In a recent one-vote margin, the United States Supreme Court ruled on the validity of prayer before public meetings.

Recently the resignation of former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich stirred quite a controversy and rightfully so. That the left’s intolerance prompted the Mozilla board to force Eich from his job is an abomination and contrary to the freedom of expression America stands for.

The recent congressional special election in the Tampa Bay area was a painful process to watch. Two decent major party candidates, sincere in their desire to serve the people, displayed their wares, offering different philosophies and different political positions on the issues of the day.

President Obama’s budget recently hit Capitol Hill and the good news is that it is dead on arrival, thanks to the House of Representatives. The bad news is that it clearly shows the agenda of the Oval Office. It is both disarming and alarming, all $4 trillion of it. As he looks for ways to […]
