“This effort, along with the recent executive orders on federal unions, are the biggest pieces so far of our plan to drain the swamp.

By the direction of @POTUS, we released a plan to make government more effective, efficient and accountable to better serve the American […]

I am on record as being frustrated with current Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI), in that sometimes he does things I can get behind, even wholeheartedly applaud, while other times he does things that leave me wondering “What the #&*(! is he thinking?!” Ryan was not my first (or second or third) choice […]

“[The goal of the book] was to give a snapshot of the state of the conversation about origins among evangelical Christians in America…. I think readers will see fair and accurate representations of the four positions.”  — J.B. Stump, general editor of Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design and Senior Editor at BioLogos […]

“People know my views on the Iran deal. It was a terrible deal. It should have never ever been made. It’s insane. It’s ridiculous.”  — President Donald Trump When the leaders of the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and China signed onto the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in July 2015, many […]

“The future is going to be amazing, and we should be optimistic that as a free people we can lead the world into that future – just as we led the world with new developments in cars, airplanes, computers and the Internet.”  — Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and unabashed […]

“The exercise seems aimed primarily at avoiding contact with antiquated beliefs, racist language, and sexist assumptions.”  — Thomas D.
