In modern society, the institution of marriage has been and continues to be, under attack. What was once a sacred and holy joining of man and wife has become something people dabble in and abandon when the going gets tough. Perhaps vows should be changed from "For better or worse, until death do us part" to "until things get hard or I don't like your face anymore." Such a holy union has become a cheapened commodity, almost like purchasing a car. Don't like the way the transmission is acting up?... Full story

We appealed to the common sense that the government cannot fix everything, own everything, or control everything. We war... Full story

This year was a good one for technology. We saw advances in both accessibility and performance driven by the changing shape of our post-pandemic world.

But we also saw things like Apple’s new in-house silicon evolving, new devices from Amazon, Meta and Google for staying connected with loved ones and Samsung’s Galaxy-Z Flip folding-s...
