Reining in federal land ownership--a drop in the bucket

Hypocrites on the right – convicting without a trial

There is a problem here. Republican office holders and so-called conservative pundits are all jumping on the bandwagon to convict Judge Roy Moore based on their northeastern customs. Yes, this includes all the Fox personalities televising their holier-than-thou judgments out of New York Central along with the D.C. swamp.

Christians: armed and willing

Motive behind the devastating massacre of the faithful at a small Southern Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas is immaterial. The assumption that Christians are easy targets is not.

Rinos take leave while Dems double-down on impeachment

Pressure from the base is finally breaking loose the staid RINO watch. Moments before writing this, Senator Jeff Flake announced that he will not seek re-election for his Arizona seat. Following in the footsteps of Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, establishment republicans are vacating the Capitol before they're tossed out by a Steve Bannon inspired challenge.

Coffee klatch to SCOTUS – LGBT bashes Christians

Marginalizing Christianity is reaching epic proportions as LGBT, in particular, threatens believers in business and in church. Taking the discrimination to new levels beyond targeting businesses to provide service that force owners to defy the tenets of their faith, when the shoe is on the other foot LGBT business owners flatly refuse all service. For clarification – these two responses to providing service are not equal.

Rationalization versus Justification

One after another, the left continues to stand firm encouraging bad behavior by making excuses for it. Problem? Not only is it coming from the Hollywood elite as in Harvey Weinstein's inconsistent attorney backpedaling for his abhorrent sexual harassment but even the FBI is lending cover to violence.

Violence of undermining the family

Removing a child's chance to enjoy childhood, the one time in life where there's no responsibility to be shouldered for the woes of the world, is ever the agenda of the left. Children are targets of indoctrination from the time they enter preschool.

Left illogic: man caused Irma so fire-up electricity for cars

Every day the left comes up with another mind-bending theory to throw against the wall and there’s always someone who buys into it without checking manufacturer instructions. For 72 hours it’d been that President Trump is the cause of the horrific hurricanes Harvey and Irma, plus José that still pummeled the Caribbean. Not that this is a new concept. President George W. Bush was blamed for Katrina and the fact that it was a racist hurricane.

Seven years in transit(ion)

Today is the seventh anniversary of surrendering to an unanticipated call on my life – that of selling off most everything, packing what was left into the back of the truck and leaving what had become my home… for?

Limiting access to language, water and air in Harvey's aftermath

As much as these issues may appear to be unrelated, it's time the parallel was examined. When we look at the devastation of Harvey, blowing in and out, up and down the Gulf Coast, water is not just overwhelming neighborhoods, it is an abundant commodity (that's how government views this essential of life).

From eclipse to the apocalyptic

The following may be a shock to urban centrists who think everything revolves around large population centers. For some reason beyond my ken, I seem to end up in the epicenter of cultural change and, in some instances, chaos.

Violence erupts when misguided youth swallow rewritten history

As much as the usual suspects--left-leaning press, politicians and professors--are quick to blame every ill in society on all people with light-toned skin, the irrational head-bashing that occurred in the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia Saturday will continue.

Again, libs have it wrong on low skill immigrants

As soon as President Trump and Senators Cotton and Perdue finished their brief introduction of the RAISE Act, the blowback from liberals reached gale force.

Who is raising the next generation?

In light of President Trump's advocacy of Western values at the G-20, hard questions must be asked of our current would-be parents, those of childbearing age.

UK NHS wants "equality enshrined in law" for transgender, but not Charlie Gard?

Disavowing God's handiwork in order to remake Mankind (irony intended), United Kingdom's National Health Service is well on its way to transplanting wombs into men so they may have the blessed experience of giving birth.

Facebook the ‘new church?’ Social media can never replace true community

We have a real problem when a virtual social order imagines itself to be able to take the place of human contact. The embodiment of living in a fantasy world, social media promotes existence on a level of reality that is fanciful.

Terror rocks Britain but State deports Christians, EU sanctions East Europe

Depending on who happens to wield the weapon of choice (be it gun, knife, bomb or motor vehicle) there seems to be a real dispute regarding the label's application. Officials sit on their hands before calling it terrorism when it comes to dozens and hundreds (Paris 11/13/15) of Christians, conservatives, concert-goers or baseball fans losing life and limb.

Russian honeymoon connection--Sanders-inspired Capitol 'baseball shooter'

There may be another definition of 'Sandinista,' members of the socialist Nicaraguan party who deposed Anastasio Somoza in the 1979 coup--that is, a follower of Vermont's favorite son, Bernie Sanders. Tongue-in-cheek as this may sound in light of the devastating Alexandria, VA shooting that has left Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana in critical condition, the contact was real. Sanders went out of his way to attend the Sandinista regime's sixth anniversary in the architypal banana republic.

Paris Accord – another carbon credit scheme

“What would happen if He charged you for the air that you breathe and you couldn’t afford to pay for it?”¹

Liberal racists incite violence on campus, public transit & public forum

Appalled to watch belligerent mobs at The Evergreen State College and then read about the American Friends Service Committee sponsoring an anti-Israel forum in Washington, D.C., these issues have become personal.
