Posted by on September 12, 2021 at 6:07 pm

“Never forget.” — various The following is the better part of an email from Kay C. James, President of The Heritage Foundation, as she reflects on what happened on and as a result of 9/11/2001: “Every American felt the crippling anguish deep in our souls as we realized our nation was under attack and as […]

I confess, I’m not familiar with the “Drive Thru History” channel on YouTube. But, I heard about this, and it is a very good (roughly 1 hour) documentary on the tragic, historic events of 9/11/2001. “Through incredible video footage and narration, this special walks through the events of 9/11, highlighting stories of terrorism and heroism, […]

“Did you not see the radical, destructive, anti-Christian policy decisions he would make?” — Michael Brown The following is an edited-down version of a column by Christian theologian, apologist, and radio host Dr. Michael Brown. I largely agree with Brown’s position and his frustration with the incredulity of pro-life evangelicals who voted for Joe Biden. […]

Soft Bigotry in Oregon

Posted by on August 28, 2021 at 8:37 pm

When Oregon’s governor, Kate Brown (D), signed Senate Bill 744 into law on July 14, there was no bill-signing ceremony, plus she waited 15 days to slip the new law into Oregon’s legislative database. Why? She probably knew it was a bad idea, and critics would rip her a new one. And rightly so… The […]

Unreasonable and Non-Centrist Infrastructure Compromise

Posted by on August 15, 2021 at 5:06 pm

The battle over infrastructure bills and what actually, fairly constitutes “infrastructure” continues. I wrote about this back in April when the $2.25 trillion bill was in play. The current $1.1 trillion federal infrastructure bill is being sold as a reasonable, centrist compromise. Yeah… right! (sarc) Here are a few quotes from an opinion-piece by Kay […]

The More You Study Marxism…

The following insightful remarks are from Dr. Owen Strachan, Provost and Research Professor of Theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary. I’m not certain, but they may be excerpted either from Strachan’s latest book, Christianity and Wokeness, or an upcoming one.

“Why do these conservative politicians think the words ‘radical socialist agenda’ still scare anyone in a time when the state can tell us whether we can have Aunt Mabel over for Christmas? They are completely out of touch.” — Mark Steyn, author & columnist Sometimes ya just gotta wonder what the D.C. politicians are thinking, […]

No New Funding for IRS

Posted by on July 18, 2021 at 6:17 pm

No need to set this up, really. Here is a quote you may have missed from a piece by Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform: “Congress should not increase funding for the IRS. Not $40 billion more, as a ‘bipartisan’ group of senators demands. Not $80 billion more, as Biden and the Democrat […]

‘Lived Experience’ and the Prison of Tribes Thinking

Posted by on July 11, 2021 at 8:29 pm

“To see every interaction as containing hidden violence is to become a permanent victim, because if all you are is a nail, everything looks like a hammer.” — Conor Barnes, former radical Even before the extreme radicalization and push for “social justice”, Critical Race Theory and its kin, etc., of recent years, I observed more […]
