A wise man once said, “Everything Trump touches dies.” With a hat tip to the ever-eloquent Mr. Rick Wilson, I’m going to take on the painful task of laying out the next profile in cowardice. When I decided to begin this series, I knew I was biting off a lot. So many have fallen under the weight of partisanship. So many in the Republican party have sold their souls to the curse of Trumpism. It’s not easy to admit that... Read more
The depravity that has overtaken the American church body no longer shocks me, I’m sad to say. I’ll toss in here that the decline to lukewarm status didn’t begin with Donald Trump, lest anyone get the impression that this is going to be another piece chastising evangelicals for their support of the unrepentant adulterer and con artist. No, the decline began years ago, when disreputable frauds saw that there was power in the Word and sought to use that power... Read more
Hello, America. This is what common sense looks like. The wonderful state of Idaho is taking a stand for women and their rights to fairly compete in a field of their peers. So here’s the backdrop: There has been an alarming surge of “wokeness” that pushes women to the back, in order to placate the feelings of men. In particular, female athletes are seeing their training and efforts brought to naught, because the current state of political correctness says that... Read more
Because it’s totally NOT a cult. And by that, I mean it’s a cult. In the age of Trump, running across these stories of absurdity and borderline blasphemy have become the norm, I’m sad to say. The fervor surrounding this unrepentant adulterer and cheater of orphans, widows, and veterans matches the unrestrained worship seen through the years in various cults and sects around the world. What makes it equally disgusting is that once-respected Christian leaders have gone all in to... Read more
Let’s start this out by asking a really simple question: Was anyone reading this surprised that the GOP-led Senate voted to acquit President Trump in this past week’s show trial? If you’re like me, it went exactly as you expected. There was never a threat of the morally bankrupt Republican lemmings falling out of lockstep with their leader. With that in mind, what does the acquittal of Donald Trump mean for our nation? While we know and have seen that... Read more
Hey, Senate Republicans – What are you afraid of? I think I know. If you’ve been following the Trump impeachment saga, you know by now that the GOP has laid aside any feigned allegiance to the Constitution or the rule of law, in order to protect their king, Donald Trump. This week saw Senate Republicans – with the exception of Utah Senator Mitt Romney and Maine Senator Susan Collins – vote to suppress witness testimony or the introduction of evidentiary... Read more
It seems like I’ve written this piece, or some variation, so many times since June 2015. If the years since the introduction of Donald Trump to the political scene have taught me nothing, it’s that the lesson can’t be taught enough, and that those of us with discernment must push on. We must persevere, even if it seems our warnings fall on deaf ears. So here I go again, pushing against the tide of worldly sentiment, trying to reach that... Read more
Michigan Representative Justin Amash continues to be the voice we need in Congress, during this treacherous age of Trump. Last year, the congressman, more Libertarian in his political leanings than Republican, made the choice to walk away from the Republican Party, and those of us who have seen the truth about the GOP cheered him on. Amash is one of the more consistently conservative members of the House, with a particular emphasis on maintaining individual freedom and free markets. He... Read more
Those of us who said the love affair between President Trump and the murderous North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un would never last have been proven correct. Time after time after time… Let’s be honest. The affair was always one sided, with Donald Trump’s impulsiveness, greed, and unsettling admiration of tyrants being the thinnest of threads to hold diplomacy steady. Kim was never a trustworthy partner for peace, and pretty much everyone knew it – except Trump. To date, our... Read more
RELEASE THE DOGS OF WAR! Maybe not. At the very least, those of us who have been paying attention, or who count ourselves among the ever-dwindling ranks of voracious consumers of history and world news should be on alert, today. Let me begin by apologizing for my absence to my regular readers. I took some personal time, but it appears the time was right to reemerge and remind everyone why I am now and forevermore, “NeverTrump.” So much has happened... Read more
