Joseph and Mary were not homeless

Joseph and Mary’s Egyptian sojourn, carrying their young son with them, is not a fitting comparison to the plight of today’s Middle East “migrants” as they have been dubbed.

Medical serpents in symbol and practice

Have you ever considered why the medical arts are represented by snakes? Serpents, then, just to be polite. Having worked in the field of alternative medicine (in a concurrent career) the question hadn't really come up. But as the president-elect is expected to deliver on his promise to eradicate Obamacare, that a rod encircled by snakes symbolizes medicine is worth a look.

A generation degenerates; Education is the "core" to healing a nation

There is a choice to be made in order to reverse the soaring amorality that has essentially crippled our young people, leaving them with only feelings by which to judge criminal and ethical behavior. By universally embracing anything and everything without critically judging it, all standards of conduct disappear and a generation degenerates. History (if ever anyone would bother to read it) demonstrates what occurs if no limits are placed on social actions and interaction, which is why it is being addressed here.

“Ethicists” insist on fortune makeover for Trump

Demonstrating a lack of understanding of America’s founding principles, a murder (that’s a bunch of cackling crows, for those who don’t know) of philosophizing academics are recommending that President-elect Donald Trump divest himself of his fortune before taking office. Only ignorance of this nation’s founding could prompt individuals, who call themselves ethics experts, to make such a call.

Numbers game: rioters compose a fraction of Trump rallies

Putting things in proper perspective gives America the opportunity to examine the pathetically small numbers of criminals roaming the streets of our major cities purportedly in protest of a Trump presidency. Yes, the lawbreakers are destroying property, assaulting innocents and burning flags, but the depraved mobs make-up maybe 1% of the multitudes that crammed arenas to rally for Donald Trump.

SCOTUS matters for reasons that encompass, transcend abortion

Leading up to this election there is a dialogue occurring that jeopardizes the nature of America, and it's coming from both the left and the right. The analyses of who should pilot the nation has gotten so mired in duckweed that "thinkers" have thought themselves into rationalizing the unthinkable. The make-up of a new Supreme Court is what would mirror the survival or failure of the United States.

Voter fraud and inciting to riot--Clinton Foundation favorite funding projects

President Obama said that there's more chance of getting struck by lightning than voter fraud occurring in this presidential election. Is that so... Not according to the investigations that are taking place in counties across the United States. It is so, in fact, that voter fraud is entrenched in many precincts and has been a foregone conclusion in cities like Chicago for more than half a century. Too many of us recall the old "Daley Machine."

There are no heroes, folks

Selling access to the White House can do only one thing--backfire. History has proven beyond any measure of doubt that the more you auction off entrée to the seat of power, that very power weakens as each favor is fulfilled. It compromises power to the point of submission. By the time the office-holder (in this case, the president) has advertised that anyone with the price of admission can expect their request to be granted, respect has long gone. That price of admission is the price of power--yours, and you've sold it for a bowl of soup.

What is a committed Christian to do in this election?

There is no doubt that this minute voice from an independent Christian missionary, a woman, will encounter criticism for what follows. Eight years ago, a phenomenal legal researcher and I did everything in our power to unveil the Obama persona as a change artist whose concept of change was to dismantle our Founders’ legacy and the American dream.

Media, pols talk taxes without business ken

Wasted time in the debates, on air and in the press talking about the republican presidential candidate’s tax returns has made it obvious how much the media and politicians lack practical business experience.

Right to Farm--eating emotion

Increasingly, city-dwellers seeking view lots or large acreage have been fleeing the metropolitan areas to build larger and even luxurious homes in rural America, often opposite agricultural operations. Once they'd invested in constructing homes and settled into their new digs, they were awakened to the realities of country living, including the sights, smells and sounds of working farms... and they didn't like it.

Racism or racialism

The war of semantics has overshadowed the rising tempers among special interest minority groups. In an effort to diffuse or whitewash (look it up if you're inclined to infer racist overtones) the growing divide between communities in the United States, talking heads have come up with another 'softening' term for plain old racism.

Using minorities as progressive pawns

Blocking the nation’s best interest by manipulating minority populations is a progressive tactic. LGBT, BlackLivesMatter and, unfortunately, tribal members are finding themselves at the center of media storms engineered by the media.

Clinton learned charitable giving from George Soros

Clinton Foundation corruption runs deep in access peddling, its management absorbing lessons by sitting at the feet of a master manipulator.

Who picks up the check for the wall?

Before the race-baiters and social justifiers rail against the concept of a protected border, be reminded that Congress passed legislation authorizing building the "wall" back in 2006. What average Americans decried was the fact that they didn't bother to fund it. Funding the wall that is already approved is a central issue in this election cycle, not the concept of erecting one along our southern border.

Is there a tax rebellion coming?

Solomon wrote that there is nothing new under the sun. He was on to something. The king of greatest wisdom and wealth (estimated between $100-$7350 Billion by today's standards) ever to reign, who built one of the wonders of the ancient world, understood the corruption that emotionalism could bring about.

Tearing down your home for, uh, revenge

Mob politics spur the growing rage against people of color. No, this is not a misstatement. It describes the current rash of riots in Milwaukee, Wisconsin over the death of a black suspect brandishing a gun at a black officer who delivered the fatal shot.

Treason, #Arkancide bloat the Clinton fortune, invalidate presidential bid

Inflammatory headline? Perhaps. At least until the facts are considered on their merits and not on the general media's sugarcoating. One of the greatest hurdles American voters are confronting is media avoiding the landmines of the democrat nominee's fringe criminality and outright lawbreaking by focusing attention on the myth of a strong Obama economy and Hillary Clinton's support of these policies.

Erdogan demonstrates one way to remake a country; progressives prefer vote fraud

The first clue the election season is underway is when the left begins swinging the gavel by challenging voter laws in every state that could pose a hurdle for democrat candidates. In some cases legal objections are brought up in republican states where true conservatives are under pressure by RINO opposition.

Dems set victimhood criteria – most lives don't matter

By the time Hillary Clinton accepted the democrat nomination for President of the United States, the party's concept of what constitutes a victim had finished undergoing some thorough redesign. It’s taken decades, but words like ‘race,’ ‘slavery,’ ‘privilege,’ ‘rights,' ‘equity,’ ‘education’ and the most bandied about ‘healthcare,’ now have different application.
