The climate change crowd may or may not intend to undermine farmers and food production, but it is an obvious result. Displacing farmland with solar panels and “rewilding” fertile pastures to grow trees for carbon sequestration reduces available agricultural acreage.

Another episode of the reality television series, “Schumer Shutdown,” just dropped. Senate Republican Leader John Thune offered an exchange.

Today is not a mystery but rather a continuation of the greed that captures the human heart. Its latest alias, globalization, is today’s “must-have” need. Its destructive quality, however, while masked by the terms of innovation and equality, is only a fancier brand of imagery that clouds our future destruction. On a lesser scale, that … Read more

I still treasure wisdom from an old-time gospel song planted in my mind as a child: What is a mother’s love, dear friend, what is a mother’s love? It’s deeper than the deep blue sea and reaches from heaven above.” Many years ago, my life was powerfully impacted by the eternal truth that “the hand … 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.

Back in August, Kamala Harris had suggested that she wasn’t going to run for President again in 2028. She told Stephen Colbert as much on not-quite-live television.

Abortion … Read more
