Hillary Clinton should have been investigated for Russian collusion

April 4, 2019 Robert McDowell

After more than two years of an inquisition-type “investigation,” the Mueller Special Counsel report has been delivered to the director of the Department of (in)Justice. In my opinion, the term “injustice” fits since the terms of PRESJC-42 (Bill Clinton), who had the privilege of nominating candidates for Federal District and Appellate judges to positions created…

Would you like to save lives? That’s what they do at Mend

March 28, 2019 Charles Biggs

There is great work being done at Mend Pregnancy Resource Center and Medical Clinic. Many women from all areas of life can face a crisis when they unexpectedly become pregnant. It can be especially troubling for a young woman who is not married or whose family is living from paycheck-to-paycheck. Unexpected babies interfere with work…

Gun control does not help if only criminals have the guns

March 28, 2019 Robert McDowell

One morning recently, the 5 a.m. radio news woke me up with the story that there had been a multiple shooting in two or three Islam Mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. First reports were that there were numerous victims killed and wounded in each – also that the perpetrator had used two military-grade rifles, and…

Lessons in the basement of a Baptist Church

March 28, 2019 Walker Moore

I grew up in a small country church, when we first started attending this church it had one large room called the sanctuary. The seats were long wooden pews that would bend like a horseshoe as it went from one side to the other. Directly below it was the basement. Most of our Sunday Schools,…

Everything I need to know I learned from summer camp

March 28, 2019 Jake Talbert

Anyone who has experienced summer camp knows that camp memories last long after school is back in session. From the deep friendships formed over late-night storytelling, to sunny days spent on the water, camp helps turn fleeting moments to lifelong memories that children will cherish for years to come. Parents know that after a summer…

It’s hard to get to Mitchell, South Dakota from Tulsa

March 21, 2019 Charles Biggs

You can’t get there from here. I am beginning to think that is true when it comes to traveling from Tulsa to Mitchell, South Dakota. I know that seems like an odd destination but are several reasons why I wish to travel to Mitchell. 1. I have never been there. The closest I have been…

The current ‘revolution’ is a genuine threat to our republic

March 21, 2019 Robert McDowell

It appears to me that, like it or not, there is an incipient “revolution” now underway here in our republic established by ratification of the Constitution on September 13, 1788. History has shown that nations operating as “democracies” – as opposed to tyrannies – have lasted no more that 200 years. Unfortunately, the freedoms guaranteed…

Longing for a place better than a circus

March 21, 2019 Walker Moore

It has been a hectic month for the writing team of Moore, Moore and Moore. We have been making room for a new addition to our team who will arrive soon. So we decided to have a staff retreat and spend an evening at the circus. At first, just Titus the Honorable and I were…

Ethanol is wrong in a number of different ways

March 21, 2019 Peter Roff

Donald Trump didn’t forget he promised Iowa’s corn growers he’d be there for them if they helped send him to Washington. He’s told the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to start the process of permitting the sale of E15 — a gasoline blend that’s 15 percent ethanol — year-round. Increasing demand for corn-based ethanol is the…
