Will we ever figure out the identity of the mystery author of the explosive op-ed in last Wednesday’s edition of The New York Times? The White House claims to be getting close, although I don’t know how. There have been a lot of guesses, with a lot of really bizarre twists behind those guesses. The most popular guess, it appears to be, is Vice President Mike Pence. Think about it: What better way to grab the reins of power, than... Read more
This weekend, I wrote that there are no heroes in politics. I was one of those people who was drawn to particular candidates and declared myself as part of a “team” of supporters. During the 2012 and 2016 election cycles, I was “Team Perry,” a true believer in former Texas Governor (now Energy secretary) Rick Perry. Sadly, the man I saw as a warrior in the fight to bring true conservative idealism back to our government happily discarded the red,... Read more
It’s time to send up another red flag on Teen Vogue, the magazine that targets young girls between the ages of 13 years old and 17 years old. I remember a time when such magazines were about hair and fashion, maybe the occasional celebrity interview. Now, the content has become dark and subversive, meant to instill a certain worldview of humanism, completely detached from what was once held as moral and reasonable for our youth. I would be remiss if... Read more
It seems I have written so many of these pieces over the last three years. In fact, I’ve been sounding the warning bell about Donald Trump from the moment I saw him descend on that gaudy, gold escalator at Trump Tower, to announce he’d be running for the presidency in June 2015. I knew who Trump was, and honestly, I had no real problem with him, through the years. Why would I? He was just another B-list personality, at best.... Read more
President Trump’s rush to authoritarianism should scare people. It bothers many Americans. We now know it alarms his Cabinet and staff. I dare say that the only one not freaking out over Trump’s despotic aspirations are his red-capped devotees, who don’t really understand what authoritarianism is. All they care about is if Trump says it, they believe it, and that’s the end of it. And speaking of Trump’s authoritarian bent, the op-ed from an anonymous White House senior official that...

With this week’s mountain of reports of an incompetent, mentally unhinged President Trump hitting the public from all sides – and with sobering believability, I might add – how rattled do you think the president is? I’m guessing a lot. President Tweeter McBestWords was rallying in Montana on Thursday night, and as is always his way, those rallies tend to be about the four touchdowns he ran in one game, back in high school. Oh, wait… I mean, about his... Read more
Say, is there anything else, maybe one more nail driven into the coffin of this particular infrastructure week, in order to solidify that Trump’s Cabinet and staff think he’s unstable, unqualified, and that the well-being of our nation has been put into the hands of a corrupt, inept clown? So what do we have so far? We’ve got award winning journalist, Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” with tale after tale of an administration in chaos.... Read more
If you want to get a good feel for the panic level in the Trump White House, just park yourself on Twitter and wait. President Trump has to be a horrible poker player. He just doesn’t seem to have the ability to control his emotions, and all too often it spills over to his Twitter account. Knowing that, the fact that he hasn’t committed seppuku on the social media platform yet, given the last couple of days of really bad... Read more
Controversy in the church. It’s not a new thing, but a new statement declaring the dangers of the concept of “social justice” to the pure Gospel message is getting a lot of attention. The statement, simply titled, “The Statement on Social Justice & the Gospel” was issued by theologian and pastor, John MacArthur and a host of other evangelical leaders, who acted as initial signers. It begins: “Clarity on these issues will fortify believers and churches to withstand an onslaught... Read more
Of course, when The New York Times runs an op-ed by an anonymous author, claiming to be a senior Trump administration official, and that op-ed paints a picture of a reckless, amoral thug in the Oval Office, you had to know the president’s Twitter rage would be swift. It should also come as no surprise that Trump’s first inclination leans to authoritarianism. “Does the so-called “Senior Administration Official” really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with...
