kept the foulest waters in check.

Delays put planned school construction costs over Moses Lake School District's $135.3 million bond
With construction delayed by at least a year, the Moses Lake School District is now faced with the reality that bond plans need to be changed due to increased costs. Due to a variety of factors – the election lawsuit keeping the district from selling bonds, delays in the state capital budget, the school construction industry - $135.3 million in construction bonds isn’t enough to move forward with current designs for a second high school and a new elementary school, according to Superintendent Josh Meek.
