For more than a week, Republicans from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to Washington, D.C., have been shaken by the talk that Sen. John Thune might not seek reelection in 2022. The exit of three-termer Thune, No. 2 in the Senate Republican hierarchy behind Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, would make the odds better-than-even on Democrats winning his Senate seat.

Healing One Hurt at a Time. This past year we saw a breakout of the devils plans to destroy peoples hopes for peace and enjoyment of their rights. From the shadows came plots and plans for forcibly taking the security that people who knew how to find it in the right way have. What I cannot promise in the new year is that those plots will get any better. We do not know where we are in God's timeline and of His justice for the evil that mankind does. What I can offer from my own personnel experience is that...

A bit of good news as we kick off 2022. It turns out coffee is your friend. And it is very good for you, as first outlined in this report from 2017:A meta-analysis of 127 studies conducted in 2017 revealed that daily drinking two to four 8-ounce cups of coffee decreases risk of cancer by 20 percent, Type 2 diabetes by 30 percent, and Parkinson's by 30 percent. Furthermore, a huge study in the UK found that those who drink a LOT of coffee live longer than those who don't.Wow, that’s high praise; you would think that would be enough...

Who Is Ray Epps? Day’s Loudest Riot Recruiter, Apparent Leader Of First Breach Of Capitol, Dubbed “The Mysterious Man,” Remains Unindicted Ray Epps, shown in multiple videos on the day of the riots, has many claiming he was likely one of a number of federal plants who covertly infiltrated rioters with the goal of inciting them to enter the Capitol. Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned Attorney General Garland about Epps during an October House oversight hearing, asking why he had not yet been charged, despite a significant amount of evidence against him; Garland refused to answer. Ray Epps has many claiming...

Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard sparked a firestorm of criticism on Saturday for their public lamentations about some college football players choosing not to play in bowl games that have no consequence to the pursuit of a national championship. The pushback that they received for their antiquated thinking shows how far the mainstream attitudes have come when it comes to players with NFL prospects preserving their ability to finally get paid for their talents, abilities, and sacrifices.

A parent in Arlington, Virginia, slammed the teachers’ union in the state by editing an error-ridden letter that demanded officials delay reopening schools and posted the corrected version on social media. “Hey @VEA4Kids, are you going to send out more of these grammar worksheets over break?” the parent wrote on Twitter. “My kids and I had a great time spotting errors! Did we find them all?” The parent rewrote the lead sentence, which includes strange descriptions and the incorrect style for the planned return to school date: “On behalf of the members of the Arlington Education Association, this dire expression...

I hadn’t realized, until I had lived elsewhere for some time, that I had learned to operate under the assumption that I couldn’t trust folks to follow through on their commitments. That there was always an underlying assumption that folks usually had an ulterior motive when being helpful. I hadn’t realized until I lived in a place in which folks truly value character, kindness and friendship, that I had been living in a place which prioritized material status and image. I hadn’t realized until I lived in a place with a healthy distrust of authority, that I had been living...

Ilhan Omar and Jan Schakowsky managed to get through the House a bill that promises to criticize speech with which Omar disagrees. In his 1925 autobiography, Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler spewed page after page of hatred for the Jewish people, proclaiming what he would do if he rose to power. When the Holocaust ensued, only the most uninformed or disingenuous could claim not to have realized that Hitler meant to eliminate Jews off the face of the earth. Since the end of World War II, anti-Semitism has become more indirect, with attacks upon Jews being blamed on other factors than...

Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs sent a letter Thursday to the Department of Health and Human Service and the FDA demanding answers on why they needed 75 years to answer FOIA requests for Pfizer vaccine data. “The lack of transparency from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) surrounding the information that was relied on to license the COVID-19 vaccines is astonishing,” the letter reads. “I urge you to commit significant departmental resources to ensure that the American public has full access to all information that FDA regulators relied upon in approving the...

A testament to how strongly a false idea can seem to be supported by fact. Arguments for the Flat Earth Theory and socialist doctrine share many aspects in common. At first glance, to a casual observer, the Earth really does seem flat, and for most practical purposes, that observation is sufficient to guide our activities locally. Only when one travels far enough to change time zones, or to experience a change in the duration of daylight, does the flatness theory begin to seriously break down on the local level. Most of us live in a family where socialist, even communist...

I headed into the Christmas season in a foul mood as our country’s trajectory appears to be emulating the fall of the Roman Empire. Hopelessly corrupt politicians, weak generals, barbarians swarming the borders, and a pervasive sense of moral decay all doomed Rome and are currently taking down America. When it comes to brainless incompetence, Nero and Caligula have nothing on Brandon and Kammy! Still, Christmas is a time of hope and giving and caring for others. I tried to relax and get in the holiday spirit but it just wasn’t happening. And then, on Christmas Day no less, I...

The Tournament of Roses Parade formerly was meant to be a celebration and affirmation of the new year's beginning. But in 2020, the parade included a horrifying dystopian vision on an award-winning float yesterday. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation sponsored a float title “vaccinate the world” in 2 places, featuring a robot that apparently would vaccinate all, with no human involvement needed (except as subjects, willing or not). The float was even the winner of Queen award for most outstanding presentation of roses.
