Caesar and Christ
Lately pundits on the Republican and Conservative side keep repeating this statistic. Multiple times on different shows the number 40% of Christians do not vote. Even Trump had the line in his speech at least once if not every ‘Trump Rally’ that is really a shocking rate. Growing up voting in my family and church…

The Indy Sky Line
In the past two weeks I have been to Indy twice. Earlier in the summer though we went to the Zoo, but I do not remember seeing the skyline like this. In all the years I have been to Indianapolis as a child visiting the various hospitals and even when we said goodbye to Uncle…

Trump, Women and DEI
Since the assassination Attempt a couple of Saturday’s ago a lot has transpired. Things we could never have foreseen actually came about. Including an instance from yesterday, I don’t usually say this phrase, but where literally, hell did freeze over. How did this all happen it goes back to July 13th. The Secret Service Director…

State of The Union
Will you be watching hopefully Biden’s last SOTU Speech this evening? A news alert from Truth Social came up on my screen. Thankfully a bipartisan bill named the Laken Riley Act has had 37 Democrats joining the Republicans to pass this legislation. Unfortunately for Biden though, it is a little too late to mention her…

Legal Matters

Pretty much at 10 am I was able to see Rep. James Comer starts off the proceedings and the introduction to the Inquiry. Then the wonderful…

Lahaina, HI: Government Versus Americans
The inhabitants of this island will be getting a check from the government for $700.00. Ukraine just got another check for not being American I guess. How does that sit with you my fellow Americans? When our brothers and sisters are hurting on Hawaiian soil, our 50th State, while Ukraine gets another check for another…

Extraordinary People Making Common Sense
For months observing the review of congressional hearings several people in Government and in Civil Service to their Country have made passionate statements. I have made notations and will be showing the issues from the partisan or actually bipartisan proceedings; they do exist. I have been posting several articles under the topic ‘For Such A…

17 Centuries In Between Governments
History Class was pretty awesome in high school. Watching movies in class meant no homework right? Not always though, especially in my college classes. Movies actually meant taking notes for a discussion, papers or reports were coming. Mr. Benson had us watching movies to get the feel of the epic time periods in American or…

17 Centuries In Between: The Proconsul
Do we really grasp the enormous differences in culture and time at that age? Period films do allow me to imagine, but reading also complemented watching those movies. I have already mentioned Gladiator, one of the movies my high school teacher had us watch. Troy came out after I graduated from UHS; there was a…
