Beyond Illusion: Seeing Life Clearly

Beyond Illusion: Seeing Life Clearly

Peace results from retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than how you think it should be. This truth is particularly relevant for individuals who have experienced complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and relational trauma. For many, life has been filled with pain, betrayal, and brokenness that have left deep scars. Yet, God’s promise…

Biden’s Aides Were in a “Fog of Delusion”

Biden’s Aides Were in a “Fog of Delusion”

COMMON SENSE: According to Ron Klain, President Biden’s former Chief-of-Staff, before the debate with Donald Trump, Biden was “fatigued, befuddled and disengaged.” We suspected this, so that isn’t surprising. Despite the claims by the Democrats that Joe was a dynamo of energy, we witnessed his lethargy daily, but that’s not all. We were very vocal about…

Auto-Signing—an Unforced Deep State Error

Auto-Signing—an Unforced Deep State Error

COMMON SENSE: With the use of an autopen, former President Biden’s staff, probably without his knowledge, signed pardons for numerous January 6th Committee members, including Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney. In a stunning development, President Trump posted on Truth Social that these pardons are “void, vacant and of no further force or effect.” But what does…

Is Trump Putin’s Puppet or Not?

Is Trump Putin’s Puppet or Not?

COMMON SENSE: Predictably, when the Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy went south, Capitol Hill Democrats immediately resurrected the narrative that Trump is Vladimir Putin’s puppet. The Democrats have retreated to this charge so often since 2015 that it has seems to be their default position. The problem is, this charge is…

The UK and Ukraine Have Been Sneaky

The UK and Ukraine Have Been Sneaky

COMMON SENSE: President Trump has paused all aid to Ukraine, including munitions. He has done this until Volodymyr Zelenskyy changes his position on a peace deal. I not only believe this was a wise position for Trump to take, I also consider it to be a necessary one. Let me explain why. Shortly before Trump…

Practice Life

This morning, I was thinking about a conversation I had with my dad, several years ago. It was about the killing of a nurse in Buffalo. The alleged shooter, a surgeon, had served 18 years as a decorated special forces soldier. As we reflected on how tragic the situation was, my dad brought up another…

Do Democrats Have a Future?

Do Democrats Have a Future?

COMMON SENSE: Conservative pundits are telling us that Democrats, because of their repeated sophomoric antics, are certain to lose their base. I don’t believe this is true. Progressives are more committed to their worldview than that. We should realize this from our own example. I’m sure you will remember what happened a year ago. Because…

The Friend Who Calls Us by Name

The Friend Who Calls Us by Name

Sitting in the living room of our temporary apartment, my husband napping on the couch beside me, I thought about how fast this mission trip had gone. We had spoken in different churches, Fred had taught in two Bible schools, and I had spoken at two ladies’ conferences. Fred had also checked on the orphanage.…

  “It’s not what we don’t know that gets us in trouble. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.” Mark Twain There is a guiding principle among government servants, those at the wage grade level, which is “Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see.” Adhering to this…

Zelenskyy Has Been Very Foolish

Zelenskyy Has Been Very Foolish

COMMON SENSE: When someone screws up as badly as Ukraine’s Zelenskyy did today, my father had an expression for it, one he used a thousand times. He would say, “Zelenskyy has sh*t in his own nest.” I have to agree. My dad would have been right. That’s precisely what Zelenskyy did. Reminiscent of an entitled…
