Like Nero playing his proverbial violin as Rome burned, politics continue to be played while our planet continues to heat up.

The promises of God are sources of consolation for living. They are riches making the most spiritually impoverished soul rich by His love and grace. There are nuggets that teach us "Not one word of His promises which He gave by the hand of Moses His servant has failed" (1 Kgs. 8:56). While m… Read more

It was sad to see the Daily News endorse Sen. Mitch McConnell in an opinion piece by insinuating that Amy McGrath would be a tool of the left. It's an insult to think that a retired lieutenant colonel Marine pilot who put her life on the line by flying 89 combat missions against al-Qaida and… Read more

I’ve been wondering why the Postal Service board would name Louis DeJoy as our toxically controversial postmaster general. It seems we have Sen. Mitch McConnell to thank. Read more

Let’s get real everybody. Joe Biden isn’t the Democratic candidate for president. By default he got the nomination.

Life is a risky business – and then you die.

Human slavery. A thing of the past, right? Read more

COVID-19 broke into the new decade as an unwelcome visitor with deadly intentions. We are going to emerge from it stronger or weaker for it, and to me the only path to stronger is all together or not at all. Read more

The Aug. 21 op-ed by the Daily News asserts that WKU should step back from the investigation of the white supremacist pasts of Robert Ogden and Pleasant J. Potter. The paper believes it is nothing more than a radical agenda. Read more

Revolution! Anarchy! Words that describe Antifa's co-opting of the Black Lives Matter movement. The Black Lives Matter movement has given up on its core values and objectives by letting Antifa control its so-called peaceful protests and demonstrations. In the course of abdicating its goals t… Read more

After reading the article about Western’s decision to (possibly) rename Ogden College and Potter Hall, one thought came immediately to mind: This will surely have a significant negative impact on the WKU operating budget. Read more

Beware of ‘tainted instruction’ Read more

I want everyone to please research what I’m about to tell you. Just Google to research the story. Has anyone heard of Daniel Shaver? Of course not - because he was white! He was an “unarmed white man” killed by a “white police officer!” Watch the 4 minute video. After watching it, imagine th… Read more

To those among us who believe that their rights are being violated because we have been told to wear face masks to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, I suggest a look at “The Influenza Masks of 1918” by Alan Taylor, published in The Atlantic on July 16. Read more

It is inexcusable that Mitch McConnell sent the Senate home while a staggering number of Americans continue to file for unemployment and the HEROES Act, the next coronavirus economic relief package, has not yet been debated. Read more

I have been thinking about the things that have united our country since hearing that the Spanish American War may have helped to heal some of the divisions left over from the Civil War (at least those divisions among white Americans who found themselves on opposing sides). Read more

Mail-in balloting is a move by Democrats to fix elections much the way the Richard Daley machine used to fix elections in Chicago back in the day. Read more

Gov. Beshear is doing (the) same thing as the other Democrat governors are, making coronavirus sound worse than (it) truly is, at this time. Using scare tactics to get what they want, mail-in ballots for November election. Democrats know, by the 2016 election, they cannot beat President Trum… Read more

In the June 30 Daily News story "BGPD chief retires Aug. 1," I was stumped by the statement that city employees face a mandatory retirement at age 57. Read more

This morning I saw an ad approved by Sen. Mitch McConnell that I take umbrage with. It is the ad that shows toppling statutes, and protesters taking to the streets to get their message out. The line I take umbrage with the most is the senator saying "they are destroying our heroes." Read more
