An email from a constituent and professing Christian last week helped crystallize my understanding of a view of civil government and politics that is being touted by an increasing number of professing Christians. When thoughtfully considered, it amounts to what could be called nothing less than “Christian” polytheism. The email said this: “Do we want the Legislature enforcing our faith-based […]

Earlier this week, the King County Board of Health voted to enact regulations aimed at hindering, if not shutting down, pro-life pregnancy centers in the county.  The 10 – 1 vote took place after hours of testimony in defense of the Centers’ work and thousands of emails and phone calls urging the Board not to take this action.  Below, Joseph Backholm, […]

For 10 Years the economy has gone down the toilet but government related positions, such as health care and public offices grew… as a matter of fact government related positions was the only field growing but now, with all this faith in the new admin, there has been a surge in the American market again. Is it real or just […]

Though we have never met, I smiled recently seeing my favorite Walmart employee. For over ten years, I witnessed him gathering shopping carts in the parking lot. He is a white millennial who only has the use of one arm, walks with a severe limp and appears slightly mentally challenged. I once saw him leaving work driving a new looking […]

“Iran must be free. The dictatorship must be destroyed. Containment is appeasement and appeasement is surrender.” Thus does our Churchill, Newt Gingrich, dismiss, in dealing with Iran, the policy of containment crafted by George Kennan and pursued by nine U.S. presidents to bloodless victory in the Cold War. Why is containment surrender? “Because freedom is threatened everywhere so long as […]

Written by  Steve Byas During his successful bid for the White House, President Donald Trump gave hope to many Americans that he was going to — as he put it himself — “put America First” when it came to trade deals, including the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Trump called NAFTA “the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere, but certainly ever […]

Once in a while we just have to stand back in awe of our government.* The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever – 46 million people. Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to “Please Do Not Feed the Animals.” […]

If you think Obamacare is bad (and it is), Ryancare, Trumpcare, Obamacare 2.0–call it whatever you will–was even worse. In spite of fierce bullying tactics by House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and President Donald Trump, ONE MAN stood like a stonewall against it. He would not be bullied or bribed, and he almost single-handedly stopped this […]

By Ben Shapiro Expectations define behavior. The success of a marriage nearly always depends on the expectations of the parties going in. If you believe marriage is going to be a rose garden of happy trips to the beach interspersed with moonlight dinners and foot massages, you’re more likely to end up cheating on your spouse when that doesn’t materialize. […]

Anything that can be abused, will be.  I’ve written that many times because it is a universal truth about basic Human Nature. If a welfare program can be abused, it will be.  If police are given discretion when to activate or turn off their body cameras, that ability will be abused. In the case of a 40 year-old Australian fiance […]

The following was released by the Congressman’s office this week. Just so we have no pretense as to our position on the work the Congressman is doing, we are willing to admit that the Congressman was somewhere near the bottom of the barrel as a Republican candidate. He has yet to do anything in our eyes to change that assessment […]

By BEN MARQUIS By all appearances it would seem that Republicans have once again reached an impasse on their plans to repeal and replace Obamacare and have kicked the health care can down the road once more. Meanwhile, as the GOP has been almost singularly focused on their futile attempt to please each and everyone with a health care bill, they have virtually […]

By Phil Butler    /    New Eastern Outlook Thanks to Thomas Last week the world confirmed, Vladimir Putin may be the last true leader of humankind. How can I say this, you ask? Well, because the insane mainstream media proved it, that’s how. And The Guardian headline reads, “Killer, kleptocrat, genius, spy: the many myths of Vladimir Putin”. Get ready […]

By Charlie Daniels  Many times, when I do a column about the appalling state of affairs in our nation or point out issues that are irritating to me, somebody asks a perfectly fair and legitimate question. “Okay, we all know what’s wrong. We agree with you, but what is the answer? You’re able to critique, but you don’t have solutions.” Basically, […]

By Charles LiMandri (LifeSiteNews) — For 12 years before the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex “marriage” in 2015, I wrote and lectured extensively on why this development would be fraught with peril. I even recorded a three CD set on the topic for Catholic Answers in 2011. As the General Counsel for the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) in California, I also campaigned extensively for the passage of […]

As I sit here sort of listening to the news –  the point that Trump has recertified the Iran Nuclear Deal  — That the Obamacare package is so riddled with entanglements that it is nearly impossible to repeal without setting off thousands of roadside bombs, All the Obama loyal employees in the government – and all the other things that […]

Harwell launches race for governor and the first question is: “Why?” By Rocky Top Politics So we couldn’t let Beth Harwell’s entry into the Gubernats race without a couple of snarky comments and observations.  Since we have been living rent-free inside Beth’s head for the last three years, we figure, why stop now? Beth is reportedly running her campaign out […]

As long as the MONEY keeps coming in those in the administration (including the $$$ in tax funds) and college staffers will refuse to maintain any kind of common discipline of the students.  This falls on the  BS taught in the teacher colleges and in the parents who never taught their children that NO means NO….  not maybe.  That disobedience […]

For a year, the big question of Russiagate has boiled down to this: Did Donald Trump’s campaign collude with the Russians in hacking the DNC? And until last week, the answer was “no.” As ex-CIA director Mike Morell said in March, “On the question of the Trump campaign conspiring with the Russians … there is smoke, but there is no […]

By Erick Erickson   /  The Resurgent Mitch McConnell, in public, says he wants to pass a health care reform plan that repeals Obamacare. Remember, McConnell says he wants to scrap Obamacare “root and branch.” But behind the scenes, McConnell has been working over liberal senators to assure them his plan will not actually scrap the medicaid expansion and that he will […]
