    Frittering away our grandchildren’s future?

    I thought of that quote when I read some of the details of the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill that is touted as “COVID relief.” Critics, like Congressman Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana), say that it’s a “liberal wish list.”

    A major reason controversy over abortion will not die is because it was imposed on the American people by judicial fiat.

  • Law and Disorder: Hard to stomach double standard

    Law and Disorder: Hard to stomach double standard

    One of the worst potential outcomes would be to encourage more Christian apathy on politics. It is never a good time to quit doing the right thing, even after major setbacks. After all, as Calvin Coolidge said, “If good men don’t hold office, bad men will.”

    A worthy goal for the New Year
