The California Nightmare – The Hugh Hewitt Show
I hope you are following the story of the Palisades fire last January in Los Angeles. We are in this space, but I worry that many of you tune out thinking I am just obsessed with justifying my decision to leave the state. Nothing could be…
Gratitude Is What Makes America Great
Yesterday I hinted that socialism might be a Christian ideal, but that it was impossible to execute until everyone was on the Christian bandwagon. I have been a lot of places and seen a lot of socialism, there is one single reason why it just…
Politics…Imagined
It has disappeared almost as fast as it sprang into the discussion, but the video from veteran Democratic persons in Congress, telling members of the military they did not need to follow unlawful orders bears further discussion. (I had to…
