Learning The Hard Way – The Hugh Hewitt Show
I became a regular, as opposed to occasional, listener of The Hugh Hewitt Show on 9-11. The host speaks with embarrassment of the job he did that day, but I searched all of media as events unfolded and he was the only one that 1) was willing to…
God and Expectations – The Hugh Hewitt Show
Palm Sunday – the beginning of Holy Week. We usually look at Holy Week with the end of it in mind and it all shines with the hope of salvation and resurrection. But suppose you were one of the people that laid palm fronds in Jesus’s path as He…
When The Doomsaying Dies, Up The Ante!
Some people never give up. Climate change doomsaying virtually disappeared the day Donald Trump took office. Why? Well, that’s simple – the money dried up. Without government money, nobody wants an E.V. Manufacturers are backing out in a…

Service and Sacrifice – The Hugh Hewitt Show
Salena Zito, yesterday, on HotAir, “It points to an even larger problem, not just on Capitol Hill but among reporters and civilians. Our relationship and understanding of our military, and military families, is broken.” What lies at the heart…
“I’m Glad”
The title of this post is quoting the president’s response on the news of Robert Mueller’s death. It is characteristically Trumpian in both its callousness and its blunt honesty. It has been widely criticized and condemned. I am…
