THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN: ECCLESIASTES 1:9 While the above phrase was written over 2,000 years ago, the author of Ecclesiastes composed one of the most profound truisms in history.

Isn’t that what the polls say? Democrats and the mainstream media constantly quote polls reporting that Donald Trump is “the most unpopular president ever.” Funny how this “unpopular president” just keeps winning and winning and winning. 5-0. 100% winning. Undefeated. Perfect. That’s this “unpopular” president’s record in special Congressional elections since his November upset victory. That’s Trump’s […]
Skeptics prevail We realize there is an enormous amount of skepticism out there on the validity of using medical marijuana, but the more research that is done, the more we have to respect the findings of the researchers.

An anonymous, […]
