Leadership is a difficult thing. No matter how good a person is at serving others, leading by example, doing the right thing even when others think it is wrong, having good character, being a good decisionmaker, and so on, leadership has its price.

They seem to be publicly trying one to out-socialist the other—something that concerns the immediate past president. The former president warned the stable of socialist candidates at a fundraiser of leftist donors…
Read MoreSelf-evident rebellion and sin
Despite the negative punches shelled out each day by his critics, did you know that President Trump is as popular at this point in his term as was his predecessor? Rasmussen Reports is the only pollster that has continued its daily tracking of presidential job approval ratings—AND—Rasmussen was one of the few polling companies that…
Read MoreNow for the noise
The hill is alive with the sounds of impeachment. Everywhere you turn, except sports stations, you’re going to hear the clanging cymbals of this analyst or that, this so-called journalist or that, this deep-stater or that, pontificating about the latest testimony.
