The first thing that popped into mind when I read about this was that there has to be something potentially damaging there, in the first place. The second thing that entered my mind was: It must suck to be Michael Cohen, right now. The former attorney and “fixer” for Donald Trump is going through some “life changes” now, and there is apparently a real fear that part of those life changes could include an orange jumpsuit and a DOC-issued ID...

There’s no way this ends well for any of us, no matter what Donald Trump says. Today marks the beginning of a what could be a very ugly and far-reaching trade war between the United States and China. Just after midnight, President Trump’s 25 percent tariff increase on Chinese products kicked in. It covers over 800 products including auto parts, industrial machinery, and medical devices, adding up to around $34 billion. For Trump, this is a necessary move to counter... Read more
It’s 2018 and everything is awful. The world is not devoid of “good guys,” but it has become harder and harder to pick them out of a lineup. This is also not a “left” issue or a “right” issue. Both sides of the spectrum are equally horrid. For your consideration, I have two examples (out of so many) to offer. First, let’s consider Michael Miselis. Miselis is a UCLA doctoral student, with U.S. security clearance to work on sensitive research... Read more
Just when you think the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election is about to wind down, there’s a new twist. There are several new reports on the progress of the probe available for those keeping score at home, now. To begin with, the Senate Intelligence Committee released their findings in the probe, and unlike their counterparts with the House Intelligence Committee, they’ve got a much more unified, solid message. A for instance would be the nature of the... Read more
Reverend Franklin Graham continues his descent into something foreign and apart from what his father, the Reverend Billy Graham taught for so many years. While Billy Graham preached the Gospel to the nations and stood as a spiritual adviser to presidents across party lines, his son not only gets in the gutter to support an adulterous, vile man, but seeks to profit from him, as well. On Tuesday, there was a bit of a social media controversy, when it was... Read more
Wow. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt is a real character. And it’s not like he’s not dogged by a monumental amount of scandal, as it is. Pruitt is stewing in the heat of around 14 separate probes, with the latest mess involving news of secret calendars and schedules, to avoid releasing all schedules publicly. That’s a no-no. It strays into the territory of violating federal law. Another report about Pruitt is that he asked staffers to book hotel rooms for... Read more
There was speculation among some as to if President Trump’s upcoming summit with his man-crush, Russian President Vladimir Putin would include any alone time for the pair. There was also a lot of warning that this would be disastrous and highly recommended against. So, in true Trumpian fashion, it appears that that’s exactly what the president is planning. According to a person familiar with the plans surrounding the July 16 summit between the two leaders in Helsinki, Finland, President Trump... Read more
What does it look like to vote against your own self-interests, in its most raw, pure form? For that, you will find no more perfect example than what’s going on in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and at the Mid Continent Nail Factory. Mid Continent is the largest nail factory in the United States, and unfortunately, they’re in trouble. Something has come along and upset the apple cart of these red-white-and-blue collar, all-American workers. I’d call it, bad policy. In June, the... Read more
There really must be loyalty to the throne. Former Trump attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen is about to find out just how much his years of devotion to Donald Trump are worth. It doesn’t look like it’s worth much, but I don’t think this will come as much of a surprise to him. What we’re seeing is that no matter how “thick” someone is with Trump, the very real possibility is they can go from being heroes to zeroes in... Read more
This is where I reiterate, with feeling, that Christians in the United States are so very blessed, no matter their station in life. Just being in a nation that allows for free and unobstructed worship is a blessing. From the poorest American clinging to their hope for a better eternity, to the most prosperous TV preacher, whether he or she is Scripturally sound in their teaching, or not, there is no fear in this nation of being arrested, imprisoned, or...
