I was asked to expound on a line I wrote last week about outcome gaps being used as evidence of systemic injustice rather than as a starting point for investigation (Three Ways to Be a Better Parent). Today, via a great example noted in The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, I’ll do just that.
Today, to close out my series on finding common ground in opposing viewpoints, I offer the last item in my list of positive initiatives the Trump Administration has accomplished. Despite the fact I supported Hillary Clinton in the last election, it didn’t take me long to come up with three good things.
In my article Finding Common Ground in Opposing Viewpoints, I wrote that it didn’t take long, when prompted, to come up with a list of positive things the Trump administration has accomplished. (Despite the fact I supported Hillary Clinton in the last election.)
In response, I received more than a few emails from folks on both sides of the aisle asking me to share the list and starting with last week’s discussion about the Taiwan Travel Act, today, I’ll share the second item on the list.

Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters standing there with broken wings ~ Daniel Lanois from his song “The Maker” Over the last few weeks, we’ve been chatting about immigration and sanctuary cities. Today I’ll close this thread out by taking a more personal perspective. Specifically, I wanted to articulate why, despite my background […]
Equal justice under law. ~ words written above the main entrance to the Supreme Court. I received quite a few emails in response to last week’s article about sanctuary cities. I thought I’d take today to briefly answer the following question, as it relates to many of the dissenting emails I received: What prevents state […]
Alien enemies are under the law of nations, and liable to be punished for offences against it. Alien friends, except in the single case of public ministers, are under the municipal law, and must be tried and punished according to that law only. ~ James Madison (source) I have quite a few readers of this […]
The amendment states but a truism that all is retained which has not been surrendered. ~ reference to the tenth amendment in United States v Darby (1941) For the first part of this year, I’ll be writing articles addressing emails I received from readers in 2018. With much focus on our southern border of late, […]
Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God. ~ Aeschylus As previously mentioned, I use “smile therapy” as a drill to overcome my introversion and, in turn, become better at my job […]
