Julie Hartman guest hosts for Dennis… Some California teens are suing the EPA. The students claim that a fossil fuel free world is their Constitutional right. The danger is that some woke judge might take these silly young people seriously. It is California, after all.  Julie reads out the titles of prize-winning Harvard essays. No fiction writer could make them up; they’re that ridiculous… Julie...

Dennis and Julie examine the similarities and differences of Christianity and Judaism.  There is a symbiotic relationship… and a necessity for both.  Judaism is particular to a people and a land… and Christianity is universal, meaning not particular to any land or race.  Judaism needs the universality of Christianity… and Christianity needs to be rooted in Judaism. Music: Straight to the Point c 2...

Dennis and Julie discuss compartmentalizing.  Some topics are holiday dinner wreckers: politics, religion, and family issues.  Manners certainly matter… some people just cannot read the room or control themselves.  There are two types of unhappy people, and unhappy people who want others to be unhappy – narcissism.  How rare a commodity is self-awareness?  Take for instance the slow driver is the...

Hamas is never mentioned in her piece. Only Israel is to blame.  Were you ever di...

As a result, he was able to have an excellent dialogue with students… Graduate school applications now ask what you have done to promote the cause of “social justice.”…Elite university presidents can’t conclusively say that calling for the genocide of Jews constitutes “harassment.”  Men need women. And women need men. We shoul...

The Ethics committee did not recommend kicking him out, but the House — Democrats and Republicans...

Dennis is in St. Louis and asks Julie… why has being successful not gone to your head?  They spend time defining success versus accomplishment.  Many American kids when asked what they want to be when they grow up answer: famous.  Fame is wildly overrated… what matters is that you’ve touched people with good values.  They discuss the inversions in modern American society… we have privileged people...

The governor of Florida debated the governor of California last night. They drew a sharp contrast. DeSantis pounded the facts. Newsom slipped and slided around the truth.

Students at a Florida high school walk out of class in support of ending women’s sports. The moral rot starts young and runs deep… Catholic Women’s college decides to admit men (men who “identify” as women). The Left destroys one more institution.  Did you marry someone because you thought they would make you happy? Did you marry someone thinking you could make this person happy? People can make s...

If you can’t discern the clear moral difference between Israel and Hamas, you are one of those people… A leader in the 60’s Civil Rights movement would not be comfortable with today’s identity politics… The most important subject to study is history.  Miguel Cardona, the Secretary of Education, gets a famous Ronald Reagan quote completely backwards… Imam...
