Here's Why Spending Fights Are Getting More Frequent
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
People are uneasy about the debt ceiling fight. Many think it's unhealthy and a sign of poor fiscal management, and they are right. However, they should get used to it. These budget fights will keep getting more frequent and more intense. That's because no one wants to talk about budget restraints. The truth is that existing spending commitments are rapidly shrinking the share of the budget that politicians have control over as their appetite for spending expands.
Those who believe that government is the answer to all problems are always full of ideas about new programs to be funded. They want to prepare for the next pandemic or emergency by funding new government capabilities. They want government to engineer an energy revolution while simultaneously paying off all outstanding student loans as well as all future enrollments. They also want the government to relieve parents of the financial burden of raising children, while expanding the military and funding every project on the books.
Science by Judicial Decree
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
If you go to any public school or university, you will find The Big Bang to man evolutionary view of origins it's the only view that you will hear. Efforts to include Biblical creation or even simply the possibility of an intelligent designer have not been just met with criticism in various forms of personal attacks, but actual lawsuits. this has been part of an overall attempt to remove God completely from the schools and from public life. However, this is not how science is supposed to work. Real science allows for the options to be discussed; these lawsuits are effectively science by judicial decree.
Jefferson's Constitutional Metaphor
- Details
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
The metaphorical phrase articulated by Thomas Jefferson and received by posterity as a “…a wall of separation between church and state” never even existed in this country in the years between the founding of the first English settlement at James Town, Virginia in 1607 and the year 1802-the year Jefferson framed it. Jefferson, when President, “coined” the imaginative metaphorical phrase in a letter to a Christian Denominational Church (Baptist) in 1802-and that period of time spanned a total of nearly two hundred (200) years. It is simply a metaphor illustrating a jurisdictional issue that existed in the federal government over religion and meant nothing to the formation of our Constitution or Bill of Rights simply because it did not exist in that time span! It simply illustrated the fact that no religious jurisdiction of any type existed in the newly ratified Federal Constitution.
The CCP Owns the Biden Administration

- By Joseph M. Bianchi
Can a balloon demonstrate who really owns the administration in Washington, and by association, American foreign policy?
Apparently, it can.
The recent transit and shoot down of a Chinese spy balloon are more than a metaphor for poor American foreign policy and decision making—it is proof positive that those who currently run our country are bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
What else can explain the reticence to shoot down a spy vehicle launched by a hostile country that invaded our air space and soared across the US gathering intelligence on some of our most sensitive and important military bases?
Ukraine and the American Agenda

It is time to ask ourselves some questions
The November 2013 Warning in the Ukrainian Parliament
Oleg Tsaryov, 2014, Former Ukrainian Parliament Deputy and Victoria Nuland, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs.
Should American foreign policy instigate public unrest, violent riots, and regime-change in targeted nations? Should demonization of foreign leaders and peoples be essential methods of foreign policy? Should we be instigating covert or “color” revolutions around the world to advance our national agenda? Should we support the Ukrainian government’s present ethnic cleansing campaign against Russian language, culture, and religion? Does an agenda to divide and destroy Russia have any place in an ethical and sane world? Must we insist on provoking World War III? Or is all this unethical and blundering style of foreign policy going to send us to the bottom like the RMS Titanic in 1912?
You Can Trust “Rinos” To Be Rinos - But Some You Can’t Trust At All!
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
There are two kinds of creatures that inhabit our planet whose names sound similar. One is an ornery four-legged remnant of prehistoric times—a monster called a Rhinoceros, or “RHINO”, for short. It has poor eyesight and a reputation for a bad temper, and it doesn’t appreciate being threatened or pestered. Those who get on its “bad side” are attacked by this one-and-a-half ton beast whose intention is to spear you with its horn and/or grind you into the dirt. You certainly want to stay away from them if you value your life.
However, there is another kind of “RINO” in our midst. It usually lurks in the ranks of the Republican Party but gives only “lip service” to the sometimes conservative planks of that often weak-kneed political party, hence its nick-name: RINO, or “Republican In Name Only”. This species also has poor “political eyesight” and a reputation for stabbing those with whom it disagrees politically in their backs.
The Troll Sagas

Chapter 7 - In the Shadow of War
The two foxes, Skrogger and Raevi, repeated the report of the falcons. Marja and several other captives were being held at Linge. They also reported an even more serious consideration completely unknown to her captors:
Ketel translated from Fox to Norse: “Just beyond Linge rises the Great Troll Mountain under which dwell the Synkasti, the most sinister and vicious tribe of the wicked trolls. It is the mountain over which the Troll Road goes, which some call the “Troll Ladder,” as dangerous a journey as any man has ever made. We dare not alert such a wicked tribe of trolls that we are in the area, and no help can come from Andalsnes or Romsdal if needed. It would mean almost certain death to a small band of men. We cannot ask them to risk it. We can only attack from the fjord or the south shore across the narrow water that separates Eidsdal from Linge. On the other hand, Odd and Sten, your (Ketel’s) are gathering a small force of trolls north of the Geirangerfjord, which leads into the Sunnylyvfjord and then into the Great Fjord. They will be on the march by tomorrow.”
