Until recently I had never heard of the bone-cave harvestman, which as it turns out is a little spider that lives almost exclusively in Williamson County, Texas and is listed by the Feds as “endangered.”
Pick your own analogy, but the U.S. immigration system is worse than broken. It can be fixed, but politicians from both parties refuse to do it.
Since the triumph of Apollo, we have not stopped exploring. America has sent probes to explore every planet from Mercury to Pluto, and even out into interstellar space.
The Mueller investigation is over. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has met with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Some say the time is right for a thaw in U.S.-Russian relations. This is wishful thinking.
The recent “Peace to Prosperity” U.S.-led economic workshop in Bahrain illustrated that presidential adviser Jared Kushner is not the only one who believes an economic pathway is “the precondition to resolving a previously unsolvable political situation.”
Sen. Kamala D. Harris of California was languishing in the Democratic presidential race until she pointed out that former Vice President Joseph R. Biden was a fool for having the same position on school busing that she has.
President Donald Trump promised survivors of religious persecution who visited the Oval Office yesterday that he will forever support them in their attempts to secure religious freedom.
For years, the left has claimed to be the party of science, while casting religious conservatives as ignorant, superstitious louts.
NBC network COZI TV just played Season 2, Episode 20 of “Little House on the Prairie,” the one titled the “Centennial” — and boy, what a face-slapping reality check of how far our country has strayed, in the span of about 40 years, from its moral, political and cultural compasses. Particularly, pertaining to immigration.
Well, moms, dads and sweeties everywhere, there are signs that a new D.C. sheriff is in town, and her name is Muriel Bowser, but the name on her badge is "Sheriff Snitch." That's right, snitching of gun owners will become as vogue-ish as hashtags if Mayor Bowser turns her passion to rid the city of illegal guns into a reasonable policy.
A funny thing about politics today. The Democratic Party's presidential candidates are sprinting left as fast as Michael Johnson in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics — desperate, they seem to be, to pander to a liberal base clamoring for "free" college, "free" health care, open borders along the Rio Grande, and an apparently gender-less, or at best, "gender fluid" world. (Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts recently helpfully informed her 2.8 million Twitter followers that her preferred pronouns are "She/her." Now if only she were similarly clear on the matter of her ethnic heritage.)
Like any nation, America has its problems. Yet it remains arguably the greatest nation ever, a nation founded on a set of values and ideals that continue to attract immigrants from all over the world. And while not all of the Founders were Christian, many were devout believers who embraced Christian values and a biblical understanding of human nature. They understood the seductive danger of concentrating too much power in too few hands. Through their sacrifice and wisdom, they left us a nation known for its liberty and its guarantee of freedom.
With a trip to Israel already approved by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Reps. Tlaib and Omar, the two anti-Israel members of the House of Representatives, it would be edifying if and when the itinerary is made public. Certainly the American taxpayer will be confronted by the trip cost to the tune of thousands, if not hundred of thousands, of dollars for luxurious accommodations, costly security and miscellaneous gratuities.
Now, with the announcement of several new hires and roles within the organization, the extent of Leonsis' unconventional thinking is clear: He didn't just want a new builder to lead the front office. He wanted a totally new blueprint for the front office.
Donald Trump went through the toughest career boot camp in the world half a century before he turned to politics.
The great George Foreman once said boxing is like jazz -- the better it is, the less people understand it. If that is the case, Pernell Whitaker was Miles Davis. He practiced the science in the sweet science, the part that is most misunderstood and unappreciated, the lost art of defense -- not getting hit while delivering punches.
