Spicy Remarks About America’s Electoral College
It's come up hundreds of times before. But it's back again. Brace yourself for yet another proposal to nix the electoral college. In the middle of December, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL) published a press release announcing a new proposal to abolish the way Americans have always elected their president. Joining him were Senators Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Peter Welch (D-VT).

On the California Fires
With a number of people dead and thousands of homes and businesses destroyed, the massive fires fueled by strong winds in Los Angeles have been utterly devastating. Prayers for all those involved are desperately needed. But the sad truth is this: California leaders and authorities were clearly quite unprepared for these fires, and much of the blame must lie with them.

Snowflake Rehab?
For the most part, America has been spared early snowstorms in 2024. Colorado being a significant exception. Here in Illinois, it is not unusual for us to get a white covering as early as October!

Divided!
The United States of America is unique. We were not established from an ethnic group, or a tribe, or a religion, or an aristocracy, or a race. Such things do not define us. We were forged from an idea. We were founded as a constitutional republic on the principles of federalism, individual liberty, limited government, and separation of powers.

Patience and Perseverance Key to Pulling Down Strongholds
If you had surveyed the public a decade ago and asked whether they believed Roe v. Wade would be overturned, a majority would have emphatically said, “No.” Even to the most optimistic person, this seemed far-fetched as a possibility. But in 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned this stronghold of darkness called Roe v. Wade.
