I can’t say I’ve watched the Senate hearings on Trump’s cabinet picks wall-to-wall, but I’ve heard enough to know that what’s going on is the art of not answering the question. It’s fairly easy. It goes like this: when someone asks you a question, you reframe it to suit your agenda. Politicians do this all the time. Senator: “Do you support the idea of guns in school?

The holidays are over, but Jesus is still fresh in my mind. I can’t quite get back to the secular life and yet, I’m not hopping on the ark either. I feel like I’m back where I was before the election last year, before Trump and Hillary, before I chose sides. For most of my life, I’ve looked at the political landscape and wondered who are these people?
