The Issue: Tennessee’s two-time failed execution of convicted murderer Christa Pike. Convicted murderer Christa Pike survived a botched execution (“Injected new life into killer,” Oct. 2). She should now...
Back in the 1960s, when the Vietnam War was raging, a familiar scenario played out in small towns. During election years, you’d see a “Nixon’s the One!” sign planted right next door to a “McGovern for President” banner. Neighbors would be mowing the grass around their respective slogans, stop to wipe their brows, and wave […]
“Pastor Scudder, why do you talk so much about Israel?” a young lady recently asked. “It’s quite simple” I replied. “From Israel came what is most important to me.” This question seems to be on the minds of many people today. Should Christians support Israel? My answer is an unequivocal “yes.” The reason our church […]
I hold both the Republican and Democratic parties in contempt as an independent voter and 100% disabled combat-wounded Marine veteran for allowing the country I fought for in Vietnam to justify the existence of the radical socialist parties such as the Democratic Socialists of America. Under the “presidencies” of Barack Obama and Joe Biden that […]
What should come first, national security policy, or trade policy? This is an old debate, and one that should never paralyze a nation such as America. The Trump administration has actually made incredible progress thus far to protect and grow American industry. Well-structured and carefully thought-out trade initiatives have resulted in thousands of jobs being […]
Six years ago, while still legally a child, Olivia Rodrigo left her career as a Disney Channel actress with the intent of becoming a pop star. This is a tale as old as time, or at least as venerable as Annette Funicello’s singing career, and the blueprint for success is well understood: sign with a […]
Student loan borrowers are scrambling to make sense of changing rules that will soon affect their ability to take on more debt, as well as their options to pay back what they owe. Depending on your view of higher education, this serves as either a petty blow to lower-income individuals trying to pay for their […]
Fraud is as least as old as the Trojan War, when Zeus, in a dream, promised swift victory to Agamemnon were he to blitz Troy that day. This was a promise Zeus had no intention of honoring, which kind of set the fraudulent tone for the rest of the war. These days, the gods of […]
The question my non-Jewish friends and acquaintances have most often asked me about Jews is: Why are so many Jews Democrats? I’ve always answered as a Jewish conservative living among the Jewish Democratic majority. However, NewsNation’s Batya Ungar-Sargon offers an insider’s take in her new book, The Jews and the Left. Ungar-Sargon, who’s dubbed herself […]
The newest answer to death does not come from a church, synagogue, or mosque, but from software — and soon, perhaps, a subscription plan. Earlier this month, the Associated Press reported on grieving families in South Korea using AI-generated videos to hear messages from deceased relatives. The technology is not yet a sustained conversation, though […]
June’s Democratic primaries proved that voters are comfortable supporting brash candidates, once-niche ideas, and untested policies. Their personal feelings on these matters tell a different story. A June survey of likely general election voters in Maine found only 44% of them agreeing that Graham Planter, the state’s soon-to-not-be Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, has “good […]
We live in the Golden Age of the internet. The cost of internet connectivity is at a historic low, and the Trump administration is only continuing to auction off more government-controlled broadband access to the private sector. The Federal Communications Commission will soon vote on auctioning 160 megahertz of spectrum in the Upper C-Band next […]
