  • If Lindsey Graham’s bill were to pass, it would cause an economic calamity

    While tariffs make wars more likely, embargoes make wars difficult to avoid. Senator Lindsey Graham’s Sanctioning Russia Act calls for 500-percent tariffs on dozens of countries and essentially amounts to an embargo. If this bill were to pass, it would cause an economic calamity on a scale never before seen in our country.
  • National debt troubles global financial markets

  • Does Josh Shapiro have a secrecy problem?
    When President Biden's health became a national concern, Shapiro had a front-row seat to the decline but kept quiet.

  • Is poverty better for you than wealth?
    Wealth brings a trap of self-centeredness with it, without you even realizing it has happened. Not that I have first-hand knowledge, that’s for sure.
  • The ugly truth about the 'Big Beautiful Bill'
    The CBO projects federal outlays will total $89.3 trillion across fiscal 2026-35. Much of the blame goes to pandemic spending, but lockdowns are long over. There’s nothing now to justify this abnormal level of government spending.

  • Globalizing Naziism
    It takes severe depravity, not to mention sheer stupidity, to believe that shooting an unarmed couple in the back as they stand at a crosswalk is somehow going to “Free Palestine,” which is what the cowardly killer yelled into the Washington night as he was led away by police.
  • A sermon on the Ascension
    You witness the Good News of Jesus by "being" the Good News Jesus gave us. The Good News is you forgiving. The Good News is you sacrificing to help another.

    This evening, as I am apt to do on Memorial Day, I took a ride not far from home to the Tranquility Community Church and Cemetery in Adams County, where my father has been resting since May 1989, and where I ultimately will rest nearby. The cemetery couldn't have looked better.

  • Memorial Day: For those of us who remain, our duty is not done
