I’m generally a conservative-libertarian person of faith. On most issues you’ll find me in the middle of a square roughly defined by Ronald Reagan, Thomas Sowell, Charlie Kirk and Michael Youssef. I was so energized after the 2024 election, as were most friends and...
The death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis should rightly concern everyone and invite transparent investigation. Early this week the truth appeared to be coming out, as one would hope, and so far it has certainly not been on the side of the Ice Agents or the early...
Whatever you think of President Trump’s accomplishments in the first nine months of his second term, you have to agree that they are significant, and that he can be a strong force for change. But he will soon be a lame duck, unable to run again. And he will then be on...
September 10th has now taken its place with September 11th and December 7th as dates we will always remember, because on those dates our nation was attacked and then tested. The cowardly assassination of Charlie Kirk is, I believe, a watershed moment. I was praying...

It’s twelve days before the 2024 Presidential election, so as I write this monthly post I have no idea who the winner will be. But if Donald Trump is elected, itwill be mostly because he has a huge, loyal following, but in part because many Democratic policies of the...
Everything has become way too complicated. I understand it will usually be that way in science, engineering, and technology, but I’m focused here on our personal lives and on national programs and policies. Instead of adding amendments, clarifications and exemptions...
