Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson is cancelling an order for a $31,000 dining set for his office, according to a statement obtained by CNN. “I was as surprised as anyone to find out that a $31,000 dining set had been ordered,” the statement from Carson read. “I made it known that I was not happy about the prices being charged and that my preference would be to find something more reasonable.” The mahogany dining set in question included a “table, sideb
In a statement that is sure to rankle evangelicals, Ben Carson said this week that he does not believe in a literal hell.
“I don’t believe there is a physical place where people go and are tormented. No. I don’t believe that,” he told the Washington Post’s Sally Quinn.
But Dr. Russell Moore, president of the influential Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, said he’s not shocked that Carson doesn’t hold to certain evangelical beliefs like the Rapture and a physical place
What does “a real black President” mean?
When media mogul Rupert Murdoch tweeted about his fondness for Dr. Ben Carson and his wife Candy Wednesday night, musing “What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide?” he reignited a remarkably complicated, difficult question that might speak volumes about progress Americans have or haven’t made in the past eight years – and possibly the next four.

The second Republican debate, a three-hour affair that veered from sophomoric insults to policy to late-night silliness, ended after 11 p.m. Wednesday, with an outsider candidate — former tech executive Carly Fiorina — challenging front-runner Donald Trump in a way few rivals have.
Fiorina, who hadn’t even been on the main stage for the August debate, jabbed Trump for his insults of her appearance, and for his record as a businessman. She pointed out that Trump had lost money in his famous At
The black man courting crowds of white conservatives doesn’t seem like the same guy that H. Westley Phillips once idolized. Phillips still relishes the day he heard Ben Carson inspire minority students at Yale University with his story of persistence. He can still feel the nervous anticipation he had while waiting in line to shake Carson’s hand.
After the speech, Phillips followed Carson’s path and began to study neurosurgery.
