(HT: Pundit Press) Warning: This debate occurred in 1965. James Baldwin uses an objectionable word that was more freely used then to describe American Blacks, which is forbidden today.
As a follow up to my recent interview with Stella Morabito I thought that this clip illustrates some important realities that we discussed. Joe Klein and Jeff Greenfield have impeccable mainstream media credentials. Klein writes for Time. Greenfield is perhaps best known . . . Continue reading →

Authorities have determined that the Bernardo fire was the result of construction. One of the fires at Camp Pendleton was the result of a burning semi-trailer. The Las Pulgas fire (Camp Pendleton) has grown to 8,000 acres. The causes of the other . . . Continue reading →
The Escondido Fire Dept. is battling a two-alarm structure fire at Calvary Assembly Church, in central Escondido. It’s a little suspicious that this fire should start now. It’s warm and winds have died down. It’s still very dry (6% humidity) but . . . Continue reading →
In 2007, in an earlier version of the Heidelblog, I posted this photo of (now) San Diego Fire Capt. Danny Miranda. He’s served as a deacon in the Oceanside URC and today he’s one of many firefighters from across Southern California who . . . Continue reading →

As the sun has begun to set, the winds have calmed, and air tankers are flying overhead almost constantly now. Cal Fire has shifted their concentration from a fire to the south. They are picking up fire retardant at the Ramona airport . . . Continue reading →

Wes Bredenhof, pastor of Providence Canadian Reformed Church (Hamilton, ON) has published a helpful post. Here is part of it: We distinguish between the administration of the covenant of grace in this era and administrations of the covenant of grace in previous . . . Continue reading →
Dear Pithius, Our dear boy, you quite misunderstand the problem. So long as Christians continue to understand the Book to contain truths, claims about the way things really are, about the enemy, about Him-who-ought-not-be-named, about His Paraclete, about humans as contracting with . . .
