Many years ago, I read a Sermon by Joseph Franks entitled “IT WAS EASIER FOR ISREAL TO ESCAPE EGYPT THAN IT WAS FOR EGYPT TO ESCAPE ISREAL” The point of the article was that it oftentimes is easier to escape physical oppression and yes even slavery—the Israelites were slaves of Pharaoh’s—than it is to escape […]
Since the November 3rd election, the left has become increasingly more afraid of Donald Trump. If the “fake media” reports were correct, we have come to the end of the Trump era in American politics and we are moving forward into the “Post Constitutional” era of governance. But here is what people like Nancy Pelosi […]
Thanks to our great President Donald Trump, the fake news media networks have been exposed as the scandalmongers and pamphleteers they really are. Since the beginning of our country, the press has looked upon the freedom they enjoy under the first amendment as a license to instigate and advocate partisan positions. This is exactly the […]
Cancel culture is alive and well in Idaho. It is hurtful and destructive and pathetic and cowardly. It starts in our schools and goes into every area of our lives. It says more about the hearts of those practicing it than it does about those being canceled. After practicing medicine in the military on active […]
“Must I put up with fraudulent measure, or the administration of the short weight bushel? Must I hold the man honest who measures with false scales and a bag of faked weights?” Micah: 10-11. In the Old Testament, the word corrupt is used as both an adjective and a verb. It can mean causing to […]
There seems to be one consistent flaw in the thinking of many liberals, particularly politicians, those in the media and academia. They fail in not only the ability to think critically but in their ability to apply what has been called derivational logic. They go from point A—the problem, to point B—the solution, without ever […]
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who […]
Since Nov. 3rd I have spent little time watching the media repeat their various narratives about the Political Covid-19 Agenda, their dismissive and uninquisitive reporting on the election fraud, or now Impeachment 2, 0. Nothing new. No original thinking by the press or on Fox or MSNBC or anywhere else. Talking points from the White […]
I have many times written with reverence about the teachers and coaches in my life who always seemed to inspire and motivate me. Almost any successful person I have known can point to specific moments and people that changed the course of their lives. The unintended consequences of the type 2 mitigation strategies that have […]
I am truly at a loss for words. I don’t know how to respond to Mike Simpson’s proposal to breach the lower 4 Snake River Dams Ice Harbor—Lower Monument—Little Goose and Lower Granite all in Washington State. He along with Washington’s Governor Inslee and two Democratic Senators Patty Murry and Marie Cantwell, want to use […]
Growing up I played baseball from Little League through Jr. and Senior League and one year of Legion ball. As we grew up through the system so did the umpires and the coaches. My father worked long and unusual hours and seldom got to watch a complete football or baseball game, but he attended every […]
Today I am a proud Catholic, but I grew up for the first 5 years of my life being raised in the Quaker home of my grandparents in Philadelphia. My Mom was a nurse assigned to the Navy and my father was deployed to Korea and later Japan during the Korean War. My grandmother had […]
