I recently read an interesting article in the Range Magazine for Winter 2022, Bits and Spurs pp 26-27. The author, Robb Kendrick, says that he worked for National Geographic for 32 years. I am sure it is evident that if someone has worked for National Geographic for 32 years, they are probably not predisposed to […]
Elections have consequences and the election just past is no exception. There have been a few dramatic wins, but also some heartbreaking losses. America is in serious trouble today, and I believe that was made clear by the recent election. Candidates that should have won by dramatic margins actually lost. Americans have a tendency to […]
Proverbs 22:5 tells us: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” I am sure we have all experienced times with certain of our children when they wanted to do things that were foolish. Things like running into the street or standing by […]
Inflation is defined as an increase in the money supply. Inflation can also be caused by an increase in the rate in which money is spent. The president or Congress can budget more money for certain projects, or to help those suffering loss due to the recent pandemic. But this does not affect prices until […]

The opinion was 5-4 (6-3 including Chief Justice John Roberts’ Concurring Opinion) The Court held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority […]
Rain! Rain all day and all night. And cloudy weather for weeks on end. When the sun does not shine there is no power from solar panels. And, often when it is quite cold there is little wind to run the wind turbines. I have often thought that within the present administration there surely must […]
Anyone not aware of the trucker convoy in Canada must have spent the past week hiding under a log. The convoy left Vancouver, Canada headed to Ottawa, the capital of Canada. The truckers arrived last weekend. The truckers hope to be able to visit with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and to convince the government to […]
When I worked at the Bunker Hill Mine in Kellogg, Idaho, most of my associates were Democrats—good Americans. They were family men, hard-working, clean living and reasonable. I don’t recognize them anymore. During the Trump Administration, immigration was under control, we were producing more energy than we needed, and America was bouncing back after the […]
Of all the issues facing us as a nation president Biden has made fighting climate change number one; more important than fighting terrorism, national security, international relations or anything else. The theory is that because of man generated carbon dioxide the earth is warming and it will reach a “tipping point” and the earth will […]
Have you ever heard anyone say that 97% of scientists agree that man is the chief cause of global warming and that this warming is going to end in disaster? Actually, less than 1% happen to agree on the cause of climate change! Donald Trump chose Myron Ebell last September to head up the transition […]
Right now there is a lot of discussion about Obamacare, or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. No one seems to be asking if this is the proper role of government. (The bill was huge, and Congresswoman Pelosi said that we had to pass it so we could find out what was in it. Now […]
Although the House Education Committee voted to approve new science standards for public schools, it rejected five paragraphs pertaining to climate change.
