    A Change has Come

    I unashamedly confess to never being prouder -- or more surprised -- than I was Tuesday when voters overwhelmingly rejected four more soul-deadening years of evil. I had all but given up on the grand American experiment in self-governance. But tod...

    More media lies

    During the VP debate, one of the smug TV “news” moderators insisted: “Scientists are saying that climate change is making hurricanes larger, stronger, and more deadly.”  Wrong. Just flat 100% wrong. An actual scie...

    Bottom line for the vice presidential debate

    Bottom line time: No one was persuaded by Tuesday’s debate to desire that Tim Walz become president. There’s one overriding issue when it comes to supporting a vice presidential candidate: is this a person we want to become president? ...

    Panic setting in among Kamala’s handlers?

    Thursday (09-12-24), we learned that an anonymous ABC whistleblower plans to reveal this weekend how the network rigged the Trump-Harris presidential debate by giving Harris the questions in advance and assuring her that only Trump would be...

    Is There Election Fraud or Not?

    One of the most revealing memes on the internet asks: “If the Biden-Harris administration has done such a great job, why does Kamala Harris promise that if elected, she will fix everything on Day 1?” If everything’s swell, why do...

    Biden’s determined to stick around

    As I have asked for almost four years, who’s gonna tell the president of the United States he’s done? “Guess what: they’re trying to push me out of the race. Well, let me say this as clearly as I can: I’m staying...

    Not whether to get rid of Joe, but how

    Joe Biden self-destructed on stage and national TV this past week.  If you didn’t watch it, you’ll be fed it in bitter video bites for as long as Joe remains in the White House. The much more important point this morning: Dem...

    A Christian in the dirty world of politics

    Some Christian believers say we don't need to know how the world works its evil ways.  This monkish tendency to withdraw from the world is dangerous, particularly as we enter one of the most ferocious of worldly seasons — presiden...

    Two sobering observations after Memorial Day

    It should have been a happy Memorial Day as a nation takes time to express gratitude for the freedoms our U.S. military personnel died in battle to preserve. For their sacrifice, we honor and mourn them.  We are only one generation from ...

    The disastrous woke trend in Biden's military puts Americans at grave risk

    What's the cost of losing your grip on reality? Or is there no difference between relying on the Wokish alternative of confused pronouns and cross dressers rather than old-fashioned sweat and intellect? Back in the day, every reporter knew imm...

    The more government there is, the more problems we have

    Have you noticed that the more government there is, the more problems we have? The government claims jurisdiction over everything you do.  Yet prosecutors refuse to prosecute violent criminals, and judges increasingly refuse to sentence ...

    For Christians, the aberrant are fallen sinners, like the rest of us.

    Shamefully, the rest of us have too long and too often encouraged aberrant behavior such as homosexuality, transsexuality, baby abortion, adultery, fornication and even God-denying with a wink-and-a-nod. That so-called “compassionate” mis...

    My COVID confrontation with my doctor

    We had breakfast together this morning, so I had an opportunity to tell several brothers from church how grateful I am that I finally saw my doctor, after intentionally avoiding him for three years because of COVID.  After a Christmas visit...

    A new COVID scare?

    Most of the world is finally climbing out of the gulag cocoons that "the authorities" and "experts" created to silence dissent during the COVID scare campaign. Are you beginning to feel a bit less oppressed?  Are you ...

    The speech Americans need to hear

    What does it mean when our enemies' words sound as though they should be uttered by our leaders, and our leaders' policies seem like the fruits of our enemies? How long has it been since a leader in our government has said something like t...

    The Russian example

    The United States is looking a lot like a Russian rerun from the '90s.  And it's not a sitcom. I'm reading David Satter's The Less You Know, the Better You Sleep: Russia's Road to Terror and Dictatorship under Ye...

    Good News and Bad News about Our Age of Lies

    I've got good news and bad.  I'd apologize for the bad except we all need to know it.  It's better to temporarily discourage people with the truth than to lie to give them false hope.  Lies have limited shelf...

    Choppy waters for the USA, and who is leading us?

    Andrea Widburg's frightening column on China hiding nukes in hundreds, if not thousands, of shipping containers crisscrossing the Earth's oceans is enough to give the coolest among us a case of the willies. It's not a fantasy...

    The Problem of Trust

    If you don’t trust a merchant, will you do business with him? If you don’t trust a lawyer, would you rely on his advice? If you distrust a doctor, would you let him operate on you? Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas said out loud wh...

    What 'Moving On' Has Cost Us

    This is the real difference between Donald Trump and the political establishment, whether Republican or Democrat. The esteemed “conservative” Wall Street Journal editorial board has called on Wisconsin authorities to ignore a preliminary ...

    A split decision on the COVID vax

    The Supreme Court lopsidedly shot down the Biden administration's clearly unconstitutional workplace requirement that 80 million Americans must receive hypodermic needle injections, ostensibly to "protect" against COVID, even if they do...

    COVID hysteria is so yesterday

    You may have read that the tide is turning.  I wrote that just the other day and was pleased so many of y'all wrote me to cheer about it. When do we know that COVID hysteria has become so yesterday?  Maybe when es...

    Is the tide finally turning?

    Roe and the right to life

    Whether the Supreme Court ends abortion or dramatically restricts its practice, or leaves Roe v. Wade unchanged, there is one certainty.  It is not a tough constitutional question. It is, of course, the thorniest of political q...

    How crazy do things have to get before we reach the tipping point?

    Doesn't it seem that our world finally has reached the tipping point? Euthanasia facilities in Germany now won't help you kill yourself unless you're vaccinated.  Let that sink in.  It's apparently wrong to...

    Leaving California

    I ran into an old California buddy online Sunday.  He asked me why I moved to Texas. We didn't have a lot of time, so I gave him the shortest explanation I could: "It's not California." For the ten or so friends, all...

    How did we get here? Can this mess be fixed?

    We have entered a dark age.  Truth, not always abundantly obvious, has been increasingly shrouded thanks to the growing cynicism and polarization of our day.  The condition is getting worse by the day. What to believe? ...

    Medical tyranny for you and your loved ones

    The medical establishment and federal government are lawless tyrants who are resolved to do what they damn well want to do, irrespective of court orders, medical research, or the will of the people. They use all their powers and powers they don...

    The Wall Street Journal rebukes Fauci for lying

    Dr. Anthony Fauci's prevarications have become so numerous, wide-ranging, and convoluted that it's next to impossible to know what, if anything, can be believed coming from his lips.  He's the living, lying embodiment of Aesop...

    Evil is real, and we're seeing more than than usual from our own government

    It’s astonishing that this must even be said. We are deeply immersed in a monumental battle of good versus evil. God warns people about evil. It is real, He says. It is not just a difference of opinion. It is the opposite of good. It is harm...

    A COVID guessing game

    What if every excuse for vaccinating every living person against COVID-19 is wrong?  If so, how should that change things? Let's play what if. What if the long-term harm to children being vaccinated is unknown? It is. What if the...

    Stand-by for the Real Insurrection… by the Democrats

    The No Confidence Administration

    How the Left Redefines Normality

    It is so obvious that even before Christ brought me to Himself, I realized abortion advocates had arrogantly redefined “baby” to justify committing murder. Babies in the womb became “a clump of cells.” They obviously were d...

    How Should a Christian Support Trump?

    Trump's End Game

    Why is anyone surprised at the Democrats cheating on the vote count?
