As I drove to work last week, I enjoyed idyllic Ohio fall days–pleasant temperatures, blue skies and smiling faces upon arrival. If only I could turn off the outside pictures–the vicious attack on Israel (which includes many American hostages and deaths), the dysfunction in Washington DC, the continued market turmoil from a high interest rate […]

I was recently in a classroom listening to another professor and students discuss woke, and part of the conversation correctly identified that often people don’t really have an idea of what they mean; woke is simply a pejorative label. And while there are good explanations of what woke is and what it is not (let […]

On Tuesday evening, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) made good on his threat to oust Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The vote was 216-210, with eight Republicans (including Gaetz) joining Democrats to remove McCarthy. According to Gaetz, McCarthy was guilty of many sins, chief among them his willingness to work with Democrats. Yes, […]

Today’s afternoon headlines include, “Popular 30-year mortgage rate races toward 8% after hitting a high not seen since late 2000“, “Something is breaking in financial markets” “Dow Falls 431 Points as Bond Yields Climb“. We had a pretty nasty end of September, and October is starting us to the downside. The Dow has now given […]

I continue to be amazed and disappointed at the hostility and/or ambivalence to our friends, and openness to our enemies by politicians. The Biden Administration continues to romance the Iranians, who are the worst global actor there is, seemingly willing to do anything for a deal. For years, American presidents have been suckered by Vladimir […]

As we debate and assess the Republican candidates, I think it’s important to consider who the Democratic nominee is. I will be shocked if Joe Biden ultimately is the nominee. I’ve thought for a while that he won’t be, and I still have some hope that Donald Trump will not be the Republican nominee. But […]

One of Thomas Sowell’s best quotes is ““I have never understood why it is “greed” to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.” Now it’s hard to improve on anything Thomas Sowell has written, but I asked ChapGPT to help this morning. I asked […]

Two weeks ago, the Census Bureau released it’s real median income numbers for 2022, with real income falling a shocking 2.3% from 2021 to 2022. Yet the Biden Administration and its promoters continue to be amazed that Americans really don’t understand how good things are with Bidenomics! Consider Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman (hat tip to […]

In political science* and economics, one of the earlier axioms that our current moment says no longer applies is that of the median voter theorem. Roughly speaking, in a two-party system, the candidate that gets closest to the true middle views of the electorate will get all the votes to the right or left of […]

Today I want to share a greatly beneficial resource. It is easy to look at the culture and cherry pick a text to support out opinion; however, bad hermeneutics are not becoming of a Berean. Dr. Ched Spellman is providing an incredible overview of the Biblical canon, how it came to be, and how the […]
