I decided my schedule was shorter than the shelter’s. I need to heal up some but get out of this place at once.

The government should always aim to support responsible citizens, not stand in their way. When we remove and reduce bureaucratic hurdles, we can unleash our economy and create a marketplace where more goods are accessible and affordable for everyone.

God shows no partiality. He values everyone. He offers His love to everyone. God said in Romans 5:8, "God showed how much he loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful."

As a dear and departed legal friend and adviser liked to ask me about such arrangements: Does it pass the smell test? It does not. Local taxpayers with good memories may recall similar arrangements with public officials and public contracts. We already plowed that ground, so I won't go over it again.

Renewed dedication to Western civilization in multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and transcontinental America and among Europe’s diverse nation-states depends on putting freedom first. This does not deny Western civilization’s biblical roots and faith’s sustaining role. Rather, it recognizes that in our secular age basic rights and fundamental freedoms, rooted in religion and reason, provide the common denominator binding the peoples and nations of the West.

In our nation of laws, no adult should have the right to make anonymous accusations that are then made public. We should have learned that important lesson from the McCarthyism of the 1950s, but we obviously haven’t.

The first day of spring is just a few weeks away. Long lists of all the things that I will need to do fly about, crashing against the sides of my mind.

The American people and our safety should not be used as political leverage. I guess Senator Schumer and his allies do not care – once again. In fact, they seem to be so consumed by their hatred of President Trump that they would rather manufacture chaos than provide certainty to the very workforce that safeguards our nation every day.

For deterrence to work, the nation needs credible, demonstrated defensive capabilities to defend against credible threats. Golden Dome for America is about building that deterrence to protect Americans in their Homeland.

No one asked me to say this, but if we can afford to build bicycle pathways everywhere, we can afford to make the roads safer for buggies.

The experts RCI spoke with said a tally of just what taxpayers have provided the EV industry should be made, but agreed that no one has successfully done so. Just how much of this spending could be wasted in an industry that has enjoyed government support remains to be seen. But if some of the projects fail, the $500 million lost on Solyndra, which created a scandal at the time, will seem like small beer.

China controls over 90 percent of the world’s rare-earth materials foundational to America’s military readiness, economic leadership, and national security. That near-monopoly puts the United States and its allies at a serious, and growing, disadvantage.

Democrats, if Trump offends you so deeply, why do you consistently imitate his worst behavior? At times, it’s as though you’re trying to out-Trump the man. He’s vulgar? Great, we’ll be even more vulgar.

Electricity is not a luxury. It is a necessity that underpins economic growth, public safety, and household stability. Ensuring its affordability requires more than promises. It requires policies that encourage efficient investment, allocate risk appropriately, and maintain reliability.

I wonder how I will react when I see God in all His Divine Glory. The Bible records what happened when Peter, James and John saw light shining from the earthly body of Jesus. They collapsed. I will lay prostrate on the ground, too afraid to look at His radiant light. Then Jesus will tell me to "Rise and do not be afraid."
