  • The carbon bureaucracy nobody voted for

    The United States has every right to develop and adopt transparent, scientifically grounded emissions reporting standards through its own democratic processes. What it should refuse is the laundering of activist policy preferences through international standards bodies designed to make those preferences look technical and inevitable.
  • As we end this week, are we better than last?
    Artemis II was kicked off around 2017 and carries a tab of $4 billion. The California high-speed rail project was kicked off around 1996, has not laid one foot of track yet, and is now estimated to cost $126 billion. Obviously, if they have not laid any track, they have not carried any passengers.
  • Welfare loophole that lets millionaires get food stamps
    Rob Undersander is a millionaire. He also received taxpayer-funded food stamps. His story illustrates an absurd – and intentional – loophole in America’s welfare system that taxpayers need closed immediately.
  • The case against public-sector unions
    America’s public-sector unions have a problem they can’t explain away: Workers are leaving.
  • Elephants only sleep two hours a night
    Alas, elephants' amazingly efficient sleep schedule is likely unique to them, not something humans could adopt through scientific means.
  • A sermon on John 20:19-31
    Jesus gives you Peace through His wounds. He wants you to know He understands what you are going through. Jesus wants you to believe He never turns a deaf ear to your cries for help.
  • Back-burner the sad, and concentrate on the good stuff 
    Your deliberate choices do matter. You actually can find beauty and contentment in the middle of ugliness and difficulty. But only if you begin each day determined that you will find some tiny bit of good in your circumstances. Then focus on that.
  • The ideological parallels between ISIS and the IRGC
    This war with the IRGC cannot be viewed as a conventional war between states. It is, at its core, a conflict with an ideological system that places revolutionary survival and doctrinal legacy above national interests, economic stability, or the lives of its citizens. Understanding this distinction is essential for policymakers and analysts seeking to mobilize the international community to stand with the Iranian people in ending the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps's grip on power in Iran.
  • How Iran put the world in a straitjacket
    Iran does not need to defeat the United States militarily to exert power over it. It only needs to remind the world that it can squeeze that narrow passage whenever it chooses. The militant mullahs know full well they can punch above their weight by leveraging the global oil market to their advantage.
  • Tippy, Chapter 14
    The chicken and I got together by the truck scrap pile behind Corky’s. The chicken spoke first.
  • Just how should a U.S. president address a global terrorist?
    Pray tell how an American president ought to address a hostile regime of global terrorists? Bow down? Surrender? Transfer $1.7 billion in cash as a former POTUS gave Iran in 2016? Wait for the terrorist to have a launch-ready nuke aimed at our allies? Or worse, us?
  • Daffodils
    She loved them, and yellow was her favorite color. Every spring she would decorate her wide brimmed straw hat with newly cut daffodils. She'd carefully sew them on so the thread was hidden.
  • When you always want your own way
    You want your way. And that is normal. But getting others to want to do what you are asking? Sometimes that’s just not very easy. Forcing them usually doesn’t make you a winner. 
  • If Washington wants lower gas prices, it should get out of the way
    In Alaska, one of our nation's most energy-rich regions, the Small Business Administration (SBA) is foolishly disrupting companies that support oil and gas production. Recent actions targeting Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs) are interfering with contracts essential to energy development in the region.
  • Easter reveals the true cost of discipleship
    Easter is a time to remember Christ’s sacrifice and His victory over sin, Satan, and death. He poured out His life so that we might partake of Him and be made like Him. That process requires obedience, faithfulness, and self-denial.
  • A sermon for Easter – John 20:1-18
    The spiritual eyes of faith shows you that Jesus does not abandon you in your time of need. Faith opens your eyes to see Jesus by your side whether you're on the mountain top of joy or the valley of sorrow.
