Our music leader announced the first hymn for the "Let's turn to hymn 666." she said. Everybody broke out in laughter since 666 is the well-known "mark of the beast" in the book of Revelation. I remembered another music leader announcing the same hymn, but he said, "Let's turn to hymn 667 and go back one!" It seems that our hymnal publisher would've left page 666 vacant like buildings skip floor 13 in their elevators. John the Revelator wrote about a charismatic leader who would beguile the nati...

President Trump, and America, dodged a bullet Saturday. While speaking before an estimated crowd of 15,000 in Pennsylvania, President Donald J. Trump was shot and wounded in the right ear. Video shows him grabbing his ear, then ducking behind the podium for cover as the Secret Service rushed to cover him. He then stood up, ordered the Secret Service to “wait, wait, wait,” then turned to the crowd, raised his fist defiantly, signaled he was okay, and said what appeared to be “Fight! Fight! Fight...

This is the case over the alleged mishandling of classified information. Judge Cannon ruled that special counsel Jack Smith was not lawfully appointed.

The Republican National Convention opened on Monday with President Donald J. Trump (R) having just survived an assassination attempt on Saturday. Trump will be the Republican nominee for President of the United States for the third consecutive time. If the assassin's bullet had been one and a half inches to the right, the GOP delegates would have been meeting in Milwaukee today without a candidate. Fortunately, that did not happen. Trump will announce his running mate today. The finalists are...
In a significant and expected victory for former President Donald Trump, U.S. District in Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the case against him concerning his handling of classified documents. This ruling, which strikes down all 37 felony counts stemming from special counsel Jack Smith’s probe, is a vindication for Trump and a blow to the ongoing lawfare against him. From the beginning, this case reeked of political motivations. It was never about justice but about weaponizing the legal s...
I’ve never understood why Donald Trump seems to attract such a level of hatred and vitriol. There is nothing unusual about political candidates being vilified by opponents, but after an election or a term in office, the level of animosity usually subsides, and attacks focus on policy decisions and not as much on personality. I experienced some hostilities when I was a Republican presidential elector in 2016. It was my 4th time to be an elector from Alabama, so it was out of the ordinary when a...

Naming J.D. Vance as his Vice-Presidential running mate shows that Donald J. Trump is serious about the reindustrialization of America. Vance brings many strengths to the ticket, but the author of ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ understands full well the crippling results of off shoring our industry. He grew up in what he describes as “an Ohio steel town that has been hemorrhaging jobs and hope for as long as I can remember.” Vance is intimately familiar with the plight of the industry-poor Rust Belt. H...

It is an absolute disgrace that our nation’s premier security agencies—Secret Service and Homeland Security—allowed a potential assassin to get within striking distance of President Donald Trump. This is not just a lapse in security; it is a catastrophic failure that ended in tragedy and could have easily been much worse. The American people deserve answers, and we need them now. How did it come to pass that someone armed with a rifle managed to take eight shots from a perfect vantage point that...
Last week Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) joined a coalition of 24 state attorneys general in opposing the Biden administration's latest overreach into the laundry rooms of middle-class Americans.

Marshall and the other AGs warn that Biden's regulations will only make it more expensive to purchase new washing machines continuing to...
