| by Joshua Arnold |
| Southern California wildfires continue to blaze out of control, besieging the Los Angeles basin from the north and west. Fire hydrants in Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and elsewhere ran dry as firemen strove to defend entire neighborhoods all at once. Hurricane-force winds and an unusually dry winter have already taken 10 lives and destroyed thousands of buildings - including celebrity homes - in what may be the costliest wildfire season to date. |

| Ben & Jerry's Is Back at It with Its Tired Fascism Schtick |
| by Victoria Marshall |
| Leftist ice-cream chain Ben & Jerry's would do well to acquire a dictionary and look up the word "fascism." Perhaps then they'd finally discover the true meaning of the term. But they never will. There's a lot of power in slinging the label "fascist" at anything or anyone whose political views you disagree with. |

| Venezuela Dictator Will Be Another Headache for Trump |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for another term on Friday. The country's National Electoral Council (CNE), which he controls, declared Maduro the winner in July, despite significant evidence that he lost the election in July to opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez. Maduro's increasingly repressive regime will be another foreign policy headache for President-elect Donald Trump to face as he enters his second, nonconsecutive term. |

| Christ's Crucifixion: 'Cosmic Child Abuse' or the Greatest Act of Love Known to Man? |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| We can't ignore the reality that Jesus would have never been hung on the tree if God did not ordain it to be so. Indeed, it was God who allowed this excruciating death, and it all started before the foundation of the world. God sent His own Son to earth as a baby to live a perfect life only to die the most painful death imaginable. What kind of Father does this? If Judas, Pilate, and the crowd go down in history as people who betrayed and abandoned Jesus, what is to be said about the Supreme Being at the center of it all? |
