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…
Read MoreIs 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…
Read MoreThe 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…

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…

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.

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.…

Read MoreZelenskyy 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…
Read MoreCan I Give God All?
I am going to start by answering this question. Yes! If the Lord said that we can, or if He gives us a commandment to do so, then He knows that it is possible. It is our thinking and obedience that needs to change. It simply comes down to what we choose to focus our…

Just a few days removed from the Presidential inauguration, and just days away from the Superbowl, there is excitement in our nation. The tide of Socialism has been halted, and America once again has hope. Outside the public eye, two defenses are being planned. One is against the twelve men of the Kansas City Chiefs…
