There Are Taxes, And Then There Are Taxes
Most people know that Tennessee, where I now live, has no income tax. It’s wonderful. But they do have a significant value-added (sales) tax. It is just a half-percent less than what I used to live with in L.A. and much more widely applied. …
Lost…In Emotional Reaction Without Empathy
Gavin Newsom’s poll numbers are rising as he turns, not so slowly, into a troll – just taking 160-character swipes at pretty much anything Republican. Democrats seem to be eating it up. It would be pathetic if it were not so consequential. A…
If Trump Does It – It Must Be Dastardly
At least that seems to be the case in certain newsrooms (do they still exist?) these days. I keep seeing stories about perfectly normal actions by this administration written as if said actions were so nefarious, so awful, that they threatened…
The Power of Prayer
Consider carefully what follows. I John 5:14-15: This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked…
Lines Crossed – The Hugh Hewitt Show
I do not know what’s worse – that a United States Senator would quote anything so vile about religion generally or that a United States Senator would quote a 16-year-old as authoritative – on anything. Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota quotes…

California Is At War With The Rest Of The Nation
It is more than just Gavin Newsom ineffectively trolling Trump at every opportunity. On every level possible, California is trying to override the express will of the nation – as expressed in the last election. And it is not merely…
When Liberal Fantasy Turns Deadly
Everybody has been talking a lot lately about how liberals are unwilling to face reality. From the fantasy of a “renewable energy world” to denying the fact that it takes a man and a woman to procreate the species to the fact that they got…
Fights We Don’t Need – The Hugh Hewitt Show
“Sidney Sweeney” is no longer the name of a youthful and beautiful actress/model. It has become a punchline – the joke being seeing a cultural bug-a-boo around every corner. Conservatives need to avoid the same trap. Liberals can’t help…
From Despair Comes Hope – The Hugh Hewitt Show
There are times when I marvel at what mankind is capable of – acts so despicable, so evil that you tend to think the perpetrator is something other than human. But they are not; they are most human – they are humanity unfettered from the…
