“People power,” chant his supporters.
“Our power,” echo others.

OPINION: The global warming assault on free speech
“Climate change” is all about us. Nearly everybody believes in it. Who could not? Sometimes a sunny day changes to rain, sometimes snow changes to sleet. The wind blows on Tuesday but changes on Wednesday, from knocking down trees to barely putting a ripple on the surface of the lake. Mark Twain, noticing that some things lie beyond the meddling of man, observed that “everybody talks about the

Climategate + 10: Free Speech on Trial

Some will find my characterization too reductive; the circumstances of a police encounter matter, they will say. But it is the simple truth. About one

An L.A. church seeks healing after a ‘violent and racist’ trauma
I went to church on Sunday, to St. Paul’s First Lutheran Church in North Hollywood — though I wasn’t sure if I’d be welcome there, given the strong words I’d just written about the deeply unwelcoming way several of its members had treated a Black woman who had sat down for a rest on the church lawn.
I don’t want to give you the false impression that what I’m about to tell you is all
