Common terms, like conservative and liberal, with traditional meanings may not mean the same things today. Still, there are definitions of conservative even the liberals have to accept because they are unchanging. Just as some want to abandon the term conservative, many Christians wanted to stop using the term “born again” that was popularized by […]
Someone has defined education as “that which is done to prepare a child for life”. If that is truly the definition, then our schools are doing a terrible job. Many kids graduate from school believing somehow that the world owes them a living; that they have a right to a good income, whether they happen […]
America was founded by religious Christians who believed the Bible and followed it in their daily lives. We have gradually reached the point where Christianity has no place in public discourse. American culture is gradually being destroyed by left wing socialist ideas, and a foreign invasion that is working against everything that we hold dear. […]
81 years ago, today Japan attacked our navy at Pearl Harbor. Thousands of servicemen lost their lives. Even today there are somewhat wild theories as to why Japan did so. I just read in the paper that Congress has passed a law that prevents the railroads from striking. A railroad strike would have been devastating, […]
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 […]
A preliminary Supreme Court opinion was leaked to the press on May 2, 2022, and the opinion was formally announced on June 24. 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 […]
