I agree with those who feel that America is headed for uncertain times in our near future. According to a new Quinnipiac University Poll released last Tuesday, America’s President-Elect, Donald Trump, will enter the presidency with a historically low approval rating, only 37%.
Trump’s approval rating has actually declined since his popular vote loss and electoral college win last November. At presen..

ACTION ALERT: Tell Congress to Stop the Nation’s Capital From Legalizing Assisted Suicide

14/01/2017 0 Comment

On January 12, 2017, Congressman Brad Wenstrup (R-Oh.) and Senator James Lankford (R-Ok.) introduced a joint measure aimed at protecting the residents of the District of Columbia from becoming the 6th jurisdiction to legalize the dangerous practice of assisted suicide.

But to nullify the District of Columbia assisted suicide law, H.J. Res. 27/ S. J. Res. 4 will have to be acted on soon. While Congress has taken the first steps to prevent the assisted suicide law from taking effect, the clock is..

Repealing Obamacare without a Replacement: How It May Hurt Small Church Pastors and Church Planters Near You

13/01/2017 0 Comment

ACA repeal/replace has a lot of implications.

It seems that President-elect Trump is moving full force against a repeal of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), tweeting out that “The ‘Unaffordable’ Care Act will soon be history!”

The Problems of Obamacare

Admittedly, we would find few people who would say Obamacare has been a great success, especially as premiums have soared in recent years. Even Bill Clinton’s comments, later walked back, reveal the widespread dissatisfaction.

Trump’s news conference & confirmation hearings

12/01/2017 0 Comment

Donald Trump held his first news conference since winning the election. He said that he now believes the Russians were probably responsible for the Democratic National Committee e-mail hacks, but he blasted the report that Russia has compromising information on him, singling out CNN for its reporting and Buzzfeed for publishing the unverified document.
Also, confirmation hearings for Trump’s cabinet are underway. His attorney-general nominee, Jeff Sessions, said that abortion and same-sex marria..

A Cry in the Dark? Dear Meryl…

And let’s talk about the powerful using their position to bully others. We see that often. So much of sexual abuse is about power and abuse rather than lust. Which is why when powerful men use their power to humiliate or abuse they should be called out and not lauded by their peers. I’m sure you agree…that was after all your point. So can you explain why you stood and joined in the standing ovation to Roman Polanski at the 2003 Oscars?

Dear Meryl,

That was some performance last night. No – th..

Donald Trump: I Will Pick Replacement for the “Great, Great Justice Scalia” Two Weeks After Inauguration

11/01/2017 0 Comment

If you have 48 minutes, go to YouTube and watch pro-life President-elect Donald Trump spar with reporters at his first formal press conference since he was elected. It no doubt foreshadows what we will see for the next 4-8 years.

Here’s what the President-elect said today when asked about making an appointment to the Supreme Court. (The High Court is currently short one member due to the untimely death of Justice Antonin Scalia.)

I’ll be making the decision on who we will put for justice of th..

More Russian dirty tricks

11/01/2017 0 Comment

Not only did the Russians hack into the Democrats’ e-mails in an attempt to influence the election. According to a classified report shared with Donald Trump, the Russians also compiled a dossier of “compromising” information about the president-elect’s personal life and about his finances.
That the Russians released embarrassing information about Hillary Clinton but not about Trump is evidence, according to the CIA, that they wanted to discredit the former but protect the latter. But now some f..

“The last honest liberal” dies

09/01/2017 0 Comment

Nat Hentoff, 91, has died. The jazz critic for the Village Voice, Hentoff described himself as a left-wing Jewish atheist. But he became a pro-life crusader, alienating his fellow liberals for his strong opposition to abortion. Hentoff was a civil libertarian, fiercely devoted to the Constitution, who quit the ACLU because of its support of speech codes.
Hentoff had been called “the last honest liberal” for his consistency in extending the left’s concern for the poor and marginalized to the most..

Secular Hollywood Quietly Courts the Faithful

08/01/2017 0 Comment

Mr. Bock, who is Presbyterian, is credited with being the first Hollywood marketer to realize that churches had started to install enormous screens to use during their services, sometimes just to display hymn lyrics. More recently, $35,000 video walls have become more common in sanctuaries. “It makes church feel more contemporary,” Mr. Bock said, adding that ministers are becoming adept at “building vibrant social media communities that expand their reach far beyond Sunday morning.”

The Rev. Ro..
