  07-10-2020 23:44
  
  Early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe the ability to translate was one of the spiritual gifts mentioned in the New Testament.Church founder Joseph Smith said he translated the faith’s signature scripture, the Book of Mormon, “by the gift and power of God” from ancient writings found on gold plates.So, if Smith used this gift to translate the Book of Mormon, as he asserted, how might he have done it? Was there more to this mystical process? Wha

• Rich Lowry: They’ve got nothing on Amy Coney Barrett

  07-10-2020 22:49
  
  The Supreme Court fight of the century is, so far, a fizzle.The ratio of progressive outrage over the nomination of federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett to supposed reasons that the U.S. Senate shouldn’t confirm her is completely out of whack — there’s a surfeit of the former and almost none of the latter.Barrett has received extraordinary testimonials from her colleagues and students, who say she is brilliant, conscientious and kind.

  This is a strange moment for racial politics in America.

He began his rise to the presidency stoking racial paranoia via birtherism, and he’s trying to hold the presidency by stoking racial parano
