  • Iran was existential threat

    Any serious student of the Middle East knows that an unrestrained Iran is not just an imminent threat; it is an existential threat. Not just to Israel or the United States, but to any country that does not follow its fundamentalist Shi’ite philosophy.
  • Why the Strait of Hormuz may be a feature, not a flaw

  • Tippy, Chapter 12
    The chicken and I had another meeting. I’ll call it a strategic meeting. We had certainly met through the winter, but those had been quick, tactical meetings, planning no further than one day ahead.
  • A keeper
    Soon we'll be riding our zero-turns, but this too can wait. Today my spring chore is working alongside Greg in his shop.

  • Democrats are gambling with our lives by not funding DHS
    My Democratic colleagues have opposed President Donald Trump’s agenda at every turn, and that’s their right. But their decision to shut down the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) isn’t some harmless act of political gamesmanship; it’s incredibly dangerous.
  • FBI misled court to spy on second Trump campaign adviser
    Civil-rights watchdogs have called the egregious spying violations against Carter Page the worst abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act since it was enacted more than 45 years ago. Now another U.S. citizen may have been subjected to even worse abuses.

  • Republicans fight to end Democrats’ DHS shutdown; Dems have 'blood on their hands'
    Democrats need to listen to President Obama’s Secretary of Homeland Security. His name is Jeh Johnson. Johnson had a warning this weekend for the Democrats. He said, ‘If ever there was a time we needed to fund the Department of Homeland Security, it’s right now.’ This is the statement of a Democrat. He ran this Department for Barack Obama. Now he is telling Democrats on this floor to fund all of it.

  • Democrats' shutdown jeopardizing national security
    The safety of the Americans should not be used as a political bargaining chip.
  • A new way to measure U.S. energy security
    Without effective oversight and policy action, America runs the risk of again placing our fundamental energy security in the hands of foreign actors beyond our democratic reach and control as we have in the past.
  • The terror threat Americans aren’t supposed to discuss
    March alone saw multiple terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims. In Austin, a terrorist wore a sweatshirt reading “Property of Allah” during an attack. In New York City, bomb throwers shouted “Allahu Akbar” while throwing a homemade shrapnel bomb. 
  • Raising of Lazarus: John 11:1-45
    What is the glory of God? It is God bringing Light out of our darkness, giving meaning to things in life that seem meaningless, to bring hope when you are tempted to despair, and to believe God will bring goodness out of your worst crosses.
