Disney Still Reeling from Blowback
- Details
- By Bill Donohue - President, Catholic League
Bob Iger has been hanging around Disney seemingly forever, and every time he quits, he re-retires (he's done so at least three times).
When he left as CEO in 2021, he managed to become executive chairman, keeping an eye on his successor, Bob Chapek. Last November, Chapek was shown the door, and Iger jumped back in the saddle as CEO again. He was supposed to retire at the end of 2024, but now that date has been extended to December 31, 2026. He definitely has a grip on the Disney board.
In 2021, Iger's total compensation was $46 million, more than double what he earned the previous year. His new contract includes an annual bonus equal to 500 percent of his annual salary. Disney chairman Mark Parker says he's worth every penny of it. But is he?
Progressives and Populists vs. the Credit Card Market
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
Central planning, never out of fashion on the left, is now more popular than ever on the right thanks to the GOP's populist takeover. This is why a recurring effort to intervene in the credit-card processing market is finding more support in the new Congress than it did in the previous one.
Interchange fees are charged by payment networks, such as Visa or Mastercard, whenever you use a credit card. Collected fees go to both the credit-card processing service and the card issuer. Card issuers must maintain and improve payment networks, protect data, combat fraud and bear the risk of debtor default. Fees help cover all of this.
Slavery in Fact and Fiction

A Historical Perspective on American Slavery
Slavery is one of those subjects of American history that is highly charged emotionally and wrapped in the sensitivities of both historical and modern political agendas. Any discussion of slavery is unfortunately very much bound by the chains of modern political correctness and woke cancel-culture. This severely hinders a historically accurate and realistic perspective on American slavery. Unvarnished and uninhibited truth on this important aspect of American history is sorely needed.
The image of American slavery in the minds of most people today is one of chains, bullwhips, cruelty, and arrogant human abuse. This was often true of the transportation of slaves associated with the slave trade but was largely untrue of the practice of slavery on American shores. The actual practice of slavery in America was in the vast majority of cases considerably more benign than its modern image. There were, of course, many inherent flaws in slavery as a social and economic system that limited social and economic justice and opportunity. Some inexcusable human abuses did occur under American slavery and should not be condoned, but such abuses were far less common than generally assumed. Even Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, based principally on accounts of runaway slaves, Southern newspaper records of slave masters prosecuted by Southern state governments, and only very limited firsthand familiarity with the South, gives a more balanced picture of slavery than the common modern image.
Is “Abandonment Theology” Really Scriptural?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”
So said the 6th President of the U.S., John Quincy Adams, on July 4, 1821. I’ve read that quote often in the past, and I’ve always believed it to be both insightful and truthful. I’ve long assumed that most Americans of the “experienced” variety (i.e. those who are as ‘old as rocks’, like me) always endorsed the accuracy of Adams’ statement. I’m not quite as confidant that our younger fellow citizens subscribe to that sentiment, or have even heard of President John Quincy Adams, and lately I’m increasingly concerned that Americans of all ages no longer value the wisdom of our “elders” and our Founders. Let me share some of my concerns with you.
Lunar Recession and the Age of the Earth - Part 7
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In this final installment in this series on lunar recession, in an effort to be thorough and to give the 4.5 billion year figure every possible chance a simulation was run specifically so as to match the Paleontological Data. However, the results only make matters worst for the 4.5 billion year figure because it not only fails to save the figure but actually raises more problems for it.
This chart shows how this backward projection goes for the number of days in a year as compared to the old Earth proponents' own Paleontological Data. While it obviously fits that data it happens by artificially adjusting the phase angle (θ) specifically to fit it and not based on any actual geological bases.
God, Leibniz, and this Best Possible World
- Details
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
Most people do not take the trouble to understand things at their deepest level. They lack either interest or ability, or both. But philosophers, as men who aim and claim to understand things more deeply, are rare; and true philosophers, for reasons Plato gave in the Republic, are rarer still.
Philosophy done rightly is a central part of a broader Christian wisdom that takes all truths captive (2 Corinthians 10:5). The ruling or architectonic art and science, philosophy is inquiry into the nature of ultimate reality. By seeing and describing for humanity the nature and works of God, the true philosopher, as Augustine says in the City of God, gives the highest glory to God by his loving obedience to the Triune God's command to take all truths captive.
Bill of Rights and Christianity
- Details
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
What precipitated a need for a Bill of Rights in the initially ratified United States Federal Constitution? And what is the present interpretive effect of the First Amendment on the sharing of Biblical Christianity?
The Constitution of the United States was drafted in 1787 and then presented to the individual states for ratification. Those who advocated state ratification of the Constitution, as is, were called Federalists. Those who initially objected to state ratification, without additional protections, were called anti-federalists.
