FRANKLIN GRAHAM, EVANGELICALS SLAM CHRISTIANITY TODAY OVER IMPEACHMENT OP-ED:
Bestselling author Eric Metaxas, known for his work on Veggie Tales and his biographies of Deitrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther, also condemned the Christianity Today op-ed.

IT’S JUST ANOTHER TRUMP-FEATURING REALITY SHOW, AND TO BE HONEST IT’S NOT EVEN HIS BEST WORK: New York Times Discovers Voters Are Paying Little Mind To Impeachment.

ZERO TO SIXTY IN 2.8 SECONDS IS RATHER QUICK, REALLY: Why the C8 Corvette Stingray Is So Quick. Plus: “The C8’s peak acceleration is just over 1.0 g, occurring almost a second after launch. That figure dwarfs the C7’s 0.7-g peak.” In the sadly EPA-and-OPEC-dominated years of my teens, all the really impressive muscle cars were older. But now we’re in a golden age, looking ahead to what might be, not looking back at what was.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE IG’S NEW FBI INVESTIGATION? Probably not because the MSM was too wrapped up trying to spin the Horowitz report as a vindication of the FBI Russia hoax against President Donald Trump. But, as Jeff Carlson explains in this interview with The Epoch Times’ Jan Jekielek, the new IG probe means continued critical oversight and pressure for reform of the FBI.

THE FERES DOCTRINE WAS A DUMB JUDICIAL INNOVATION, AND I’M GLAD TO SEE CONGRESS ADDRESS IT BY STATUTE: Military Can No Longer Avoid Medical Malpractice Claims. “A provision tucked into the massive defense-spending bill creates a medical-malpractice exception to a 1950 U.S. Supreme Court decision in a case called Feres v.

The so-called Feres Doctrine has prompted courts to throw out dozens of medical malpractice complaints and discouraged countless plaintiffs from even filing suit.”
