For years my parents have taken an annual Spring or Summer vacation to Amelia Island, just outside of Jacksonville, Florida. It is, in my opinion, one of the nicer beach destinations in Florida.

There’s no doubt about it. The Year of Censorship wasn’t kind to the Rolex of Polemics Blogs.

And so, our publishing group, The Gideon Knox Group, has been savvily maneuvering … Read more

Twitter wasn’t laughing on Monday when it suspended the account of popular Christian satire site The Babylon Bee for several hours, claiming they “violated our rules against platform manipulation and spam” before ultimately restoring them.
