    Offshore Trojan horses

    In addition to the very large subsidies paid for from ultra-high electricity bills, federal taxpayers will contribute about $65 billion via tax credits if the Biden administration’s offshore wind target is met. While the subsidies for individual projects may not seem outrageous, the commitment of money to subsidize offshore generation is about $870 for every member of the country’s population. This may be spread over 25 years, but it is a huge liability for one very small element of U.S. programs to support renewable energy.

    What’s next?
    No one could have predicted the events of the last 60 days in the 2024 presidential race. It once again reminds me of the spring of 1968 when President Johnson announced he wouldn’t run for re-election, and Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated.

    The crisis in the U.S. armed forces
    In August 2021, the world watched as American forces scrambled to evacuate Afghanistan as the Taliban reclaimed power. The panicked withdrawal reached a tragic climax on Aug. 26, when 13 American service members (and more than 100 Afghan civilians) were killed by a suicide bomber in the Kabul airport, where security was a U.S. responsibility.

    Would the party of ‘real freedom’ stand up?
    A look at Democrats’ record of heavy-handed rule shows their claims of “real freedom” are a mirage to distract from their real goal of using government force to make Americans comply with their agenda.

    'Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot'
    While foster care is aimed to be a temporary solution to aid families in crisis, many children cannot return to their homes. Across the nation, there are around 100,000 children who are waiting to be adopted. Angel Studios’s latest film, “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot,” sheds light on the challenges these brave children face and the courage of foster families who work to provide them with safe and loving homes.

    Law enforcement collapse masks rising crime rates
    Americans in many parts of the country see that products at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart stores are behind plexiglass, that you must call a clerk to unlock the glass and then wait while you read and examine the different packages. People know these companies have no choice. Americans know that crime is rising, but the true collapse in law enforcement, particularly in large cities, is without precedent.

    Judging good and evil
    I read a set of phrases the other day I wish I could claim as my own: “If Donald Trump is so evil, didn’t he have four years already to be evil? If the Democrats are so good, they have been in charge for 12 of the last 16 years, haven’t they had time to do all the good they say they can?”

    America surrendered in Afghanistan
    We left behind $7 billion worth of weapons and equipment. We stranded thousands of American citizens, and discarded many thousands more of our Afghan allies. Thirteen American service members were killed at Abbey Gate. The chaos and abandonment surrounding our final flight from Afghanistan overshadowed many individual acts of heroism.

    A sermon on Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23
    Integrity is a virtue that simply means "to do the right thing even when no one is looking." A wise person once said, "Do good things whether others notice or not. It’s the deeds that matter, not the size of your audience.”

    This election is a referendum on free speech
    Though the Court’s rulings leave an opportunity for future plaintiffs to more carefully link coercion to specific instances of censorship, unless Republicans win in November, government-encouraged censorship of conservatives will only get worse.
