The South Dakota Department of Transportation is advising motorists that newly installed traffic signals in Rapid City, Black Hawk, and Belle Fourche use the new flashing yellow arrow as part of the signal systems. A flashing yellow arrow means left turns are permitted, but drivers must first yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before proceeding with caution. The system replaces the solid green “ball” indication as a signal for motorists to proceed through an intersection.

In this age of relativism, tolerance, and inclusion, Christ’s claims of absolutism and exclusivity make many uncomfortable. It is deemed to be grossly offensive, even hateful, to assert that there is only one way to God. Acknowledging Jesus as a sage, even a martyr, is a convenient way of co-opting Christian moral philosophy while skirting the pesky “way, truth, and life” issue. But Jesus won’t allow us to have it both ways. Christ did not come to earth merely to usher in a new morality.

The American Family Association’s (AFA) constituents may prove that the decision by Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz to support homosexual marriage as a core value of the company’s mission, may have everything to do with economics, and nothing at all to do with diversity. Not if diversity means everyone. At the annual shareholder’s meeting last week, Schultz insulted Christians throughout the country by suggesting they buy stocks in other businesses if they do not agree with his position on homosexual marriage.

At a time when the courts are increasingly giving deference to the police and prioritizing security over civil liberties, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Millbrook v. United States is a glimmer of hope in a sea of gloom. This ruling should not be overlooked—not only for what it says about the need to hold law enforcement officials accountable to abiding by the law, but more importantly for what it says about the extent to which the government has given itself free rein to abuse the law, immune from reproach.

Americans have always had a special place in their hearts for a good hustle, though we never admit to being victims ourselves. This is how hustlers get away with it. After all, who wants others to know they’ve been conned? So, everyone talks himself into thinking he’s made a rational decision and is doing precisely what he wants to do. This is how the homosexual lobby and their “useful idiots” are hustling America.

Well, isn’t this just swell?! The Washington Times reported on Monday that Saudi Arabian “religious authorities” have, in all their boundless benevolence, decreed that women may now ride bicycles! Of course, there are some “common-sense” restrictions. We can look at stories like this out of the Middle East and shake our heads at the gut-wrenching tyranny Islam imposes on its pawn followers, and yet, right here in America, we are watching a creeping invasion of Islamism.

Have our manners of disrespect and apathy become so ingrained that we now accept the disloyalty of nine mortals in black robes? Similar to those nine jurists, we also possess all the various human tendencies which tease at our weaknesses of temptation, jealousy and greed. Yet, are we so dismissive of our American bedrock that we become resigned to their Constitutional contradictions? And just when did our Founding Fathers reassign legislation’s authority from Congress to nine fallible individuals; or more to the point, from a constitutional republic to an oligarchy?
