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…

Editorial: Democrats and infanticide bill

March 14, 2019

Democrats in the U.S. Senate call themselves “pro-choice” and not “pro-abortion” while describing others as “anti-abortion” rather than the preferred term of “pro-life.” Several actions recently prove that the “pro-abortion” tag is more realistic. U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, recently introduced a bill that had a simple message. If an unborn baby survived an attempted…

Despite all the setbacks, there seems to be a glimmer of hope

March 14, 2019 Robert McDowell

It seems as though some things may be changing to offer some encouragement to those of us who revere the freedom we were born into and the Constitution that was written to guarantee those freedoms as coming from God. As mentioned previously, some of us consider it that it was the doing of God that…

Editorial: America is drowning in its debt

February 28, 2019

Why is no one upset that the national debt is $22 trillion? That’s $22,000,000,000,000.00. Given a population of 325,000,000, that means every American owes $67,692 as part of the debt. So, a household of four would owe $270,769. Millennials (ages 26-36), the ones who will pay off that debt, have an average personal debt of…

It’s now time to ‘vote out the bums’ – the U.S. progressives

February 28, 2019 Robert McDowell

It seems that those of the Communist/Fascist/Socialist movement have no other way of pushing their agenda than that worn-out method of (as usual) screaming labels such as racist, sexist, Nazi or homophobe – loudly and falsely at their enemies. Those further out in left field have even gone into using the accusation that PRESDT-45 is…

Letter: Trump blasts late-term abortions

February 14, 2019 Michael Rachiele

It was so very pleasing to hear President Trump mention in the State of the Union Address that our nation has to take a stand against late-term abortion. “There could be no greater contrast to the beautiful image of a mother holding her infant child than the chilling displays our nation saw in recent days. …

Editorial: Trump is keeping his promises

January 31, 2019

Unlike so many politicians, President Trump is determined to keep his campaign promises. That’s refreshing. Past presidents compromised at the drop of a hat. The late George H.W. Bush famously promised no new taxes (“Read my lips – no new taxes”) and then made a deal with the Democrats to raise taxes if they cut…

Editorial: Award shows losing audiences

January 17, 2019

Hollywood’s war on President Trump is having an impact – on Hollywood. As we enter the season of phony Hollywood award shows, progressive actors, directors, producers and writers seldom waste and an opportunity to blast Trump as a “racist,” “homophobe” or any other nasty tag that suits their fancy. America has had enough of listening…

Letter: Mitt Romney is double-minded

January 17, 2019 Duane Collins

Mitt Romney was sworn into the Senate in January . . . but before he could even be seated . . . he began his attacks on President Trump. Romney wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post saying, “Trump has not risen to the mantle of the presidency.” Then, in an interview with CNN, Romney…

The new leader of Brazil may be a sign of better conditions

January 17, 2019 Robert McDowell

While we who revere the rule of law in the United States seem faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles facing PRESDT-45 in his crusade to “drain the swamp” and return government to proper conduct and direction, there seems to have been some hopeful signs brewing south of the Panama Canal which have been carefully kept behind…
