  • Scared spitless? Join the crowd

    Forcing myself out of bed, I have a choice of things to worry about from a buffet of disasters; the people ravaged by Hurricane Helene, the entire state of Florida that, even as I am writing, face Milton the Monster, and a presidential election that is threatening to engulf our entire nation in an internal war against ourselves. 
  • Our out-of-control federal law enforcement agencies
    In March of this year, Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Ark., was killed by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) during a pre-dawn raid of his home. How and why did this killing take place?
  • The perils of ignoring the obvious
    People talk about so called black-swan events, unforeseen and unpredictable, but all those attacks could be foreseen – if one just looked at capabilities, incentives, and historical patterns of behavior. Sometimes the only surprising question is why they didn’t happen sooner.
  • Citizen Nation: An intimate look at students and teachers
    By highlighting the dedication, grace and civic-mindedness of these remarkable educators, Citizen Nation offers a subtle commentary on the recent attacks on history and civics teachers and the need for more programs like We the People that engage students in meaningful discussions about our democracy.
  • Biden-Harris administration slow-walks Helene response
    There have been all sorts of excuses and denials by FEMA, Biden and Harris concerning the devastation wrought by Helene on Sept. 26-27.
  • A sermon on Mark 10:17-30
    Jesus challenges you to dump your false gods. What are the idols that become more important than God? Is there anything that takes the place of God in your life?
  • A year that will live in infamy
    A year on from Hamas’ barbaric attack on Israel, it is clear that the United States remains shocked and surprised. The Biden administration has shown no sign of grasping strategic reality. Washington faces a world crisis as intense as that of the late 1930s and early 1940s.
  • Highland County voters: It's time to renew the Children Services levy
    It's time to pass this much-needed levy. If there is sufficient charity in Highland County – and I know from experience there is – this levy will pass on Nov. 5. Early voting for the Tuesday, Nov. 5 general election begins Tuesday, Oct. 8. Tomorrow. Please vote.
  • Untapped relief: FEMA sitting on billions of unused disaster funds
    While FEMA is expected to ask Congress for new money, budget experts note a surprising fact: FEMA is currently sitting on untapped reserves appropriated for past disasters stretching back decades. 
  • Standing with Israel
    Today marks one year since Hamas terrorists unleashed a barbaric, unprovoked attack against Israel. We must not forget the atrocities committed on Oct. 7, 2023. Hamas terrorists raped women and kidnapped over 200 people. 1,195 innocents were brutally murdered, including 40 American citizens.
  • Bully prevention campaigns help kids and adults
    October is National Bullying Prevention Month, increasing awareness about bullying and prevention programs designed to help kids and adults. Anti-bullying campaigns help communities and individuals within them create supportive and safe schools, organizations, family units, and neighborhoods.  
  • The Osage orange
    It is that Osage orange time of year. Many, many years ago I remember that there was an Osage orange tree in the backyard of the children’s nursery school. Generations of children had climbed its scraggly limbs until the bark wore smooth. 
  • Will Kamala Harris let the Trump tax cuts expire?
    Harris and Democrats still need to answer a fundamental question: Will they allow the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to expire and inflict multitrillion-dollar tax hikes on the middle class?
  • Let’s change the rules
    We have reached a point where the people suffering the pain (taxpayers) are being ignored for the benefit of all others. Time to swing the pendulum back the other way. We can’t take it any  longer.
  • Kamala Harris’s Israel sophistry
    Harris appears unconcerned about how Israel would survive a nuclear Iran and a ring of Iranian proxies. But for the risk of damaging her evangelical and Jewish support, Harris would simply adopt the progressive policy prescription: to hell with Israel.
  • Nondisclosure: COVID vaccine ad blitz sidestepped transparency rules
    The evocative 2021 television spot was funded by Pfizer just as the pharmaceutical giant was rolling out its COVID-19 vaccine. The spot may have seemed like any other pharmaceutical advertisement. But there was something missing. The ad, and many others like it financed by vaccine manufacturers, did not include any of the typical disclaimers about risks associated with vaccines, nor any disclosures that they had not yet received Food and Drug Administration approval.
