Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have been influenced by some incredible leaders. Teachers Coaches, professors, Captains of Navy Ships, a Catholic Priest. None of them were very popular with the people they were leading at the time, but 20-30 years later they are remembered with reverence. When I graduated from college, a […]
I am a Catholic Laymen. I have never been trained formally in Catholic Apologetics. I read the Bible and Catechism and discuss theological issues with my Catholic Priest stepbrother who lives currently in Sardinia. There is no question in our minds that Evangelical and Catholic Churches have been singled out by progressive activists. The response […]
Social justice today is commonly defined by progressive liberals and their socialist-communist brothers and sisters in academia, the media and in the bureaucratic swamps of Washington DC and our State capitals as ‘JUSTICE IN TERMS OF REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH, OPERTUNITY AND PRIVLEGES”. The long history of social justice in Western and Judeo Christian traditions presents […]
When Idaho was still a territory and was applying for Statehood many people in the State wanted Idaho to be known as the ‘PIONEER STATE”. Many Idahoans I know are direct descendants of the early pioneers. The 1st patient I ever attended to in Idaho was a 91-year-old lady. I asked her if she was […]
There is a sign in the Army locker room at West Point with a quote from General George Marshall in WWII. It says, “I want an officer for a secret and dangerous mission. I want a West Point football player.” Ideals like duty and virtue are no longer talked about in educational circles today. Critical […]
Humans can hear sound in the frequency range of 20 – 20,000 Hz vibrations per minute. There are, of course, sounds above and below the levels that we can hear. Radio frequencies are between 20 kHz – 30 GHz — much higher vibrations. Like listening to the radio, oftentimes adjacent frequencies can blur the frequencies […]
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 […]
