The contrast between Donald Trump and Joe Biden on energy policy is a study in antitheses. Trump’s rallying cry of “drill, baby, drill,” encapsulates a vision of “energy dominance” that is unapologetically ambitious, unabashedly pro-development, and unmistakably American.

Next time a Democrat lectures us about Trump ending democracy, or whines that Trump may seek to punish lawless prosecutors, let’s remember the crimes Hunter and Joe committed, Hunter’s insolence, the highly politicized Biden Justice Department, the lies Joe told before issuing the pardon, and the lies he told to justify it.

The best way for you to prepare to meet Jesus is to "love the unlovable" like Jesus did. There are so many people that have no self-worth, believing themselves not worthy of God's love nor deserving of love from anyone. 

This may seem like a strange recollection for the dark days of December. However, my favorite astrological day of the year is coming soon – Dec. 21, the shortest day of the year.  It is all brightness and renewal after this, just like the Jonquils that thrive in the elements and are not beat down by the winter. The 21st, followed by the 25th, gives this old soul hope.

The United States needs a national security strategy reset. WWII ended 79 years ago, and the U.S. has engaged in some form of conflict for roughly 61 of those 79 years.

There is no greater friend to the United States in the Middle East than Israel, our longtime ally and partner. The bond between our countries has frequently been tested, yet it is stronger than ever and must remain so.

Beef production delivers billions of dollars to our economy every year. It’s also essential to our national security. But today, the “Beef State” way of life is under threat. Once again, anti-agriculture activists have taken over a federal entity to impose a radical, anti-beef agenda on the country. We must reject this unscientific approach.

If for no other reason than that it will elicit fear in the hearts of autocracy-phobics, I propose that Donald Trump’s second-term Cabinet be known as “The Wild Bunch.” The name is best known as the title of Sam Peckinpah’s classic 1969 western.

We drove to town the through the upland fields. I was surprised to see three gray ducks hunkered down in the grass by the side of the road. I imagined they were heading south to warmer weather. I thought of my father.

Washington’s out-of-control spending put our nation $36 trillion in debt. With another $3 billion being added every day just to pay for the interest, the longer we delay tackling the problem, the further away the finish line gets.

Many see Advent as a time to wait for the Christmas celebrations. The parties, the drinking, the food, the presents. This is the world's view of Advent, which is opposite of what God wants you to do. Advent is not a waiting, but a coming. Jesus is coming back. He said in Rev. 22:12, “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done."

The gender ideology madness has to stop, both for the protection and privacy of women and girls, and for the long-term health of the rising generation.

Trump Administration must make clear to Putin that his nuclear threats are unavailing both operationally and strategically. Soviet experiments long ago showed that troops cannot advance through a nuclear battlefield, thus negating the operational advantages of such use.

I wish each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. May you be reminded of the many blessings in your lives, and may you enjoy a special day surrounded by loved ones.

Thanksgiving offers us an annual opportunity to acknowledge and reflect on our blessings.
