Tomorrow, the Obama administration is supposed to announce its new plan, as drafted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to fulfill the President’s original election-year promises for fighting climate change. (Or, was it “global warming”?) The new standards will be finalized in June 2015, after everyone has had a year to react & respond. States […]
“[T]he world tells us that it will take our practical advice (of course, weighing it with other spiritual and moral therapies) as long as we stay away from the scandal of Christ and His atoning death for sinners.” — Dr. Michael Horton, author, editor, podcaster [5/31/2014, Prefatory notes: After publishing the original version of this […]
Today was another one of those days, blog-wise. I just could not get inspired to write on, like, anything. I already published a smaller piece yesterday, so I figured I would just do another small one tonight. But, nothing appealed to me. Then, I remembered Joseph Gervais. Yes, Joseph is another Facebook friend of mine, […]
The bill, recently approved by Connecticut’s General Assembly, was meant to reduce the sodium intake from beverages served to public school students. (Part of the national “fight against obesity”, of course.) An amendment disallows any drink with sodium added to it.

Unfortunately for 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman, she and a friend came “home” to that house, interrupting the intruders. I don’t know what happened to her friend, but Stephanie was beaten and bound with duct tape. Lockett shot her twice […]
Thanks to a video clip shown on liberal media (e.g., New York Times, “Media Matters”), a lot of people are up in arms (so to speak) about Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s latest public statements. In short, he has been accused of being racist and of claiming that Blacks were better off as slaves. It was […]
I have something different for you this Easter season. A real treat! A Facebook acquaintance of mine is Tom Graffagnino, Esq. (I added the “esquire” bit. Just sounded right.) Like me, Tom is a Bible-believing follower of Jesus Christ, who is also quite concerned about the moral decline (among other things) in this nation and […]
The following guest-post is from a young man trying to grow his essay-writing business. He contacted me and offered to research/write an original post on a topic of my choice. Since I had been meaning to return to the subject — well, some aspect of it, anyway — of commercial spaceflight, I decided to let […]
