The Catholic Church’s confusing LGBTQ approach

Any organization has to have structure in order to thrive and survive. A business needs a business plan complete with a budget, an expectation of necessary human resources and much more.

Does America actually want socialism?

In the last couple of Presidential elections, many of the pollsters were embarrassingly off the mark in their read of the American public. One pollster, however, has put together an amazing run. After proving to be America's most accurate national poll in the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, IBD/TIPP did it again in 2020. IBD/TIPP has now been the most accurate in each of the last five presidential election cycles.

The U.S. economy grew faster than expected in the July-September 2022 quarter, the government reported Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022, underscoring that the United States is not in a recession despite distressingly high inflation and interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. But the economy is hardly in the clear. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File)

Worldwide recession? Where should investors look?

Predictions for the world economy for 2023 are not good. Nearly all economic experts expect an economic recession to engulf the civilized world, causing hardship and new challenges, just as things had begun to recover from the ravages of COVID-19. No one is spared, not Europe, not Asia and not the United States. The only area of disagreement seems to be how deep and how long the recession will be.

Actions have consequences except in Joe Biden’s America

Growing up in yesteryear America, there was any number of simple phrases intended to teach personal responsibility. "Save up for a rainy day" and "work hard to get ahead" were among them. The American dream itself was built on the notion that every American had the opportunity to create a better life for himself or herself and for his or her family.

American media’s embarrassingly self righteous coverage of the World Cup

Soccer isn't the most popular sport in the United States. In fact, it's not even close. Football, baseball and basketball dominate the television viewing habits of Americans. The NFL's Super Bowl is America's largest annual television event with an audience of more than 110 million people each year.

Open letter to Donald Trump

This week you announced your intention to run for President yet again in 2024. Your track record is one of surprises, combative proclamations, bucking the system and in all fairness, some impressive accomplishments.

The seeds of misinformation about next week's 2022 midterm elections were planted in 2020. That's when baseless conspiracy theories about the presidential election took root and festered, helping to spur the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Despite efforts by tech companies to slow their spread, misleading claims about mail ballots, vote tallying and certification never went away. (AP Photo/Ben Gray, File)

Final prediction for control of the U.S. Senate

The government of the United States has three branches, The Executive, the Judicial and the Legislative. The Executive Branch is made up of the President and the various departments and divisions that fall under his authority. The Judicial Branch interprets the Constitution and its application to all phases of American living. Federal Judges and Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the US Senate.

Electric travel fantasyland

Have you ever observed a circumstance that seemed doomed to certain failure? Perhaps it was the nuptials of a friend when he or she was romantically enamored with someone who no one else believed had your friend's best interest at heart. Maybe it was your teenager's first used car purchase, which seemed like a great road to independence to your child but seemed clear and obvious to you would run very little and cost a lot.

Biden’s fascism folly fosters fear but ignores reality

President Joe Biden, facing historically low Presidential approval ratings and in serious danger of dragging his party down during the 2022 Congressional elections, has recently taken to describing Republicans as fascists and semi-fascists.

Welcome to the Banana Republic of America

In 2010 the West African country of Ivory Coast held an election. Their then-incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo was unhappy with the outcome, a loss to his challenger, current President Alassane Ouattara.

The GOP’s impending Trump disaster

President Joe Biden's polling numbers from a wide variety of sources tell us beyond any shadow of a doubt that he and any hopes to push his agenda are both in deep trouble.

The Supreme Court and baseball: You can’t just make up the rules

I have been an avid Kansas City Royals fan since boyhood. It has not always been easy, as the Royals have made the playoffs only twice since 1985. This year is sadly typical by Royals standards. They currently have the third-worst record in all of Major League Baseball (MLB). My love for the organization continues nonetheless.

The Supreme Court: Worst case scenario

Nine Justices sit on the United States Supreme Court. Whenever a sitting justice either voluntarily retires or passes away, a vacancy on the court is recognized. The President of the United States nominates someone to fill the vacant seat, with the advice and consent of the US Senate. A nomination to the Court is considered to be official when the Senate receives a signed nomination letter from the President. Once the Senate has held hearings and investigated the qualifications of the nominee, they vote and if a majority is in favor, the person is approved and takes his or her place on the highest court in the land.
