Will conservatives ever get in the fight?

When President Trump won the election, the left went nuts, and it wasn't just the crazy far-left activists who lost it. Liberals en masse have used boycott pressure to push corporations to do their will. When will conservatives give these left-leaning companies a taste of their own medicine?

In this July 12, 2016 photo, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence joins Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Westfield, Ind. Over the past two decades, Trump has disagreed with his vice-presidential pick on plenty of political issues, including immigration policy, entitlement programs and trade.

Trump has historic opportunity on budget, entitlements

In less than three weeks, President Trump will address a joint session of Congress. He is expected to offer up his thoughts on taxes and spending, and while the markets have rallied since his election on the expectation of major tax reform, the question on everyone's mind is, will he also take the opportunity to acknowledge the possibility of serious entitlement reform?

Soros-infected State Department plays political games in Albania

Any move by a U.S. diplomat meant to support only one party over another in a foreign country is anti-democratic, un-American and inconsistent with what the United States stands for. Creating a captive justice system for one party is the exact opposite of what was intended by Albania's judicial reforms.

Do you know yourself?

While driving near campus the other day, I noticed a student who was obviously visually impaired. I could tell he was panicked as he continued to walk in the same circle over again, unable to get his bearings and figure out where he was.

American Heart Month: Take good care of your ticker

Keeping our heart healthy and strong at every age is indeed as the American Heart Association underscores, "what we all need to take to heart." February is designated American Heart Month, dedicated to cardiovascular health and raising awareness about heart disease.

Attacks on American liberty must be countered

What does it mean for a country to have a presidential adviser say, as Steve Bannon is reported to have said last summer, that he aims to "blow everything up" and "destroy the existing social and political order?" It means uncertainty.

U.S. Senate Chaplain Dr. Barry Black full remarks at National Prayer Breakfast (Screen-shot from C-SPAN video embedded below)

Two highlights from the National Prayer Breakfast

Two highlights from the National Prayer Breakfast are better seen the read. First, the Christian band Mercy Me performed "I Can Only Imagine," with a brief and moving word of testimony given by lead singer Bart Millard just before the song. Then, Barry Black, U.S. Senate Chaplain, delivered the keynote address--and "brought the roof down."

Air Force Academy has leadership problem

I recently wrote an article on my shock, during my 30th reunion at the U.S. Air Force Academy, at the lack of discipline and training and how the academy no longer is focused on training warriors. "This is no longer a military academy, it's UCLA in uniforms," I wrote.

It's a German mid-size sedan that meets the American standard of an easy price tag with plenty of bells and whistles. The 2017 Volkswagen Passat delivers a large trunk for hauling, plenty of room inside for all the passengers and a quiet, easy ride.

Behind White House denials, a Trumpian deal with Russia takes shape

I listened with curiosity to the news Thursday that sanctions on the Russian security services had been "eased" by the Trump administration. White House press secretary Sean Spicer described it as a "routine" course of events in the oversight of sanctions by the Treasury Department. I highly doubt that explanation. I think what we're seeing is that an archetypal Trump "deal" is in the works.
