Waterboarding is tactic designed to simulate the drowning of a person without the actual drowning occurring. Waterboarding causes the person to feel all of the effects of drowning as water is inhaled through the nose and mouth and into the sinuses, pharynx, larynx, and trachea lungs. The Democrats and the mainstream liberal media had impressed upon…
During a recent lull in the news media, there was a push noted that there must be a change in the face that graces the ten-dollar bill and/or the twenty-dollar bill. Of those mentioned include Susan B. Anthony, Helen Keller, and even Rosa Parks. Let’s run down who are currently on the monetary bills and what each have accomplished.…

I want to spend some time to talk about the involvement of government in the private sector. Of course, the first thing you may be thinking about is the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which is the absolutely worst possible name to have called this act. In fact, it should be called the Unaffordable Care Act…
I remember years ago when I was in ninth grade. Our junior high school was about to become a middle school as the ninth grade would move into the high school the following year. As a result, this would be the final year that the junior high would have a marching band. I was the…
“I believe that marriage is not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman. I have had occasion in my life to defend marriage, to stand up for marriage, to believe in the hard work and challenge of marriage. So, I take umbrage at anyone who might suggest that those…
The modern-day telephone. Not much of a phone but more of a computer. I remember many years ago when I was in middle school. There was this girl, Vicki, who I wanted so badly to call for the first time. She was so pretty and smart and, most importantly, acknowledged my existence. And, we passed paper…
During the week of January 19, 2015, New York City, Boston, and the rest of the Northeast prepared for a blizzard which hit on the night of January 26th. Before the storm even began, it had been termed the “Blizzard of 2015”. That is amazing because usually a storm is called a blizzard during or…
Dear Jesus, I am so thankful for all that you have provided to me and my family and those around me. You have blessed me with so many gifts that I have taken for granted. You have provided my family with a home, even though it seems like we have been spending so much money…
Unless you have completely isolated yourself from current events, you have certainly heard about two recent Grand Jury decisions to not indict Darren Wilson (who shot Michael Brown) and Daniel Pantaleo (who was one of several officers who brought down Eric Garner). While both incidents resulted in tragic deaths, the cause of each incident is…
During one of my excessively long drives to work from home or to home from work (it just seems like it is just one long commute these days), I noticed a license plate for a pioneer Colorado resident (must be a very old resident since Colorado became a state in 1876). And, that got me…
Oh, I remember the days when I turned 14 years old, when I was brought to the Department of Motor Vehicles and received my driving permit. It was a glorious day! Now I was able to learn to drive my mother’s 15-passenger van, aka scare my mother to death as she held on for dear life.…
Like most of America, I have been closely watching the outbreak of Ebola in Africa and in the USA. I have been extremely frustrated with the incompetence shown by the Obama Administration and the Center of Disease and Control. What a joke! It really makes me wonder who is in charge of our nation because…
Unless you have been living under a rock, something is happening in Ferguson, Missouri, that will affect your Constitutional rights. There have been riots stemming from the death at the hands of a single police office. Based upon numerous eye-witnesses, Michael Brown turned on an officer and was shot several times in self-defense. This wouldn’t be…
An article was released this weekend that really bothered me. I mean, the push of atheism has been going on for decades. According to this article, a statue was donated to the school by a private group which the displayed the phrase “Home of the Red Raiders” along with two Bible verses which are “absolutely deplorable”: “If…
I remember many years ago a simpler time. Each summer in late July, my family would camp out at the West Liberty Fair. I think it is now called the Muscatine County Fair. This far wasn’t big by any means but when you are under eight years old, everything seemed bigger than life. I had two brothers…
