If you could get Sen. Bernie Sanders to tell the truth…

January 30, 2020 Charles Biggs

Here is what you would expect in an interview with Bernie Sanders, the senator running for president, if he were candid. Question: What is socialism? Bernie: That’s where you send all of your money into the government and they in turn take care of all your needs. Question: Has that ever worked anywhere? Bernie: Of…

As commander in chief, Trump made the correct choice in Iran

January 30, 2020 Robert McDowell

To me it was a welcome news report, delivered in person by PRESDT-45, R-New York (now Florida) himself that he had, acting as Commander In Chief (which is an actual title for the President of the USA) ordered a military strike to take out the No. 2 man in the terrorist activities sponsored by the…

Earthly possessions don’t last; memories of God surely will

January 30, 2020 Walker Moore

I spent the New Year holidays downsizing our ministry’s office. Even though I am no longer president of Awe Star Missions, I maintain an office in the building. I knew the process would be painful; I have stalled on doing it for a year and half. Now when I say “downsizing,” I am not talking…

Francene Biggs is not different than most ‘teenagers’

January 23, 2020 Charles Biggs

Francene Biggs is a teenager. Not really. Actually, Francene just turned two years old. And no one calls her “Francene.” Unless she’s in real trouble, everyone calls her “Frankie.” And Frankie is not a person but a pug puppy. She is 14 in “dog years.” In fact, Frankie and Fiona are the two puppies that…

No to federal funds for colleges that don’t all allow free speech

January 23, 2020 Robert McDowell

In going through the stack of clippings from various newspapers, a clipping was discovered dating clear back to March 22, 2019. of the Tulsa World that bore the headline: “Trump orders colleges to back free speech.” The date was at the time I was undergoing a series of four biopsies on my tongue to remove…

Despite sin, God is calling your name from the empty tomb

January 23, 2020 Walker Moore

My days are numbered. How do I know? I bought a calendar last week, and there are numbers on each day. As I have gotten older, I have found myself thinking differently. I used to think a lot about work, getting ahead and how to make more money. I still think about how to make…

Green Activists are the real Goliaths in climate debate

January 23, 2020 Tom Harris Jay Lehr

A common misconception among many in the public is that climate change activists are the ‘Davids’ in the war with the Goliath industrial complex. Authors Ron Arnold and Paul Driessen (Cracking Big Green: To Save the World from the Save-The-Earth Money Machine), show clearly that this is not the case. Arnold and Driessen use information…

Billionaire Bloomberg is a very dangerous Democrat

January 16, 2020 Charles Biggs

There are a plethora of reasons why no one should vote for Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor who is running for the Democrat nomination for president. Bill Donohue, on www.newsmax.com, chronicled a host of policy reasons and personal criteria that should disqualify Bloomberg from getting the nomination, much less the vote in general…

Trump is doing a great job in appointing conservative judges

January 16, 2020 Robert McDowell

A pleasant surprise appeared in the Tulsa World, daily newspaper, on December 21. Somewhat buried on page A-6 was an AP story credited to Matthew Daly headlined, “Senate approves 13 judge nominees.” Well it’s about time some recognition in reporting be given to the Senate Judiciary Committee for actually doing the assigned duties, which are…

New, smaller version of Ding Dongs just are not satisfying

January 16, 2020 Walker Moore

I have discovered a new joy: introducing my grandsons to the treats I liked when I was growing up. At 6 years of age, Titus the Honorable is getting a kick out of sampling Poppy’s old-fashioned candy stash. A year ago, I introduced him to Necco Wafers. You may remember this hard candy, which first…
