This combination of photos shows Republican presidential candidates, top row from left, Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former president Donald Trump, and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and bottom row from left, former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Vivek Ramaswamy. With less than a month to go until the first 2024 Republican presidential debate, eight candidates say they have met the qualifications for a podium slot. But that also means that about half of the broad GOP field is running short on time to make the stage. (AP Photo)

The Republican pro-life charade

For nearly 50 years, Roe v Wade was the law of the land, ensuring abortion was legal, accessible and common in the United States. The great political fights over the years were about whether and when a fetus, the code word for baby, was viable in the womb. Unless a baby could live outside the womb, it was argued, it had no right to life.

Former President Donald Trump's decision to back out of Fox News' first GOP primary debate this week likely costs the network a chance at a very large audience for the end of summer. It also tests the network's ability to pivot yet again after what has been a tough year, paying $787 million to settle a defamation lawsuit just as a trial was to begin, and firing popular personality Tucker Carlson shortly after the settlement.

Stop the nonsense: Impeachment as a political tool

On December 18, 2019, Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives. The impeachment was literally based on a third-hand conversation between an intelligence officer working in the White House as an Obama holdover and two men who, shortly after telling their story to the intel officer, took jobs with Adam Schiff, one of the Democrats' chief prosecutors in the impeachment hearings.

Renewable energy policies fueled by lies, pixie dust and your money

I was driving through my childhood home state of Maine on a rainy June day this year when I spotted a large field filled with solar panels. Not 20 minutes later, I noticed another. As I neared my destination, I spotted a third solar field, this one still under construction. "How odd." I thought to myself.

Rockers ‘The Struts’ bring back traditional summer entertainment

Summertime in the United States has traditionally been a time when Americans relax and recharge. Major movie releases have long dotted the summer theater landscape and live concert music-filled venues from coast to coast. COVID-19, however, interrupted that long-established routine and for the better part of three years, those entertainment staples, along with their fans, suffered.

Don’t underestimate Senator Tim Scott’s chances at becoming the GOP’s 2024 nominee

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is running for President of the United States. He is competing with several others for the nomination of the Republican Party. Many in the mainstream media appear to believe it is a forgone conclusion that Donald J. Trump will be the GOP nominee and thus, give little attention to other candidates. This is not only media malpractice, it is a blatant mistake.

Gays are killing Christianity

Most humans on planet Earth believe there is an entity greater than us. They call him God, Allah or a variety of other names, but in general, most folks think there is a good guy up there somewhere bigger than us.

Cans of Bud Light beer are seen on Thursday, Jan. 10, 2019, in Washington. On Friday, April 7, 2023, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly claiming Anheuser-Busch fired its entire marketing department in response to its partnership with a transgender influencer and the rollout of LGBTQ Pride-themed Bud Light cans that feature various pronouns.

Why Bud Light’s transgender ad may have been a good thing

I had an oddly strong interest in politics at a young age. As an eight-year-old, I would argue with my sister on Sunday morning before church because I wanted to watch Face the Nation, inhibiting her ability to see reruns of I Love Lucy.

Donald Trump is slowly and painfully killing the GOP

On Thursday, March 30, the Republican-led House of Representatives passed an energy package dubbed the "Lower Energy Costs Act." It had been given the label HR 1, an indication the GOP majority considered the bill its top priority.

The Catholic Church’s confusing LGBTQ approach

Any organization has to have structure in order to thrive and survive. A business needs a business plan complete with a budget, an expectation of necessary human resources and much more.

Does America actually want socialism?

In the last couple of Presidential elections, many of the pollsters were embarrassingly off the mark in their read of the American public. One pollster, however, has put together an amazing run. After proving to be America's most accurate national poll in the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, IBD/TIPP did it again in 2020. IBD/TIPP has now been the most accurate in each of the last five presidential election cycles.

But the economy is hardly in the clear. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File)

Worldwide recession? Where should investors look?

Predictions for the world economy for 2023 are not good. Nearly all economic experts expect an economic recession to engulf the civilized world, causing hardship and new challenges, just as things had begun to recover from the ravages of COVID-19. No one is spared, not Europe, not Asia and not the United States. The only area of disagreement seems to be how deep and how long the recession will be.

Actions have consequences except in Joe Biden’s America

Growing up in yesteryear America, there was any number of simple phrases intended to teach personal responsibility. "Save up for a rainy day" and "work hard to get ahead" were among them. The American dream itself was built on the notion that every American had the opportunity to create a better life for himself or herself and for his or her family.

American media’s embarrassingly self righteous coverage of the World Cup

Soccer isn't the most popular sport in the United States. In fact, it's not even close. Football, baseball and basketball dominate the television viewing habits of Americans. The NFL's Super Bowl is America's largest annual television event with an audience of more than 110 million people each year.
