“Trickle-down Trump” will have far reaching positive effects throughout the United States, and eventually the world A frend recently sent me an article concerning a couple of British city councils that will be handing out “gender pronoun badges” in celebration of “Trans Day of Visibility,” March 31. Council and voluntary sector staff…will be “encouraged” to wear the badges, which include messages such as “My pronouns are she/her/hers” and “My pronouns are they/their/theirs” “…Some prefer to use other gender-neutral pronouns such as ‘xe’, ‘ze’, or ‘sie’”

They just don't. In my high school years, I was Richie Cunningham. The earnest young boy from "Happy Days" who always was looking to please others, especially the adults in his life. As a result, we were walked all over, taken advantage of and subsequently, not dated by girls. Now Richie Cunningham might have had a girlfriend or two during the fictitious "Happy Days" run but in my real-life Richie Cunningham phase, I had zero girlfriends. I did have several dates that went disastrously wrong because I thought dating was all about being a nice guy. It wasn't. During that...

OU DON'T KNOW GEORGE LIKE I KNOW GEORGE Bucharest, Hungary-Since the heady days of the 1968 Democrat Convention in Chicago, and even earlier when their activities were directed from Lubyanka Street in Moscow under the Soviet regime, the political left has gained power not by what they call “protest,” which it never was, but through violence, deception, burning down cities, brainwashing and agitation-propaganda, the invention we call “political correctness,” and by changing the meaning of words to stifle free speech and opinion. Mostly by embellishing the meaning of “is.” They continue to use the mechanisms described above, albeit their disinformation...

Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing since he was removed from the bench for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom wall. Please read the poem he wrote. The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama. Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama! The judge's poem sums it up quite well...

Obama won. Weak opponent. Weak campaign. But there is a huge change happening in American society that will dominate future politics and elections. America was once a rural and conservative society. After some change American became a more urban a and politically balanced society. Then the growth of suburban America led to a couple of decades of more conservative society. But inevitably, America is becoming a more and more urban society. The majority of the population lives in vast metropolitan areas. In urban society, humans, living in close proximity to others, are forced to control their lives to minimize negative...

Last April, The Heritage Foundation released a WebMemo titled "The Dirty Dozen: 12 New Policies That Undermine Civil Society."[1] Seven months later, many of these policies being advocated by Congress and the President have moved closer to becoming law. In addition, several new issues have emerged that deserve illumination. Taken as a whole, these policies serve to undermine traditional families, devalue life and human dignity, and weaken civil society in American life. National PolicyMassive Expansion of the Welfare State. Within his first two years in office, President Obama will have increased spending on means-tested programs for the poor by 30...

The most troubling aspect of international security for the United States is not the killing power of our immediate enemies, which remains modest in historical terms, but our increasingly effete view of warfare. The greatest advantage our opponents enjoy is an uncompromising strength of will, their readiness to “pay any price and bear any burden” to hurt and humble us. As our enemies’ view of what is permissible in war expands apocalyptically, our self-limiting definitions of allowable targets and acceptable casualties—hostile, civilian and our own—continue to narrow fatefully. Our enemies cannot defeat us in direct confrontations, but we appear determined...

English Language Bill Will Unify America and Take Our Nation Back By Kevin Fobbs May 17, 2005 When the founding fathers decided to use their collective wisdom to create the United States of America, I am quite sure that they did not feel it necessary to specifically define English as the official language for our nation. To them it was an absolute no-brainer. Just as it was also assumed that marriage was between a man and a woman; that is, Adam and Eve -- not Adam and Steve. But like most time-held traditions of our nation, English as the unspoken...

Former Speaker Newt Gingrich said Tuesday that he thought Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Democrat of New York, would be her party's presidential nominee in 2008 and that she would be "very formidable." He said she might even win. Mr. Gingrich, a Republican, was addressing the American Society of Newspaper Editors here and was asked if he might challenge her for president in 2008. He did not answer that question, but it was clear he had been watching her. "Senator Clinton is very competent, very professional, very intelligently moving toward the center, very shrewdly and effectively serving on the Armed Services...

VATICAN CITY (AP) - In his latest blunt assessment of U.S. society, Pope John Paul II on Friday denounced the acceptance of abortion and same-sex unions as ``self-centered demands'' erroneously depicted as human rights. The pontiff said that ``in the face of such erroneous yet pervasive thinking,'' visiting U.S. bishops should stress to congregations ``their special responsibility for evangelizing culture and promoting Christian values in society and public life.'' ``Rights are at times reduced to self-centered demands: the growth of prostitution and pornography in the name of adult choice, the acceptance of abortion in the name of women's rights, the...
