  • Will Democrats stand up to their party’s anti-Israel bigotry?
    There are a few courageous Democrats willing to buck the prevailing tide in their party. Two bright lights, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer, are willing to tell the complex truth about the world’s only nation-state of the Jewish people. Hopefully, others will arise.

  • Communism – it’s back
    Overcoming the left’s whataboutism and snarky dismissal of resurgent communism requires inner strength, but it is essential that those who believe in America promote truth, win elections, and prosecute criminals.  The alternative is that communism will continue to gain traction, and that would be a disaster.
  • A sermon on Matthew 14:13-21

    The more than 1,000 pages of diary entries made public by Sen. Paul Rand, R-Ky., show inconsistencies between Fauci’s public assertions and what he was thinking privately. Early 2020 entries show the lab leak theory was considered plausible very early on while Fauci publicly pushed the natural origin theory.
  • Sen. Kennedy questions Intel proposal to build chip production plant in Ireland
    The Department of Commerce gave Intel $8.9 billion cash in return for 10% of the company. Well, here’s why I think Intel might have rinky-doo’d us.

  • Dog days
    No doubt tomorrow will once again be hot and humid in the creek valley and Sirius will once again be overhead in the predawn dark, no longer hidden by the daylight, and by afternoon you'll be sure to find me, sitting with my bare feet in the creek, enjoying these dog days of summer.
