There was a funeral service for Mollie Tibbetts on Sunday.

It's possible you missed it. Her name wasn't a trending topic on Twitter, as it was when news broke that the missing Iowa college student's body was found, and that the man charged with killing her might have entered the country illegally.

Sunday's service received few, if any, tweets ...Read more

I'll always remember where I was when I learned that truth isn't truth: on a luxurious white-sand beach in Bali rubbing suntan lotion on my six-pack abs, flanked by my four Pulitzer Prize statues and the mobile Dairy Queen that accompanies me everywhere.

Our country's stance has been rendered clear: If you're Muslim, you're not welcome here. Period.
