  • 181: England defines a Woman
    May 2 2025

    The United Kingdom’s top court recently issued a radical ruling. They said that a woman can be defined as someone who is born biologically female. In other words, men are men, women are women, and that can be defined in objective, biological ways. The highest court in Great Britain has now come down on the side of what every toddler has known for the last 5,000 years. Will America follow suit and once again be able to define what a woman is?

    Apr 18 2025

    Today is Good Friday. It’s the day that we celebrate and remember the cross of Jesus Christ, the sacrifice for our sins that culminates in the glorious news of the resurrection on Easter Sunday morning. These observances are ingrained in the history of Western civilization. Or are they?

  • 178: Progressing Beyond Ourselves
    Apr 4 2025

    Throughout human history, cultures have died and civilizations have vanished. Why? It’s because, eventually, nations or people groups lose the foundational principles, the core values that allowed them to thrive and have success. When a nation allows poisonous enemies to begin to assault their core identity from within a nation has started the process of self-extinction.

  • 177: Keeping the Maine Thing the Main Thing
    Mar 28 2025

    A few weeks ago, in February of this year, a Representative by the name of Laurel Libby, who serves in the House of Representative for the state of Maine, was censured by that body for what they termed, a reprehensible social media post. As it turns out, Libby had posted about a young, high school, male athlete who won first place in pole vaulting in the women’s category of competition in the state of Maine.

    We need to talk about where we are right now in America on the topic of transgender athlete,s as well as the topic of censorship of those who wade into the public square and dare to speak their minds.
