Donald Trump's proposed tariffs and trade policies spark intense debate, reflecting a mix of challenges, controversies, and opportunities. These measures are designed to address critical issues, including illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and economic competition with China. However, they also carry significant risks and unintended consequences. To fully understand the implications, it’s essential to explore both…
As Christian conservatives, we often find ourselves in a tricky spot when talking about misinformation. The Bible reminds us in John 8:32, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." That verse isn’t just about spiritual truth—it’s a reminder that truth matters in every part of our lives, from personal…
In recent developments, Missouri and Ohio have implemented laws addressing issues related to transgender minors, igniting passionate debates about ethics, legality, and the foundational values of our society. These measures touch on deeply personal and often polarizing topics: the protection of children, parental rights, individual freedoms, and the role of the government in mediating between…
By certifying the expansion of abortion access from 15 weeks to the point of "fetal viability," Arizona officials have done more than update a policy—they’ve made a bold statement about where society is heading. I find this shift deeply concerning—not just for the unborn but for the moral fabric of our nation. The Core of…
The Supreme Court has agreed to review the constitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Universal Service Fund (USF), which allocates approximately $8 billion annually to support phone and internet services in schools, libraries, and rural areas. This decision follows a ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that declared the funding mechanism…
As an independent Christian conservative, I approach the past week’s whirlwind of economic news with cautious optimism, a dose of realism, and a firm reliance on biblical principles. The post-election economic surge and the stock market highs are encouraging, but they’re juxtaposed with major layoffs and looming tariff tensions that demand careful scrutiny. Let’s unpack…
In a world where every headline competes for shock value, Delaware’s recent drama over physician-assisted suicide managed to snag its fair share of controversy. The state’s General Assembly passed a bill to legalize the practice for terminally ill patients, but Governor John Carney—despite his Democratic affiliation—put the brakes on it with a veto. Predictably, his…
Well, folks, Delaware has officially bid farewell to the death penalty. Earlier this year, Governor John Carney signed House Bill 70, officially wiping capital punishment off the state’s law books. This move comes eight years after the Delaware Supreme Court found the practice unconstitutional in 2016. As an independent Christian conservative, I can’t help but…
Ah, Thanksgiving. A holiday so rich with tradition, it practically smells like pumpkin pie and roasted turkey. It’s that one day a year where we all come together—not to argue about politics (though Uncle Bob always tries), but to remember what matters most: faith, family, and the simple blessings of life. In our fast-paced, social…
As an independent Christian conservative, I see the events surrounding the war in Ukraine as a sobering reminder of how messy and morally complex geopolitics can be. The Bible tells us in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” But peace doesn’t come from looking the other…
