    Now that more than 2 years have passed since we first started being bombarded by messages about COVID, we have a lot more knowledge than we did at first. The fog of war has faded, and we can see with fidelity the faulty fears we faced. We can now see with some clarity what was…

    Reading reviews of Dr. Birx’s biographical book has revealed the lies and manipulations that she used to get everyone on board with her thinking, whether it was right or not. From bullying and personal attacks on people who don’t agree with her version of the truth, to censorship of dissenting arguments to keep them from…

    Or you will fall for anything I am sorry, but this blog post is going to pick on the left. While the right can be inconsistent, they do follow the moral code of Christian teaching, at least in a general sense. As such, although there are hypocrisies, there is less true conflicting reasoning justifying the…

    Gas prices are much higher than they were 2 years ago. Everyone wants to point the finger, or at least give the finger to their favorite scapegoat. But what is with the current gas prices. Let’s start with who is getting the money. We have to start with crude oil, then refineries, then distributors and…

    Right now, and for the last few years, I have seen social media go wild over topics that are not the real problems that face this country. All the while, real problems face us that are being ignored. Is this by chance, or by design. This week, everyone is either mourning woman’s loss of a…

    Today is Memorial Day. A day set aside to honor those who died defending our country and the freedoms we enjoy. Have you thought today about the debt we owe to those who gave all to defend our way of life? Have you reflected today on what a great country we live in? Have you…

    I still have not healed from COVID. I have heard about long COVID, but how long is this going to last. No, I am not talking about the virus itself. If I did catch the virus, it was a non-event that went completely unnoticed. I am talking about the mental, social and even physical harms…

    I think I need to talk about several things with the recent Supreme Court leak. Most articles I see on this topic are obviously biased in their opinion. I want to try to cover this from hopefully a less biased stance. First, lets talk about the actual event, an unauthorized leak of data. Some people…

    First and foremost, I want to start by noting that we are all imperfect creatures. Whether our imperfections be pride, hatred, arrogance, self indulgence, self harm, abusing others, sexuality, or some other sin, we need to love and accept all people. Certain sins do not make us better or worse than others. This is something…

    When I was reflecting this week on the Easter season, I was suddenly struck with an interesting thought. Cancel culture, while seemingly a new concept, has been happening for a long time. And the Easter season brings out one classic example. Today we celebrate Palm Sunday, Jesus’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The crowds were greeting…
