Act Justly

In the Old Testament Book of Micah there is a brief passage instructing man how to act.  It reads,  “Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.”   That is very simple and straightforward; but one might ask, what is justly?  Micah answered that question immediately prior to this instruction.  He wrote, “He has […]

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Recently Pope Francis was quoted as saying that those who deny climate change are stupid. I don’t deny climate change.  I believe the world is warming.  But the real question is what do we do about it?  I believe the current warming trend is cyclic and inevitable, and there may be little we can do […]

Pulverized Vinegar

As is true for many people of my years, my hearing has deteriorated.  I’m okay when conversing face to face with a person, but I have difficulty in a crowded room – especially with a person on my left.  I have a hearing aid but often fail to wear it. If I do not hear […]

Kristallnacht

In November 1938. not long after my 9th birthday, I saw a newsreel at the local cinema that pictured the results of Kristallnacht, “The night of Broken Glass”.  German Jews had been subjected to a night of terrorism in which their synagogues and shops had been vandalized all over their nation while the Nazi government […]

Fuzzy Math

Our Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen,  recently described an increase in national indebtedness from 32 trillion to 51 trillion as a reduction.  Only by using the Democrat Party’s fuzzy math formulation can one make that claim.  The debt is projected to rise almost 20 trillion by 2033, but the Democrats claim that this is […]

Donald Trump and Bill Barr

I’ve  always had a level of respect for Bill Barr, our Attorney General under Donald Trump.  I’ve always believed he and I are on the same side in defending Christendom against the raving hordes of progressive atheism. Nevertheless, in October 2020 I was terribly disappointed when Barr failed to confront an obvious lie by Joseph […]

A Century of Warfare

Introduction: Portions of this blog have been published before under different headings, but here I attempt to capture the whole history of the wars that shattered western civilization, beginning with the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 and ending with the conclusion of World War II. Its a sad tale of arrogance, folly, devastation and bloodshed. In […]

National Public Radio

National Public Radio (NPR) is an American non-profit media organization headquartered in Washington, DC. It serves as a national syndicator to a network of over 1,000  public radio stations in the United States. It differs from other non-profit membership media organizations in that it was established by an act of Congress and receives some of its funding from the […]

Doomsayers

Democrat Party spokespersons and some academics are predicting the end of democracy should former President Trump win in November.  At the same time, conservatives are forecasting the destruction of our nation should the progressives remain in control for another four years.  Both sides are describing the forthcoming general election as perhaps the most consequential event […]

The Legal Assault on Trump

Why do liberal/progressives rage against Donald Trump with such passion?  Their animosity appears to have destroyed their ability to think clearly.  When I listen to leftist pundits, I am astonished by how their hatred of Trump and his followers causes them to make absurd statements and take outlandish positions in order to bring our former […]
