“Thou Shalt Not Steal.” The Bible lists this as the Eighth Commandment that God gave to Moses when he set up the major rules for how human beings should live their lives. It's pretty straightforward. But to be fair, if you’ve never read the Bible, you may not know how important this particular rule is.  Lack of knowledge of this rule could be the defense that two young men will be using in…

“Hamilton,” the hip-hop musical chronicling the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton set a record Monday as it garnered 16 Tony Award nominations, more than any other show in Tony history.  But if you want to experience the critically acclaimed production, you’re going to have to wait. Probably for a very long time.   At this point, tickets for the show are sold out until January of 2017…

If you thought the 2016 election cycle couldn’t get any more bizarre, you were wrong. GOP frontrunner Donald Trump decided to double down on this year’s election insanity by attacking Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, implying that he may have been complicit in the assassination of President John F.

It's a pretty straightforward question, and five years ago it probably would have been met with a fairly straightforward response. Something along the lines of: "What the hell is wrong with you?" followed by a severe beating.  But it's a brave new world we're living in -- a world in which Americans are increasingly being pressured into embracing the practice of boys who identify as girls (and…
