The absurdity is practically overwhelming.  They obviously think, or at least hope, that you are stupid.  They hope that either you do not have the brain God gave a grasshopper, or that you deliberately choose to be stupid and ignore the obvious. Now if you read the Good Book, it tells us that there really are folks among us who choose to be stupid, choose not to see what is perfectly obvious to others.  It tells us that if people don’t want to see the truth, God will not allow them to see it, kind of a “spiritual” thing.  But the Bible also tells us that to see the truth, all we have to do is ask.  That’s fair.  Remember? Knock and the door shall be opened?  Seek and we shall find? But if we don’t knock with an open heart, if we truly do not want to know the truth, God, Who knows our hearts, will allow us to live in ignorance, and out of our own free will.  And to people who see the obvious truth all around us, we just appear stupid, althou...

Last week congress passed a two-year, bipartisan budget deal.  Now if the calculations are correct, this budget will add $300 billion in additional federal spending, unmatched by revenues.  That means the national debt will continue to accelerate, ironically, while majorities of “fiscal conservative” Republicans populate both houses. Now am I the only one who just doesn’t care anymore?  I have been hearing that the national debt is unsustainable since Reagan ran for office…the first time.  I recall the same political points being scored, each side against the other, when Reagan’s national debt approached…drumroll…one trillion dollars.   And so, except for use in academia, or maybe political theater, it’s almost like the US national debt, now over $20 trillion, just really doesn’t matter.  I mean, what’s in a number?  I ask because, whatever the national debt might be at any particular moment is just a number on a computer screen.  That’s all i...

For several years now, I have described the parties actually running the US Government in terms my parents would never have recognized.  Expressions such as, “criminal,” “world class criminal,” or “world class liars,” have almost seem too tame to describe the kinds of behaviors I have studied these people to be involved in.  For a long time, people, friends and family alike, thought I was at least over-the-top in my assessments.  I have been called the usual, “conspiracy theorist.”  And I remember one relative wrote, “If you are looking for it on the Internet, you’ll find it.”  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I would hear about the black helicopters that are surely on the way to get me.  Oh yes, I remember it all. But that’s okay.  I don’t hold it against anyone.  After all, we have a right to expect that our government has not turned over to the dark side.  We have a right to expect that the people we vote into office have our best interests at hear...

One of my favorite sayings, applicable to President Trump, is one that comes from Christian apologist, Ravi Zacharias.  According to Zacharias, anyone who truly desires to make a difference must first, “enter the arena of need.”  In other words, one cannot stand on the outside criticizing and expect anything to change.  One must go inside and deal with those who need to understand a better path from that which they have chosen in the past.  One can accomplish that purpose only from inside their house.  And that is where President Trump goes.  Consequently, Trump continues being heard by those who need to hear him and is making a difference for America and the world.  Let’s look at how Trump enters the arena of need. Remember, shortly after taking office, Trump began planning his first trip abroad.  Interestingly, that visit, which took place last May, was not to visit America’s traditional allies in Europe.  Instead, Trump entered a greater a...
