And have they lost co

In 2006, O.J. Simpson wrote a book entitled, “if I did it,” where he detailed how he would have committed the murders of his ex-wife and her friend if he had actually done it.

Beyond that, Trump's speech was perhaps the most focused, articulate, and impressive speech he's ever given. Let's talk about the most memorable moments.

Far too much of Los Angeles now sits in ash and rubble. Leaders there are blaming everything from climate change to unmanageable, catastrophic, natural winds.

What L.A. reveals is the utter

When he passed away recently, New Testament scholar Richard Hays left a gift for those who deny the authority of Scripture relating to human sexuality.
