News About Food Consumption Trends You Won’t Find Depressing

New research analyzing 26 studies conducted in Europe, involving 150,278 people, is further proof that there is definitely something to the notion of a connection between food and mood. The new study was published in the current issue of the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health and found that people who consumed the most fish […]

 

A New Definition for Better Living Through Chemistry

Although I have had an interest in the subjects of health and fitness my entire life, I never pretend to be an expert on nutrition or physiology, or to understand the complexity of the science behind these subjects. However, it seems that when we look at either of these subjects at a basic level, it […]

 



Youth Vote Is Key to 2016 and Saving America

Barack Obama was ushered into the Oval Office by a wave of young supporters and first-time voters in 2008. However, they are now among those most disillusioned with Obama and his regime, and they are the ticket to winning the 2016 presidential election and preserving the heart and soul of our republic. Politico recently posted […]

 

My Top 10 Resolutions for the New Congress (Part 2)

With the 114th U.S. Congress having launched Jan. 3, it’s time we the people step up and hold our representatives’ political feet to the fire in order to see real, demonstrable change that will heal and improve our country, especially during these last two critical years of Barack Obama’s presidency. Last week, I gave my […]

Church Gets the Boot by County Government

My wife, Gena, and I discovered this past week that in her small mountain hometown in Plumas County, California, our pastor’s church was kicked out of the county building it had been renting for Sunday church services. What’s disgusting is that the eviction is engulfed in political moves to stop the church from meeting there. […]

 

The Rest Of The ‘Unbroken’ Story (Part 2)

Last week, I began to explain the spiritual power behind World War II prisoner of war hero Louis Zamperini, whose amazing life is retold in the movie “Unbroken.” This week, I want to discuss what his adult children are saying about how his faith is portrayed in the movie and give further details to show […]

 

The Rest Of The ‘Unbroken’ Story

On Dec. 25, the unforgettable story about Louis Zamperini, an Olympian turned World War II prisoner of war hero, opens in theaters nationwide. As astoundingly resilient as Zamperini was, however, his real power was found in a fact underplayed in the movie; namely, he whose birth we celebrate Dec. 25 is the one responsible for […]

 

Masters of Deceptive Persuasion

Democrats are the masters of deceptive persuasion, meaning they will take our attention off something they have really screwed up and put it on something that’s not quite so bad. And chief among those masters is he who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C. For example, let’s look at the bumbling idiot Jonathan […]

 


Miller’s Model: A Solution for Ferguson

  For days, nearly every news media outlet has been consumed with the Ferguson fallout. From coast to coast, pundits and populations have been debating the efficacy of justice and demonstrations. But maybe a true solution for Ferguson — and every other social skirmish like it — can only be found in changing the narrative. […]

 




California Forces Churches to Fund Abortions

First, the mayor of Houston flagrantly violated clergy’s First Amendment rights, when she subpoenaed sermons, and she still refuses to rescind her mandate. And now California government officials are forcing churches and other faith-based organizations to fund abortions. What’s next? Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), the California Department of Managed Health Care […]

 

Houston, We Have a (1st Amendment) Problem!

It all started in September, when Houston Mayor Annise Parker and City Attorney David Feldman issued an “overly broad” subpoena for the sermons of select ministers who opposed the city’s equal rights ordinance. Because of intense national opposition from even Texas’ attorney general, this past Wednesday, Parker and Feldman appeared to recant or at least […]

 

Even Libs Say No to Hillary in 2016

Last week, Hillary Clinton returned to Iowa for the first time since her 2008 presidential campaign loss, saying, “I’m back.” She continued: “It’s true. I’ve been thinking about it,” referring to another run in 2016. But the truth is that even many of her esteemed liberal cronies think it’s a bad idea. I know that […]

 

America at the Tipping Point (Part 3)

The CIA reported this past Thursday that the number of Islamic State fighters is actually three times what previous government estimates were, according to Fox News. A spokesperson for the intelligence agency explained that the radical Islamic group boasts between 20,000 and 31,500 fighters across Iraq and Syria. Those numbers fly in the face of […]

 

America at the Tipping Point (Part 2)

We said on 9/11 that we’d “never forget.” But when our president has a no-strategy strategy for stopping Islamic extremists, isn’t Washington sidestepping our commitment of remembrance, in addition to its duty to protect our land and liberties? Indeed, Washington mocks those who gave their lives on that day that changed America by the fact […]

 

America at the Tipping Point (Part 1)

Is history going to repeat itself? I recently read the book “The Miracle of Freedom: 7 Tipping Points That Saved the World,” by Chris Stewart and Ted Stewart. The Stewarts describe how radical Islam came within a hair’s breadth of taking over the world. As I read that chapter and reflected upon my recent columns […]

 

Obama, the Islamic State and Christian Crucifixions (Part 2)

Last week, I built a case for how the Islamic State’s monstrous brutalities include the summary killing of men, women and children, including by crucifixion. That was before the world heard of the beheading of courageous U.S. journalist James Foley, which demonstrated just how psychotic and cruel the Islamic State is. Today I will build […]

 

Obama, the Islamic State and Christian Crucifixions (Part 1)

Pundits and news agencies have questioned the validity of reports that the Islamic State is beheading children in its conquest of Syria and Iraq. But there is one fact that can’t be contested: The Sunni-dominated al-Qaida splinter group is on a war rampage using some of the most heinous and barbaric means to exterminate anyone […]

 

How Obama’s Leadership Cripples America (Part 2)

In 2008, Americans appointed a president they expected to unify the country, lift the oppressed and restore America’s economy and relations in the world. But almost halfway through his second term in office, Americans are more polarized, and the oppressed are more hamstrung. And our country is more unstable than ever among the global community; […]

 

Obama’s Greatest Flaw, America’s Greatest Cost (Part 1)

I’m not a psychologist, but I’m intrigued by the work of those who study the mind and behavior, especially when it accurately explains why people do what they do — or can’t do what they would like or are expected to do. Case in point, President Barack Obama. In 2008, I wrote a column titled […]

 




Declaration Of Arms Before Independence

Most everyone knows about America’s 1776 Declaration of Independence. But did you know that on July 6 a year earlier, Congress initiated a Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms? It’s true. According to History, on July 6, 1775, just a day after our Founding Fathers issued their Olive Branch Petition to […]
