There is an old story about members of various Roman Catholic orders arguing about which religious order was the greatest.  Finally, a member of a small, obscure order spoke up. “Well,” he said, “we might not have the scholarship of the Jesuits, or a reputation for piety like the Franciscans, but in humility, we’re tops.” […]

 Many people have strong feelings about Nixon.  Some hate him passionately as one who betrayed the trust of the American people.  Others forgive his crimes and errors and see him as one who accomplished much and suffered much in service to his nation.  These feelings about Nixon are often colored by one’s own ideological viewpoint.  […]

The Assassination of President John Kennedy in November 1963 is forever seared into to memories of those old enough to remember that time.  Years later that event remains the subject of controversy and conspiracy theories.  Olive Stone’s 1992 movie JFK did much to spread misinformation. Stone’s was a violent tale of conspiracy and corruption that […]

A few weeks ago, I posted a blog entitled “Could They Convict.”  In it I asked the question, “If you were put on trial for your Christian faith, would they have enough evidence to convict you?”  I posed it as a hypothetical question, but perhaps it’s no longer hypothetical.  Your time of trial may be […]

The mainstream  media called Trump a liar when he said that he had been spied on by Democrat operatives during the 2016 Presidential campaign and after his election.  Trump is no model of verisimilitude, but it now appears that he was absolutely correct about this.  Recent filings in the Durham investigation reveal that people working […]

I assume that everyone except the most evil persons among us is against violence toward women.  Recently there has been a push in Congress to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.  It had somehow been allowed to expire. I know nothing about the details of the legislation, and I certainly approve the sentiments being expressed.  […]

This academic year eighth-grade students at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Enfield, Connecticut were given an assignment that asked them to identify their favorite sex acts.  This idiotic assignment  is almost beyond belief or comprehension.  What business is it of an educator to know the sexual experiences and attitudes of their young students – […]

No!  Not anything more about elections.  I believe that you will find this post inoffensive and worth a few moments of your thoughts. How many of you struggle in the voting booth when you encounter a long list of candidates for various offices?  I consider myself a reasonably well-informed person, but I find it very […]

Locoweed I believe senior members of the Democrat Party have been ingesting something akin to locoweed.  Whereas locoweed’s toxic effects appear to be confined principally to cattle and horses, this noxious variant is having a profound effect on Democrat leaders, all of whom who are evidently consuming it in large quantities.  How else can we […]

My friend Norman recently forwarded me an article that helped put our Federal government’s financial dilemma in an understandable way.  I adjusted the numbers to more accurately reflect today’s typical household income, but the relationship between income, expenditures, and debt is dead-on. Let’s pretend that the Federal government is this American household.  These several figures […]
