Did we just shoot down some high school kid’s science project?

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane…! Balloons, satellites, various unique aircraft (and now drones) have been used by many nations for decades intended for surveillance, mapping, topography, weather, geological, atmospheric, military, and global strategic purposes – these devices are regularly deployed by developed nations with resources and technology able to support such efforts – forContinue reading “Did we just shoot down some high school kid’s science project?”

Is Our Yes, Actually Yes?

All year, every year there are key political events that trigger challenging and engaging discussions/debates at group or individual levels – these key events range from elections, state of the union address (or commonwealth), tax seasons, national and local level budget/legislative/governance considerations, and SCOTUS judges/cases (just to name a few). These discussions/debates can easily becomeContinue reading “Is Our Yes, Actually Yes?”

Voices tell us all we need to know about positions and platforms.

Avoid voices making points but are really begging for $$$. Consider voices making points for care, or support for those in need. Avoid voices whose livelihood depends on you listening/following. Consider voices whose purpose supports others, not themselves. Avoid voices whose only contribution is parroting points of others. Consider voices that are their own, groundedContinue reading “Voices tell us all we need to know about positions and platforms.”

If its not Biblical or Constitutional… What Exactly is it?

I am no longer shocked by the nonbiblical, unconstitutional rhetoric being preached, taught, and introduced from many protestant churches, religious universities/colleges, and the greater hierarchy of our Christian communities – many of these institutions are embracing political agendas, candidates, and positions to the point of tainting basic Biblical and Constitutional truths for political gain. TheContinue reading “If its not Biblical or Constitutional… What Exactly is it?”

“No Mention of Immigration in the Bible”

I’m heartbroken at the immigration challenge. How far would we go… What effort would we make… What sacrifice would we endure… …if OUR families faced real life-threatening challenges? Most of us have never known violence, hunger, homeless, abuse, or injustice – yet we condemn, shun, and abuse those making every effort to overcome these legitimateContinue reading ““No Mention of Immigration in the Bible””

Good Character is Worth the Consequences

A fool will always be a fool, especially after the election. Why is it a mistake to forsake character when casting our vote? Make no mistake about it – many state and national level politicians openly demonstrate more about themselves and their true character than ever before – the good, bad and the ugly laidContinue reading “Good Character is Worth the Consequences”

“Excuse me Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad!”

Don’t Cross the Streams! “Excuse me Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad!” This classic line from the 1984 film “Ghostbusters” is the perfect illustration of a known and accepted practice that if flipped (depending on your politics) will be either good or bad. The streams that are not traditionally crossed for the purposeContinue reading ““Excuse me Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad!””

To BAIL, or not to BAIL – That is the Question

Our politics are fickle (again) – our obvious political divide continues to cripple our ability to think clearly about issues – but no way will we admit it – we just continue to inexplicitly jump on the many passing bandwagons, as we’re directed to by the talking heads without ever considering disconnects between our outrageContinue reading “To BAIL, or not to BAIL – That is the Question”
