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. Published July 19, 2023

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. Published June 23, 2023

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. Published June 8, 2023

Cans of Bud Light beer are seen on Thursday, Jan. 10, 2019, in Washington.

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. Published April 20, 2023

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. Published April 3, 2023

Biden is killing America’s love affair with cars

Americans have long had a love affair with the personal automobile. A car isn't merely transportation. In American culture, it is a statement of who a person is and what they value. Published March 6, 2023

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. Published January 20, 2023

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. Published January 17, 2023

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. Published December 11, 2022

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. Published November 23, 2022

Open letter to Donald Trump

The seeds of misinformation about next week's 2022 midterm elections were planted in 2020. That's when baseless conspiracy theories about the presidential election took root and festered, helping to spur the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Despite efforts by tech companies to slow their spread, misleading claims about mail ballots, vote tallying and certification never went away. (AP Photo/Ben Gray, File)

Final prediction for control of the U.S. Senate

The Executive Branch is made up of the President and the various departments and divisions that fall under his authority. The Judicial Branch interprets the Constitution and its application to all phases of American living. Federal Judges and Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the US Senate. Published November 4, 2022
