He points out the fundamental need to trust Christ during the storms of life. It is significant to me that for many, the primary storm they recognize is financial. “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee” c 1633, by Rembrandt van Rijn. Mark 4:35-41: “On that […]

It is time for all the cards to be placed on the table and let the chips fall where they may. Democrats, Republicans, insiders, outsiders. Whatever! Whoever is as fault for this should be prosecuted and publically, and […]

He is such an endless supply of inane stupidity. Barney Frank’s latest defense of Congress over the financial meltdown could be predicted based on the success of Barack Obama’s campaign in using the same defense.  According to Rep. Frank, any attempt to pin the blame for […]

Even Bill Clinton admits that there needed to be greater regulatory controls and key Dems consistently fought against them. Listen to Cal Thomas: When Speaker Nancy Pelosi took to the floor of the House on Monday to blame […]

Take a look at Bill Dyer’s analysis: I thought it was bad enough that House Speaker Nancy #Pelosi had made a deliberate decision not to make today’s vote on the Democrat’s economic stabilization bill a “party loyalty” vote in which the House Democratic leadership made absolutely clear […]

Yes, Democrats. Losing by a margin of 228-205, the measure only needed 12 members to change their minds. 95 Democrats voted against the bill. Quit blaming John McCain for failure to keep your majority, in the majority. Take a look at these articles – Bill Dyer at Townhall […]

Surely it was based on careful analysis and a detailed methodology. Nope. They guessed. They just pulled a number out of thin air. They made it up. In fact, some of the most basic details, including the $700 billion figure […]
