Etched in stone above the entrance of the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington are the words: “Equal justice under law.” The treatment of father and son Oregon ranchers by the federal judicial system makes a travesty of those words, though President Trump’s pardon this past week is a first step toward rectifying their injustice. In 2001 Dwight Hammond and his son … [Read more...]
Putin & the Blowfish: High Treason Season of the Witch
Be careful what you wish for, you might get it. America voted for radical change. We got it. Czar Donaldov’s fawning performance in Helsinki last Monday brought shouts of high treason from high places, except from top Democrats. At least Sen.

He knows that demand for abortion wire services will skyrocket when his new Supreme Court nominee is … [Read more...]
The Real Marriage Vows
One of the consequences of being a priest is that I’ve likely attended more weddings than you have attended. Waaay more. At weddings, couples exchange vows. For better or worse. For richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. I won’t have sex with anybody else, ever. To love and to cherish. Until death do us part. You know the drill. These are the vows. The … [Read more...]
Big News Week
Last week there were a number of stories that could have been given the title of Number One News Story of the Week. Chief among them was the announcement of Supreme Court Justice Kennedy’s resignation. The unexpected news sent the mainstream media into a tizzy as they sought out various members of the Democrat Party to get their reactions. Obstructionist-in-chief Senator Chuck … [Read more...]
Free Speech Issues ‘on the Ballot’ in Nevada
The right to free speech includes the right to not be compelled to speak. That includes not being required to pay dues to a union whose political views might be different from yours, not being required to advertise abortion availability at your faith-based pregnancy counseling service, not being required to use your cake baking talent to create a special cake or your flower … [Read more...]
