We are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – nothing more

Saturday, November 28, 2020 9:12 AM

I think the word “entitled” stirs up so much ill will and bad feelings among people, societies and nations that we should ban it and the concepts it stands for. It is a word that came into widespread use in the 20th century.

From GHW Bush, to praying for our next leader

Friday, November 20, 2020 7:32 AM

As a nation, we may be divorced from one another, but our Christian duty is to pray for one another. You might want to remember this column when I, your humble columnist, get excited about politics in our country. Despite my passion, I need to remember the words of Peter, and you may need to remind me of them.
The last presidential election

I will not be a sheep for the corrupt left-wing crowd that manipulated the “election” just past. If it looks like this will continue in the future, the best thing to do is not participate; for by participating, one adds an air of legitimacy to what is going on.

Grover Cleveland redux?

Thursday, November 5, 2020 4:39 PM

There are many other things Trump can do when unleashed from the Oval Office. Trump can run again in 2024. After all, even then he will be a few months younger than Biden is now. Grover Cleveland is the only president thus far to serve two non-consecutive terms, 1885-89 and 1893-97. There is no reason Trump cannot do this.
Last chance

Saturday, October 31, 2020 9:31 AM

In our rush to assure we don’t discriminate due to all the things in the modern world that are identified as discriminatory, we have forgotten the thoughts of Socrates. But corporate social media and the mainstream press have not forgotten. They have capitalized on it. In fact, the Left has gone so far as to be totally inclusive, bringing non-citizens, the dead and the duplicates registered in multiple voting precincts into the voting booth.

What’s keeping you up at night?

Friday, October 23, 2020 8:55 AM

If you haven’t voted already, it’s time to get personal. What is keeping you up at night? What are your worries that fall into the areas that government can do something about them? When you figure that out, you’ll know which way to vote.

The most important events of 2020

Monday, October 19, 2020 6:24 AM

We are at a serious place when it comes to the amendments that are there for our rights and our protection. I hope, in the brief time that is left, you look carefully at the choices on Nov. 3 where you live and then vote to protect your rights and your freedoms. We lose these freedoms and there is nothing else to talk about.

Executive Order 9981

Tuesday, October 13, 2020 7:49 AM

Right now, we have a president who is as tough as old Harry Truman, as verbally intimidating as my World War II colonel and as resilient as my swift boat captain. Like the other three, many don’t like him, but he has been consistent through the storms of nearly four years and been delivering the medicine we need.

How much do you agree with law and order?

Friday, October 2, 2020 6:30 PM

One of the favorite convention cities in this country was Seattle (this was about 25 years ago). In those days, invariably, one of the cautions in the prework packet for attendees went like this (not an exact quote): “Be especially careful and avoid jaywalking or walking across the street against the light here in Seattle. There is a no-tolerance policy, and you will likely get a ticket from your friendly police officer.” I liked this.

Protecting the environment, coast to coast

Thursday, September 24, 2020 7:15 PM

You are going to have to hang with me on this one – we’ll be figuratively flying around the country. While the country is focused on the presidential election, a replacement judge for the Supreme Court, Covid-19 and social justice, coastal state legislatures this week decided more important matters were at hand.
