Persecution

Christianity is under attack even in many countries considered nominally Christian..  Prepare yourself for persecution.  Nowhere is this danger more evident than in Western Europe.  Paivi Rasanen  has been a member of Finland’s Parliament for 27 years.  She is being tried in a Finnish court for tweeting a Bible verse and publishing a small pamphlet […]

The Great Disruptor

The most amazing thing about Donald Trump is his ability to stir up such intense dislike and hatred among his political opponents.   He is the great disruptor, a focus for their enmity. Their disapprobation also extends to his supporters, those whom Hillary Clinton referred to as “deplorables.” FBI agent Peter Strzok, in a communication with […]

Gender Madness

According to World News Daily, on July 25,  2022, the Department of Health and Human Services announced a new rule that would force insurance providers to pay for breast removal and other transgender surgeries, including such surgery for minors. The Biden administration has evidently decided to go all-in on transgender surgery for children.  Their efforts […]

The Clouds

Have you ever encountered someone so brilliant and erudite that you feared making a comment in their presence for fear of appearing stupid.  In my life I have met only two persons like that, one in college and one at my old place of work. Charles Schultz expressed that feeling very well in an old […]

Reform Congress

I always understood that the two chambers of the United States Congress control their own rules of procedure. Normally a question of Constitutionality is not involved.  This being so, why can’t leaders in the House and Senate change their rules to improve the legislative process?  For example, why not make it a rule that no […]

The Birdfeeder

My son Harold told me of visiting a shop in Lake Lure, North Carolina, last week and seeing an amusing plaque.  It pictured a squirrel saying “Pardon me.  I don’t wish to disturb you, but your birdfeeder’s empty.” As one who has two very busy birdfeeders in his back yard, I thought it quite funny.

An Apostle for Truth

Liz Cheney is being portrayed as an apostle for truth by some in the media.  Even Democrats who formerly despised her speak glowingly of her bravery and self-sacrifice as she stood up to big, bad Trump. I’m not among her admirers.  If she honestly believes that the former President is a threat to Democracy I […]

By the Back Door

How does the Federal government intrude itself into so much of our lives?  If one reads the Constitution, it would appear that Washington’s role is severely limited, but Congress and the bureaucracy have managed to extend their tentacles of control in ways not foreseen by our founding fathers. One way they achieve this is by […]

Bring Out the Lanterns

Diogenes of Athens is perhaps best known for carrying a lighted lantern in the daytime and saying that he was looking for an honest man. Pundits on every side of every issue are screaming at us with their version of the truth.  Liz Cheney tells us that Donald Trump is a threat to the republic.  […]
