“I would transition from the oil industry, yes.” — presidential candidate Joe Biden In the last presidential debate, Joe Biden not only said he was in favor of banning fracking on federal lands (though insists he would not institute an overall ban) but that he wants to shut down the oil industry because it “pollutes […]
We have all heard the claims and warnings — some quite hysterical — that our use of fossil fuels is recklessly irresponsible and immoral. If we don’t make dramatic changes ASAP, the end of civilization will be upon us in mere decades, if not just a few years. But, this is nothing new. Since at […]
Once again, All Hallows’ Eve is fast approaching, and jack o’lanterns, costumes, and trick-or-treating for candy become the topics of much conversation, particularly when children are involved. But, Christian parents (and some others) have to weigh serious concerns about occultic themes, etc., versus their children’s enjoyment and inclusion in Halloween activities. Not letting your child […]
The Black Lives Matter movement is an incredibly divisive movement with corrosive values (and I’m not talking about holding brutal and racist cops accountable), and Critical Race Theory is its driving force. We need to be aware of what they really are, so we can better defend against them. With that in mind, I wanted […]

A more imposing judicial power was never constituted by any people.” — Alexis de Tocqueville As promised, President Trump has announced his nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the […]
A “paleoartist” is someone who creates original art that is supposed to visually represent prehistoric life. Ever wonder how paleoartists know what dinosaurs and such looked like? Well, it begins with various bits of scientific evidence — primarily from the size and structure of the skeleton — that inform the illustrations. This has improved over […]

This approach is manifest by such things as forced diversity and characters & plots pushing LGBT+, feminist attitudes, and other “social justice” talking points. The result has been widely-negative […]

She has been described as an uber-militant activist against racism and gentrification. […]
“If I gave away everything that I have today, it would not equal 1% of what I was given when I came to this great country of ours: the gift of freedom.” — Maximo Alvarez I know some people don’t watch the national party conventions. Personally, I didn’t watch the Democrat one at all and […]
Last week, I briefly discussed what I thought were shortcomings of the currently-available choices for side-by-side (aka “parallel”) Bibles. I then introduced two hypothetical combinations of four translations each that appealed to me, and which I would like to see in hard-copy editions. I cited Matt. 6:9-13 (i.e., the Lord’s Prayer, aka “Our Father”) as […]
