The Belligerent Bear

Last week, in the Baltic Sea off the coast of NATO-member Poland, two Russian fighter jets “buzzed” a United States destroyer, the USS Donald Cook. And not just “buzzed” in a convivial, welcoming manner, but in an aggressive, in-your-face style. In fact, they flew so close to the ship that the jets’ airflow caused wakes in the water. The week previously, a Russian fighter jet aggressively challenged an American RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft flying in international airspace over the Baltic Sea.

Shifting Ground

There’s no need for me to tell you that this general election season has been one of the most bizarre in our history. With close to two dozen candidates vying for the presidential nominations of both major parties, it’s been a little like watching an overcrowded horse race. But as we approach summer, the fields have dwindled to a total of five between the two tickets. Suffice it to say that in the interminable multitude of candidate debates, the topics

Death of Judge Threatens Constitutional Precepts

The recent abrupt death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia focuses attention on the looming fight for the rule of law upon which the United States of America is founded. What is at stake — literally — is whether the U.S. Constitution with all of its guarantees and protections will continue to be our firm foundation. Or will it become, as the Left in America wants, simply a rulebook that can be amended at the whim of any judge to

Northern Thunder: Dress Rehearsal

What is happening right now in the Middle East is unprecedented as far as I’m concerned. Of course, if you just get your news from the American mainstream media, you’ve no idea to what I’m referring. If it’s not promoting the Palestinians or denigrating the Israelis, singing the praises of John Kerry or listing the transgressions of Benjamin Netanyahu, lamenting setbacks to the BDS movement (Boycott, Divest, Sanction Israel) or applauding Iran’s return to global acceptance, then it’s buried deep

Increased Drug Use Predicted Over 2000 Years Ago

America’s eyes have [recently] been on New Hampshire. But we’ve been so focused on the outcome of the presidential primaries, we have not noticed the dark specter that is rising there. According to several recent polls, the number one concern for New Hampshire residents is not who will be the Democrat or Republican nominee. It’s not the economy. It’s not even President Obama’s number one concern: climate change. Surprisingly, the issue that is uppermost for the greatest number of New

Abandoning Israel – Part II

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recently admitted that Hezbollah has 70 to 80,000 rockets (all aimed at Israel, by the way), “…and much of it supplied, obviously, across the border from Iran through Damascus.” Yet he and President Obama proudly pushed the Iran deal through. Because, I think, to most Americans and Europeans, Iran having nuclear weapons is simply “theoretical.” We don’t feel threatened by it (though we should), so who cares? But Israel will be the target of

Palestine – Where is It?

Throughout history and to this day, a country or nation called Palestine has never existed. This was re-affirmed again today when Jim Fletcher wrote: “Yet no archaeologist has ever uncovered evidence of an ancient “Palestinian” civilization. No one denies that there are presently “Palestinians,” but the very term is a political one, created only a few decades ago. It was designed to fool people into thinking there has always been a Palestinian presence in the land, making their claims equal

The Mystery of the Magi

For many of us, Christmas is our favorite time of the year. But each year it grows more difficult to navigate the suffocating commercialism and secularization of the season to arrive at the genuine reason for the celebration: the incarnation of God as a human to become the sacrifice for our sins and make possible our reconciliation to God. I’m afraid we’ve lost our sense of wonderment at the unfathomable miracles that made possible the advent of our Savior. One

Being Secure In An Insecure World

As 2016 bears down upon us, many Christians are becoming more and more confused about what’s important, or even what’s true. At the same time, more unbelievers than ever are uneasy about what they see happening in the world. They know that things aren’t right and they’re feeling a sense of impending doom. So where do they turn? The only sure place to find answers is the Bible. In fact, the Apostle Peter said that the truth we get from

Islamophobia

President Barack Obama finally acknowledged last week that the war on terror has entered a new stage. But he’s still unwilling to admit just how serious and deadly the struggle has become. When two ISIS sympathizers attacked a Christmas party in San Bernardino, California, last week, they killed 14 and wounded 21. It may have been a defining moment for the President and the Left. When he addressed a nation in mourning last Sunday evening, he couldn’t resist the opportunity
