The title for this post is one for our older Bereans that remember Dan Quayle’s debate with Lloyd Bentsen in the 1988 vice-presidential debate. Yet the real purpose of this post is to stop the disparagement of Jimmy Carter by comparing Joe Biden with him. As the nation sinks deeper into an inflationary morass, with […]

A bipartisan group of twenty U.S. Senators have a broad agreement on legislation in response to mass shootings in America. Opposition from the left and right still exists, and a legislative recess looms, but Congress seems poised to pass the most significant reforms in this area since the Clinton Administration. The framework is still just […]

One of the things that absolutely amazes me about the Biden Administration is the steadfast refusal to change course when they do the wrong thing–instead they double down! And say all sorts of ridiculous things that harm them politically. It’s as if they have a death wish; not only to be a one-term administration, but […]

From One Bad Actor to Another–we have to do anything but produce oil in the United States

It is really unbelievable. I am quite serious when I say this–I have been stunned by the suicidal political instincts of the Biden Administration and their congressional leaders to slavishly bow down to their progressive wing, whose agenda is so toxic to the country and the Democratic Party. Everyone looked for some sort of reboot […]

Consider these observations from President Biden’s State of the Union Address last night. The setting was historic, and it gave the Biden Administration an opportunity to redefine itself, at least in the short term.

As San Fransisco voters overwhelmingly recalled three school board members recently, there are a lot of commentaries on the push-back to the woke progressivist agenda. In this particular case, these members’ priorities were seemingly not on educating children, but renaming schools that included names of Lincoln and Washington, because of their imperfect past. But perhaps […]

Conventional wisdom has certainly joined this Berean’s opinion that the next election is going to find the Democrats deeply underwater. We warned that inflation is one of those most sticky issues that everyone feels, and those that tolerate it pay the political price.* It’s not that we’re that great at political prognostication–it’s just that we’re […]

Mr. Pence: Time to Suit Up
06 Jan 2022
One of the fundamental Christian values is that of prioritizing the pursuit of truth, as Jesus identified himself as the truth, Satan is identified as the father of lies, and not only are lying lips an abomination to the Lord, but in one of the final verdicts in the Bible in Revelation 21, we are […]

CNBC comes to this realization this morning, as it notes: The coronavirus pandemic has led to a new era of inflation inequality, economists warn, in which poor households bear the brunt of rising prices. That’s because a bigger portion of their budget goes toward categories that have spiked in cost. Food is up 6.4% over the […]

Partisan polarization feels like a fact of life. Media outlets and social media algorithms alike gravitate toward the extremes, so much of what we hear and see confirm this perception. Our political leaders, on both sides of the aisle, appeal to the most radical parts of their base to avoid primary challengers. Common ground is […]
