Never too late to do the right thing
The Washington Examiner’s Tim Pearce wrote a December 6 story about “several moderate Democratic House representatives” voicing concerns about going forward with impeaching President Donald Trump because of “political consequences.” There are several things wrong about this story. First, these Democratic congressmen are public officials. They should not be allowed to appear in stories as…
Read MoreOfficials looking for terror “link” in Pensacola shootings, what?
FOX News reports that “the gunman who opened fire Friday morning at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola Florida…has been identified as an aviation student from Saudi Arabia as investigators are looking into whether the attack is terrorism-related.” Ask anybody involved whether the shooting that left three dead and seven others injured possibly could be terror-related.…
Read MoreWriter’s block and motivation to serve
My son and I were having a conversation the other night about writing. He loves to write. Takes after his dad. We were talking about writing on deadline and how to get motivated to write. He said that when he has specific assignments, such as pre-determined page lengths, it is more difficult for him to…
Read MoreDeceiving and being deceived
Many different news reports are characterizing the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment. Depending on which news organization reporting, the President is either the worst violator of high crimes and misdemeanors in American history, or not. After reading the report, it takes an extraordinary imagination to conclude that this impeachment “inquiry” report is anything more than a…
Read MoreSmelling a rat
In my early days, I was an award-winning investigative journalist. The awards came after having to convince my editors that there was a story when they just couldn’t see it (or as I later learned about their leftist ideals, they didn’t want to see it). But my God-given instincts were far more often than not,…
Read MoreAmerican teen combats human trafficking in Ghana
In April, The Daily Jot wrote a series of articles about the devastating impact of human trafficking from the lens of our Ghana ministry in the rural areas where Islam practices its long-established trade of stealing land and people for profit. Ours was the case of a young lady being lured into sex slavery and child…
Read MoreThe perils of socialism in American youth
There is a story out of Boca De Uchire, Venezuela about a priest leading prayers for college students in the university courtyard. Some 15 minutes into the ceremony, five of the students had fainted for lack of food and two of them had been taken away in ambulances. The socialist state of Venezuela is failing…
Read MoreOf Truth and Thanksgiving
Note: I want to share with you some of my heritage which has become part of the heritage of America. My grandfather 13 generations back was William Bradford, co-writer of the Mayflower Compact, inventor of the free market system, and governor of the Plymouth colony for over 30 years. I would like to share some…
Read MoreThe revisionist Thanksgiving
Across the United States, Americans are preparing for the holiday of Thanksgiving, except that many do not know exactly why we celebrate this wonderful day, and many others believe it is a day of sorrow. Anything in American culture that would portray people in a reverent and humble position toward God Almighty is subject to…
Read MoreThe failed 1620 socialist experiment
My grandfather 13 generations back was William Bradford, co writer of the Mayflower Compact and eventual leader of the Pilgrims who came to America on the Mayflower in 1620. There were some 102 passengers and about 30 crewmen on that ship that braved horrible weather, disease, and other hardships to come to this new place…
