I have followed the Houston petition story for months. I’ve had numerous conversations with a person directly involved in the petition drive. I’ve known him for more than 25 years. He’s one of the most connected persons in Texas when it comes to politics. Long before this became a national

If Christian pastors across the United States don’t get the message from what the city of Houston Texas is doing under the leadership of Mayor Annise Parker, then their churches deserve to be shut down by the government. Officials with the city of Houston, who are fighting for a controversial

While on vacation last week in South Carolina, I noticed a steep drop in the price of gas. By the time we came back home, I was paying $2.86 per gallon. In some states it’s even lower, a 55-cent swing from what I paid in Georgia. Not only is this

Yesterday liberals celebrated “I Hate Columbus Day.” In order to express their disdain for the intrepid explorer, they’ve remade “Columbus Day” into “Indigenous Peoples Day.” Let’s look at some of these Indigenous Peoples, in particular the Aztecs and Inca. While Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortez’s arrival caused Montezuma fear and dread,

The discussion about Islam with Ben Affleck and Sam Harris on Bill Maher’s show is still making waves. Journalist Nicholas Kristof also took part in the discussion, backing up Affleck. Both Harris and Maher are atheists. Even so, they shot down Affleck’s claim that Christianity is also a violent religion

ABC News reports that “[a] state appeals court will decide in coming weeks whether chimpanzees are entitled to ‘legal personhood’ in a case that could lead to expanded rights for animals such as gorillas, elephants and dolphins, according to the lawyer advocating for a 26-year-old chimp named Tommy.” Unborn babies

Each October, Christopher Columbus is hammered for his voyages of exploitation of native peoples and supported for proving the earth was round instead of flat. (More about the flat earth claim below). For example, Seattle, Washington, has designated “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” to replace the every-federal-government-worker-gets-the-day-off -with-pay-while-the-rest-of-us-don’t Columbus Day paid holiday.

I’ve been seeing posts on Facebook about 29-year-old Brittany Maynard who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer not long after she got married and who will kill herself on November 1st, two days after her husband’s birthday. These types of cancers are terrible. I saw the ravages of cancer when

Capitalism makes it possible for most Americans, even the poorest among us, to live like the kings of old. The kings of world empires could only dream about the staggering material advances brought about by capitalism. Actually, they couldn’t dream about it since they did not have the categories to

Purple is the new liberal color. In politics, a blue state is a state dominated by Democrats. A red state is a state dominated by Republicans. A purple state is neither blue nor red. The politically correct and sexually confused liberal social engineers have taken the color purple and applied

At a fundraiser for President Obama, Academy-Award-winning actress and multimillionaire (net worth $60 million) Gwyneth Paltrow said of President Obama, who was present at the event of the one-percenters, “It would be wonderful if we were able to give this man all of the power that he needs to pass

If there’s one thing that Christians get upset about is a disagreement over some of their cherished beliefs they think are found in the Bible. The belief that Christians are going to be taken off the earth prior to a Great Tribulation has been a big part of evangelicalism for

I haven’t watched a show on the big three networks – ABC, CBS, NBC – for years. Since the 2012 election, I haven’t watched Fox News. I’ve been getting my news and entertainment elsewhere. This means that if anything of significance develops on a network show, I have to hear

Can you imagine Nazi officials going into a tailor shop owned by Jews and demanding that they produce Nazi and Jewish insignia patches? Yes you can, because they are Nazis who had taken control over everything in Germany and hoped to extend their tyranny to other countries in Germany. It

President Obama attacked the Republican Party “for catering to the ‘interests of billionaires’ in an email to supporters on Tuesday, then attended a series of high-dollar fundraisers, including one at real estate mogul Rich Richman’s house.” So there really is a Richie Rich, and he’s a rich Democrat! There are

The Supreme Court has refused to take up the issue of federal judges usurping the authority of state legislatures and various referendums regarding same-sex marriage. Most establishment Republicans have remained silent. Most governors have given into the unlawful rulings. They don’t want to take a position and face voters. If

Why would a company like Firestone have more incentive to fight Ebola better than a government? Self-interest. Firestone owns a rubber plantation in Harbel, Liberia. The following NPR report is fascinating and encouraging: “Harbel is a company town not far from the capital city of Monrovia. It was named in

The reboot of a film version of Left Behind has turned out to be a commercial flop even though it has some big named-actors in it. The Left Behind book series is a revival of other end-time novels that have been plaguing the Christian publishing world for nearly 90 years.
