Did anyone really think that bringing a tribal culture to a strange land, mixed with government incompetence and a blind eye, would have a favorable ending? Our government may have the best of intentions, but it rarely thinks things through, and God forbid it looks at past results. We have a history of intervening in … Read more
We need to keep our eye on the ball and not be distracted by the number of Socialists elected to office in this most current election. While we are debating whether Zohran Mamdani is now the Mayor of New York City or whether Katie Wilson managed to win the mayoral race in Seattle, we have … Read more
We love Maine and have a year-round home in Central Maine that we spend half our time in. We have an incredible circle of friends and have found a church that has become a big part of our lives. Maine is blessed with location and natural resources: a beautiful rocky coast, majestic mountains for hiking … Read more
Well, I never envisioned when I started to chronicle my journey to remission that I would be pushing 50 chapters. I was hoping for the six-part mini-series, and not months of Law and Order. As I have said many times, this challenge is out of my hands, and either God is unhappy with me, or … Read more
I have written many articles about Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) since he ran for office in 2022. I was very critical of the people of Pennsylvania electing Fetterman to the Senate over Dr. Oz, who seemed the superior candidate. Fetterman came across as an eccentric individual who did not speak well, refused to dress the … Read more
Veterans’ Day has been a day of conflict for me for many years. My Dad, and undoubtedly many of his friends and cousins, walked into a recruitment office and volunteered to serve their country to go to Europe or the South Pacific to fight the Germans or Japanese, who posed a threat to the free … Read more
First, Nancy Pelosi realized that she was done years ago, but it just dawned on her that she should take her ill-gotten gains and retire before she is investigated. Nancy will not be seeking reelection in 2026. Then, in a beautiful game of 3D chess, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries thought they had the Republicans … Read more
Cory Booker (D-NJ) might be the only Democrat disappointed in the death of the Senate filibuster. Only the dramatic showman, like Booker, who loved the marathon speaking sessions he employed under the current filibuster rules. He rightly may be a party of one, as you would be hard pressed to find anyone in the Senate … Read more
Americans are used to a fast pace. We are basically an impatient breed and expect instantaneous results from a plan, or think the effort is a failure. Look at inflation as an example. It took Biden a couple of years to drive the overall cost of living to historic highs, yet Trump was deemed a … Read more
Tuesday could be the first day of the decline of New York City, and it will be at the hands of the voters of New York. New York City, and Minneapolis, too, are about to elect Socialist mayors. Both candidates are running under the party banner with a cryptic name, such as the Democratic Socialists … Read more
Everyone except the Democrats is frustrated by the Senate impasse that is keeping our government shut down. This situation is not one where negotiation will lead to a resolution. This is a situation where the Democrats are holding pay and benefits from the American people in the hopes that the pain will force the Republicans … Read more
It is a widely accepted opinion that the radical left wing of the Democratic Party is manipulating the government shutdown. This does not mean that you will see them at the podium dictating terms to end the shutdown, but it does mean that the left wing is terrorizing the pillars of the Party and forcing … Read more
I have found this recent government shutdown to be the most frustrating period in all my years of following politics. This current shutdown is not a situation that can be negotiated, for what the Democrats want is not open to discussion by the Republicans. The Democrats believe they have the leverage in this tug-of-war, and … Read more
It was not that long ago that pro sports, and college sports, too, would not be caught in the same conversation with gambling at any level. The fear of gambling jeopardizing the integrity of the sport was so great that Las Vegas was considered off limits as a home of any sports franchise. Vegas now … Read more
The long-awaited and much-anticipated No Kings day of protest is behind us, and alas, it must have worked, for we had no king on Friday and still have none on Monday. I truly enjoyed the interviews with some of the protesters. They were so excited to have the attention of a microphone and camera, until … Read more
Oh, Hakeem, you have lost the war when you resort to tearing into one of the Trump administration’s most popular people. We do not even have to look at his personal attack as a man going after a woman, because Karoline can hold her own against any man or woman who dares to challenge her … Read more
Day after day, we are faced with the faces of the Democrats and their daily rant against the world, or more specifically, Donald Trump. Gavin Newsom, Jasmine Crockett, JB Pritzker, Zohran Mamdani, and Katie Porter are making us long for the days of Sandy Cortez and Rashida Tlaib. This new wave of Democrats continues to … Read more
According to Google and AI, “Blessed are the peacemakers” is a biblical quote from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:9, meaning that those who actively work to create peace will be called the children of God. This is distinct from being a “peacekeeper,” who merely maintains a fragile status quo. Peacemakers actively resolve conflict by bringing … Read more
JB Pritzker is no longer just the Governor of Illinois; he is also the first undeclared candidate for President in 2028. Pritzker will not be running as a Democrat, as the Democratic Party has ceased to exist. He will be the first presidential candidate to run as a member of the Anti-Trump Party. The Anti-Trump … Read more
There are very few issues in Washington that warrant extensive discussion. Most issues fall into the 70/30 basket, or even the 90/10. Transgender rights for children is an example of overwhelming support to ban medical or surgical interventions for children under the age of 18. However, it is still argued ad nauseam by some. Abortion … Read more
