Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), a close ally of President-elect Trump and a rising GOP star in the House, is taking steps toward announcing a gubernatorial run in 2026. Sources say Donalds has approached Florida-based donors about running and has made a number of notable political hires, including Trump’s 2016 and 2024 presidential pollster Tony Fabrizio. Meanwhile, Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) selection of Attorney General Ashley Moody to replace Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in the Senate has created an even wider opening for Donalds, who would have some of the highest name recognition in the GOP field.

Rock and roll evolved quite heavily in a matter of years after it became a popular genre to the masses. But one of the biggest debates, not just by purists but musical connoisseurs in general, is the endless comparisons between the ’70s and ’80s music. But first of all, in what ways do the two decades differ in terms of rock music? Let’s start with the ’70’s first, which came just right after rock n’ roll’s decade of inception. First off, the decade was derivative but refined, in a sense that it had mastered what the ’60s have developed. For...

Former Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA), who recently retired from the House of Representatives after 27 years on the Hill, has announced she is running for the freshly vacated Mayor of Oakland, California position. This comes on the heels of Oakland’s most recent mayor, Sheng Thao, who voters recalled in November 2024, facing an indictment filed on January 17, 2025, on federal bribery and fraud charges. Lee strongly denounced Thao, albeit not by name, after the indictment’s announcement. The allegations contained in the criminal indictment are devastating. There should be no tolerance whatsoever for secret pay to play schemes that erode...

By Dr. John BergsmaThis Sunday we remain in the afterglow of Epiphany, the celebration of the “manifestation” of Jesus’ divine glory. [Greek epi – phaino = “shine upon” = “reveal, manifest.”] Epiphany, which once was its own season (like Advent or Christmas), has often been associated with three events from the Gospels: the Magi, the Baptism, and the Wedding at Cana. These are the first events that reveal or “manifest” Jesus’ glory in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John, respectively. Certain well-known Epiphany hymns (e.g. “Songs of Thankfulness and Praise”) make reference to all three events. In Year C,...
