In 2004, an hour-long documentary was released telling the exhilarating and inspirational true story of the man we know of today as “St. Patrick”. This production starred two prominent Irish actors; Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne, both telling the story of Patrick, as well as assembling a team of Irish historians who retell the political, cultural, and spiritual climate of 5th century Ireland, so that you feel the drama of the times, the events, and how God oversaw the direction of the life of the man whose story inspired a holiday to be set aside to recognize it. The Story:...

On December 27, 2025, a 13-year-old boy named Terrel Byars Jr. was hit and killed by a driver in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, which is near Pittsburgh.This past Sunday, protestors and their children walked in the street and deliberately placed themselves in front of oncoming traffic, in the exact same spot, on the exact same road, where Byars was killed.So after a child was hit and killed by a car, parents are encouraging their own children to walk in the same street against oncoming traffic.This is the exact opposite of what these parents should be teaching their children.Shame on these parents.https://triblive.com/local/4-arrested-officer-hurt-when-confrontation-breaks-out-at-west-mifflin-protest/

Iran's leadership and its triad of threats: nuclear ambiguity, surging missiles, and drone swarms – the very real hegemonic danger that extended far beyond the Middle East.For years, the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—the Iran nuclear deal—was sold as a historic diplomatic achievement that blocked Iran's path to a nuclear weapon for a generation. Supporters praised it as pragmatic restraint. Critics, including myself, saw it for what it really was: a temporary pause that let Iran preserve its nuclear infrastructure, accelerate its military capabilities, and wait out the sunset clauses.The deal was never designed to be permanent. Many...

Today I am happy to announce the release of the very short audio for Thomas Jefferson's interesting letter "A Dialog between the Head and Heart", which reaches just past 30 minutes long. Yes, it is a very short recording, but this one is a little different than most others I work on. This recording is a compilation; that is, there are three voices present that are seemingly talking to each other in a way. One of the recordings in this I recorded. This does not signal my triumphant return to the microphone though. I wish. I still have a very...

As someone who looks at culture and politics regularly, I often write about problems and, on occasion, proffer solutions. Sometimes the solutions are relatively straightforward and obvious, like suggesting to the GOP that if they don’t pass the SAVE Act and bring about something resembling honest elections, they’re going to get their asses handed to them in November. Others, I recognize, are far more complex than my 30,000-foot take on the issue. This is most certainly the case when I suggested the government should get out of the wealth redistribution business. Knowing that there are thousands of programs handing out...

When I grew up, we would never dare scream at, push, or even touch a police officer. We sure as hell would never throw things at a cop car.
