Make The World Better By Treating Everyone With Respect

When Lynnda had her breast cancer surgery last year, she had prayers from friends around the world. The oncologist gave all her options after surgery, one was preventive radiation. He talked about eastern medicine versus western medicine. Doc said radiation could reduce reoccurrence by 50%. Lynnda asked, “What are the chances now?” “About 8%.” “So, radiation would reduce my chances of reoccurrence from 8% to 4%.” “Yes.” Doc replied. We have good friends in Asia, (eastern) two who are doctors. Both said, “Radiation has risks. We would never recommend it with such a low ...

JD Vance gets America’s creed and heritage right

With America’s 250th birthday as an independent nation coming up in 2026, the big debate on the right this season about what it means to be an American couldn’t be more timely. Vice President JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy — the 2024 presidential aspirant who hopes to be elected Ohio governor next year — have both weighed in. The two extremes in the debate are the “creedal nationalists,” who emphasize America as an idea, and those who boast of being “heritage Americans” with lineages in this country stretching back generations or centuries. Aren’t ...

Border Control Is Trump’s Greatest Achievement

Experts estimate that during the Biden administration, around 9 million migrants crossed illegally into the United States and remained in the country. As illegal border crossers, they are what immigration officials call “removable,” that is, subject to expulsion from the country on the grounds that they entered without authorization. The wild influx during the Biden years strained communities nationwide, burdened government budgets, caused social disruption, led to an alarming number of violent crimes, and, in general, made a mockery of U.S. immigration law. Plus, the situation is ...

It’s hard to hide the dysfunction in the White House

Will someone please tell President Trump that he’s not running against Joe Biden anymore? That much should be obvious, even to casual observers, but, halfway into his second term, he can’t seem to let his former opponent go. “Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess, and I am fixing it,” Trump said at the start of a televised speech intended to reassure Americans with messages he has been pushing through months of sloganeering. But happy days are not here again in Trump’s latest polling numbers. In the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, 57% disapprove of the job he’s ...

Trump plays New York Mr. Christmas only in the movies

Fifth Avenue swarms with tourists grinning at the fabulous scene as retailers cash in on the cheer. Christmas in New York is a Rockettes kick line of store windows awash in fantasy and light spectaculars. But something is missing from the big show this year. That would be Donald Trump. In truth, the president hasn’t made much of a Gotham showing in years. Sure, Trump Tower still looms over Fifth and just a few steps from the gilded Plaza Hotel. Earlier in his presidency, Trump Tower was itself one of the sights, with tourists taking selfies with the armed guards behind. Now it is ...

Looking at increasing government control as digital age expands

Politicians push government IDs. In a TSA announcement, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem sternly warns, “You will need a REAL ID to travel by air or visit federal buildings.” European politicians go much further, reports Stossel TV producer Kristin Tokarev. They’re pushing government-mandated digital IDs that tie your identity to nearly everything you do. Spain’s prime minister promises “an end to anonymity” online! Britain’s prime minister warns, “You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID.” Queen Maxima of ...
