  • 50 plus 50 can equal 0

    There will be times in life when one spouse will have to give more, other times that spouse will need to be given more. But that is the way a good marriage works. 
  • Rep. Chip Roy calls out San Antonio DA for reckless bail policies
    Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) this week called out San Antonio District Attorney Joe Gonzales for supporting soft on crime bail policies after two San Antonio police officers were shot and another was injured. The alleged perpetrator is a repeat offender who, prior to the incident, had been released from jail on bond despite having a violent past.
  • Albert Camus and the crisis of the West
    Writing less than a decade after the end of World War II, Camus strikingly offers the Nuremberg Trials as a witness to our crisis. The ideological strains on Germany in the ‘30s were not unique to that country, he thought, but a feature of Western civilization.
  • Beach bar balladeer's music, stories live on
    One of my favorite Jimmy Buffett quotes is “If there’s a heaven for me, I’m sure it has a beach attached.” And now it has a new leader of the band. For the rest of us, his music and stories live on.
  • Senators demand answers after Biden sends $6 billion to Iran
    U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) recently joined Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, and 24 of her Republican colleagues in demanding answers from the Biden Administration regarding the approximately $6 billion of ransom money reportedly released to Iran in exchange for American prisoners.
  • Rivada's OuterNet will change communication forever
    The Rivada system is gateway-less. Instead of beaming your communications straight back to a ground station, the whole constellation is interconnected with optical laser links. That means that if there’s a satellite above, you can get connected.
  • Turbulence: Republicans demand records of Hunter Biden’s Air Force Two travel
    Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have requested that the National Archives turn over all documents and flight manifests regarding trips that Hunter Biden took on Air Force Two, as well as Marine Two, during his father’s time as vice president. It is the latest in the ongoing probe of how the younger Biden made millions of dollars overseas and whether his father, the current president, improperly benefited from those dealings.
  • ChatGPT topples Joe Biden’s ‘House of Cards’
    Bribery, money laundering, obstruction of justice, tax evasion and more. Of course, the Democratic Party and their allies in the mainstream media tell a different story. To get a sense of the beatification of Biden, I turned to the new voice of liberalism, ChatGPT, to compare the fictional Frank Underwood and our real-life president.
  • Docs offer glimpse inside Censorship Industrial Complex
    Welcome to the Censorship Industrial Complex. It’s rather like the old “military industrial complex,” which was shorthand for the military, private companies, and academia working together to achieve U.S. battlefield dominance, with the R&D funded by the government that buys the final product.
  • Expansion of drug price controls will harm medical innovation
    Enacting more price controls – before the first ones have even taken effect – would do far more harm than good to American patients and the future of medicine.
  • Great crisis of our time
    Technology is method without meaning, process without purpose. The technologist will ultimately lose to the ideologues, the anarchists. I think you see this most clearly in the elite universities. Look at any liberal arts program and ask what is the basis for objective truth – the professor will laugh in your face.
  • DOJ: Leave the politics to Congress
    Political weaponization of the law by the DOJ and prosecutors is exactly what blind lady justice should avoid. Such a path opens a pandora’s box of “what’s next.” Donald Trump is appreciated by some and despised by others, but in his case, the motive of the “D.C. Swamp” is to neutralize his presidential candidacy.
  • Veterans History Project 
    There are a number of days in August that are important in military history and recognize the service and sacrifice of our heroes in uniform – from remembrances of V-J Day and recognition of Purple Heart recipients, to learning about the role of Navajo Code Talkers.
  • First GOP debate a real sleeper
    Any candidate who compares the near-loss of his cat and his Corvette in a kitchen flare-up nearly two decades ago to 115 Lahaina dead, including infants and more than 388 unaccounted for two weeks after the Maui fires, is not a guy Democrats should consider endorsing again.
  • History and education in those Highland County hills of yore, Part 11 
    We were chatting about the life and times of the Rev. Joseph McDowell Mathews, a pioneer of education in Highland County in the 1800s. The good Reverend founded the Oakland Female Seminary in Hillsborough in 1839 and was a stalwart in education for the next couple of decades. He left Oakland to take a position as president of the Hillsborough Female College. He spent roughly four years as the college’s president, but he wasn’t seeing the success he’d seen at Oakland. 
  • Woke U.S. diplomacy not popular around the globe – nor at home
    The Biden administration is fraying relations with some allies and generating pushback from Congress by spending millions of taxpayer dollars to promote the woke ideology abroad that has stirred controversy at home since President Biden took office.
