Education Stakeholders Again Drop the Ball

October 25, 2018 Dan Keating

You may have seen a number of times, scenes from Marine Corps’ Boot Camp. The mental and physical work is very hard, but it does result in producing America’s finest fighting force. Most of us wish that the world did not need such forces, but we do. You can go from China, the Middle East,…

Our controversy is about man-made climate change

October 25, 2018 Robert McDowell

Now that Judge Kavanaugh is officially Justice Kavanaugh, it is time to move on with the matters important to the well-being of our 241-year old republic. This nation was given to us by the divinely inspired members of what turned out to be the original Constitutional Convention. Noticeably absent from the news during the uproar…

Lesson: Don’t pack a suitcase in the dark

October 25, 2018 Walker Moore

Last week, I flew to Orlando to preach in a church that has supported me in my mission work for years. It is a large church with an incredible ministry around the world. Every Sunday morning service is a huge production. The stage is filled with instruments; the choir is made up of difference nationalities;…

More evidence surfaces against so-called global warming

October 25, 2018 Jay Lehr Tom Harris

United Nations global warming alarmists are at it again. Recently, U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) bureaucrats sat stone-faced on television in South Korea predicting that the planet would all but perish in ten years if carbon dioxide (CO2) is allowed to continue to rise in the Earth’s atmosphere. Their solution, as presented in…

Vote for Judge Morrissey and not for the homosexual

October 18, 2018 Charles Biggs

What should conservative Christian voters look for in the November 6 election? Here are some insights. Christopher Uric Brecht-Smith is running against Judge Linda Morrissey for Tulsa County District Judge. His registered name on the ballot will be “Chris Brecht” because he doesn’t want unsuspecting voters to know he is “married” to another man. He…

An Excellent Interview

October 18, 2018 Dan Keating

The Wall Street Journal ran an article by Jillian Kay Melchior entitled, “The Scourge of Diversity.” The column is about Heather Mac Donald, a one-time liberal who now believes identify politics threatens higher education and civilization itself. You may recall that it was Heather Mac Donald who was chased away from invited scheduled speeches by…

Other nations must be fair about imports and exports

October 18, 2018 Robert McDowell

Since PRESDT-45 has put in place tariffs on imports from nations (who have done the same to our exports to them), there has been a continuing outcry in media, at least in the local daily paper, that this will result in much higher prices for purchases here. That seems to be obvious, of course, but…

Trials become a door of hope for others

October 18, 2018 Walker Moore

Ever since our children have grown up and moved out of the house, I have made it a habit to assist my wife as she shops for groceries. When we enter the store, she gives me the significant task of finding a product like toothpicks. Toothpicks are in the grocery store witness protection program, and…

Unlocking our vast natural resources

October 18, 2018 Jay Lehr Tom Harris

Just over a decade ago, America’s energy outlook was revolutionized by technological advances in hydraulic fracturing, commonly called “fracking.” While fracking, the injection of high-pressure water, sand and chemicals into rock to force natural gas and oil to be released, has been used in vertical wells since 1947, new techniques of horizontal drilling are resulting…

Here are tips about when you leave a tip and how much

October 11, 2018 Charles Biggs

What are the rules for tipping? When I grew up in Tulsa, you hardly ever tipped. When I was a kid, I thought that paying for a meal should be enough. When I grew up, I found out that waiters and waitresses don’t make that much in hourly pay and they depend on tips to…
