On Friday, the debut of Tim Allen’s sitcom “Last Man Standing” drew an impressive 8 million viewers on Fox, according to Variety. The outlet notes that the sitcom’s 1.8 in adults 18-49 is the highest the show has received since its second season on ABC. “Last Man Standing” began its initial six-season run on ABC in 2011. It was cancelled in 2017 despite being ABC’s second highest-rated comedy, trailing “Modern Family” by approximately half a million viewers in Live+7 ratings. ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey claimed that the cancellation was due to “many factors,” one of which was the network’s move away from comedy on Friday nights. There was also speculation that the cancellation was due in part to licensing costs as the show was produced by 20th Century Fox. Whatever the reason, Dungey insists that “politics had absolutely nothing to do with it.” Following the cancellation, Allen said he was “blindsided,” adding: There’s nothing more dangerous to me, especially in th...

CNN founder Ted Turner criticized the network he started during an interview that is set to air on Sunday, saying that it is not balanced and is too political. Appearing on “CBS Sunday Morning” with host Ted Koppel, Turner indicated that while he does not watch CNN much anymore and does not want to criticize, he does not agree with the direction in which the left-wing network is going. “I think they’re stickin’ with politics a little too much,” Turner said. “They’d do better to have — a more balanced — agenda.” Turner also revealed during the interview that he is battling Lewy Body Dementia, which causes him to experience fatigue and memory issues. WATCH: “I think they're stickin' with politics a little too much, they’d do better to have – a more balanced – agenda."

When Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) requested a delay of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s full Senate confirmation vote to the Supreme Court, the swing vote GOP member made headlines — and some people weren’t so happy. On Friday, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11-10 in favor of moving Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Senate floor. However, Flake requested a one-week delay for an FBI investigation into the accusations made against Kavanaugh. Before Friday’s hearing, female protestors confronted Flake in an elevator due to the senator’s decision to vote yes for Kavanaugh, which had been announced earlier in the day. Watch the video below: Women confront Sen. Jeff Flake after he says he'll vote yes to Kavanuagh: “That’s what you’re telling all women in America, that they don’t matter. They should just keep it to themselves because if they have told the truth you’re just going to help that man to power anyway.” pic.twitter.com/T7fSpyT69E — CNN (@CNN) September 28, 2018 Form...

The Brett Kavanaugh confirmation fight has moved the United States into a brave new world of raw, primal politics. Many Americans who have resisted tribal callings will be forced to pick sides. For many in the center-right coalition who have resisted pressure to move toward President Donald Trump, the hearings have done it. What we have witnessed is a disgusting display of partisan gamesmanship by Democrats who are willing to use a traumatized woman against a good, innocent man. There is no question that, after watching her testimony, Christine Blasey Ford has been the victim of some long ago inflicted trauma. There is also no question that Judge Brett Kavanaugh is not the one who inflicted it. With the help of a female prosecutor from Arizona named Rachel Williams, Republican senators dwelled on the process through which Ford came to testify. Ford could not remember dates and repeatedly contradicted her written testimony. She could not remember giving notes to The Washington Post, w...

I want to tell you about my upcoming book, “Jesus Is Risen, Paul and the Early Church,” for release Oct. 2. This is my fourth Christian-themed book and I am more enthused with each one. Ever since I became a believer, I’ve been eager to share my experiences. Ever since I began to study the Bible, I’ve been anxious to share what I’ve learned with people who may be skeptics or unsure, like I used to be. In my first Christian-themed book, “Jesus on Trial,” I recounted my personal faith journey from skeptic to believer. Next was “The Emmaus Code,” in which I detailed the countless ways the Old Testament points to Jesus Christ. In “The True Jesus,” I presented the Gospels as one unified narrative in chronological order. I went through nearly every verse in all four books, sometimes quoting verbatim and other times paraphrasing, though striving to remain absolutely true to the text, which I firmly believe is the inspired Word of God. Throughout the narrative, I interlaced commentary and i...

Moral panics, or instances of mass hysteria, have occurred throughout history. Two of the most notorious are the Salem Witch Trials of the 1690s and the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 90s. The panics almost exclusively involve women and children and fears for their safety, especially from sexual abuse. We are in the midst of another such panic, but despite the similarities to past episodes, we are still unable to recognize it as such. The current panic has been playing out in the military and on college campuses for nearly a decade, but with the advent of the #MeToo movement, the mass hysteria is creeping into our regular legal system as well. The following are five of the biggest signs that we are experiencing another bout of mass hysteria, this time over sexual assault and harassment. 1. Due Process Goes Out The Window Due process is the cornerstone of our legal system, but in times of mass hysteria, it becomes the enemy. In Salem, those accused of witchcraft were presumed guilty ...

On Friday, during a flurry of developments in the Kavanaugh saga, President Trump ordered the FBI to open a “supplemental investigation” into his SCOTUS nominee. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders shared the following statement from the president: Statement from President @realDonaldTrump : “I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week.” — Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) September 28, 2018 I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week. President Trump’s actions come on the heels of Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) voting Kavanaugh out of committee on the condition that the FBI conduct a limited-scope investigation into the allegations made against the nominee prior to a final ...
