The Democrat Party’s nominations of Democratic Socialists, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Troy Jackson in Maine, and Angie Nixon in Florida all indicate the same thing. Democratic Socialism will be a defining issue for years to come. CNN reports that “about a third of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults identify as democratic socialists.”

These DSA candidates support abolishing the police, abolishing prisons, abolishing ICE, and amnesty for all illegal aliens. Many DSA believers also consider Thanksgiving to be a “colonizer” holiday and favor abolishing the police because they “exist to uphold white supremacy,” replacing them with social workers.

Many also strongly support universal healthcare ( i.e., socialized medicine), want to create publicly owned grocery stores, and seek to abolish Right to Work laws. (Right to work laws prohibit labor unions from requiring workers to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment).

Identity Politics Have Made the W(oke)NBA a Theater of the Absurd; Poses a Grave threat to Children

As we know, the battle is over whether to allow biological males to play in professional women’s basketball.

How did we get to this point of insanity?

Because the Left views immutable genetic and biological truths as nothing more than social constructs; as merely arbitrary expressions of personal preferences. This lunacy has now collided with itself as the W(oke)NBA rejects science and endangers women on the court and in safe spaces.

WNBA basketball player, Sophie Cunningham, had the “nerve” to make a PGO (penetrating glimpse into the obvious) by pointing out the physical differences between biological males and females, then stating: “I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”

Well, the WNBA has now been called on it.

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; - Psalm 37:23 After work I was tired, but I kept feeling a tug to go to the nearby fresh ice cream store and treat myself. The store didn't have peace, like I wanted, but they had strawberry-- and a young person who needed to know that God loves them!

I knew my Father God loved me, and He had been telling me for years to rest more. Also, I knew that, in His sovereign Love and direction, He is always protecting me, 24/7, from harm. Perhaps the enemy had planned to try to cause a wreck in my path home--but the LORD of Heaven and earth, Who sees and knows all before the earth began, is always watching out for us.

Fauci’s Crimes Against Humanity Demand Prosecution

I have never addressed the same topic two weeks in a row but given the gravity of this matter I felt it was warranted with respect to the 11th hour Fauci pardon by Pres. Biden in light of Fauci’s recent Senate appearance.

There are two threshold issues to consider. First, the legality of the Fauci pardon which covers 11 years for crimes of which Fauci has not yet been accused. Reportedly, the pardon was signed by an autopen. The issue is whether Pres. Biden had any personal knowledge of the pardon, or whether the ‘autopen’ signed it under the direction of a staffer beyond the scope of presidential prerogative and without addled Biden’s awareness.

Second is the issue of waiver.

Deadly Heat Prompts Review of LA Landlord Duties to Tenants

With the heat in Louisiana at a dangerous and debilitating level, I wanted to review what Landlord-Tenant law in Louisiana requires and provides.

At the outset, I note that, in 2023, Louisiana recorded 91 heat-related fatalities, the highest number ever documented in the state. ( LA-DOH).

Further, life-threatening Louisiana heat is the cause of an average 2,700 emergency room visits each year for heat-related illnesses, and 260 people are hospitalized annually with an average stay of three days. ( LA. Illuminator). In contrast, in 2023, Louisiana had only 11 cold- related fatalities ( Nat. Weather Service).

Special Counsel, Jack Smith, May Finally Be Held Accountable for his Lawfare

Please consider this: If corrupt Biden Administration officials would abuse members of the U.S. Congress in this manner, what would they do to the average American citizen?

This past week, U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Chuck Grassley, (R-Iowa) announced that former Special Counsel, Jack Smith, and his investigative team secretly obtained text messages from 44 Members of Congress (including Louisiana’s U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise) as part of the Biden Department of Justice’s “criminal investigation” into President Trump.

Just as Captain Ahab’s maniacal fixation on, and chase of, Moby Dick has come to represent the insanity of obsession, in which all things are justified to achieve the destruction of one’s enemy, Jack Smith then lied about it under oath.

It begins as a tiny seed, but then grows and eventually consumes its host.

The Bitter Root.

That’s what the anonymous author of the Epistle to the Hebrews warned against in Heb. 12: 15: for it “defiles (taints) every relationship” ( including the one with God).

Yes, the Bitter Root begins as a tiny seed of resentment. Someone says and/or does something that wounds us. At first, we try to ignore it or slough it off; however, unless quickly dealt with, it burrows down deep into our memory.

Soon, it transfers to the “hotbed of the heart” where it begins putting down feeler roots. The more we think or talk about it our hurt, the deeper the roots begin to grow. Then, the taproot begins to grow downward while also growing upward. And, before long it begins producing bitter fruit in the form of criticism, backbiting, slander and sarcasm.

So, the question is “What causes this to happen?”

U.S. Supreme Court Betrays America on Birthright Citizenship

I firmly disagree with the Supreme Court ruling last week on the issue of birthright citizenship. American citizenship is fundamentally incompatible with the invasion of illegals that we see in our nation, many of whom pose a clear and present danger to our national security.

Birthright citizenship derives from the 14th Amendment, which states in pertinent part that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” It is that middle clause that is critical. What does “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” mean?

U.S. Will Shine as Primary Host, Competitor, in World Cup

In the hectic and troubled times in which we live, we seek unifying worldwide events. In fact, it could be said that global competition underscores the international language of athletics. One such event is upon us.

The FIFA World Cup soccer competition will be played primarily in the U.S. over the next few weeks. Although co-hosted by Mexico and Canada, 78 of the 104 matches across 11 cities will be played in the U.S. As we are certainly aware, the 2026 World Cup coincides with America’s 250th Anniversary, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight American ingenuity, worldclass hospitality, and athletic excellence. In fact, _Fox News_ reports that “Europeans are obsessed with America during 2026 World Cup stay.”

Iran: A Clear and Present Danger

Before the first bomb of Epic Fury had been dropped, Iranian officials defiantly informed President Trump’s negotiators— who have diligently tried to avoid war— that the Islamic Republic possessed enough enriched fuel to build eleven nuclear bombs. And, a ccording to lead U.S. negotiator, Steve Witkoff, “ that was the beginning of their negotiating stance.”

That is why President Trump’s three-month effort to rid the world of this nuclear menace is both justified and profoundly necessary. In fact, since those first 38 days of bombing, the U.S. has been in a ceasefire, engaging militarily in only defensive strikes when we are either under attack or see an attack being planned, such as with the planting of mines in the Strait of Hormuz. We haven’t undertaken offensive military action in a number of weeks.
