$2.6 trillion dollars! In the entire history of our nation, the federal government has never taken in more money than that in revenues in a single year. 2008 was the last year, this revenue amount was achieved. $3.6 trillion dollars! That’s how much money our federal government spent last year, and it is how much it is projected to spend this year. $15.9 trillion! That is our nation’s current national debt. Some want to pretend this problem away and call those who support returning our federal budget spending to Fiscal Year 2007 levels mean spirited.

A flood of criticism and questions surround the president’s energy agenda. Unfortunately for him, it seems his “green” energy ventures reek of biased decision making, thereby rightfully calling his agenda into question. Forbes states that 71 percent of Department of Energy grants went to “projects involving his [President Obama] major money bundlers, members of his National Finance Committee, or those who contributed as large Democratic Party donors.” Coincidence or intentional?

It is the dogma of our time that proponents of government safety net programs hold the moral high ground. Accordingly, Democrats preen over their own “compassion”; and Republicans chime in that they too “believe in safety net programs”. But safety net programs are unconstitutional and immoral. They are unconstitutional because “charity” is not one of the enumerated powers of the federal government. They are immoral because they are based on a fabricated system of man-made anti-rights which negate the Rights God gave us.

An annuity is a financial product sold as a way to collect and grow funds and then later receive those funds as a steady cash flow during retirement. Annuities have many flavors and features that vary this basic principle, but the basic terms you will hear are “deferred or immediate” and “fixed or variable.” Ever-popular annuities sometimes sound too good to be true, which in itself is probably a good reason to avoid them.

Our super-smart, highly educated and well financed scientists tell us they don’t operate on faith; instead they operate on logic and objective evidence. Yet when you examine their chain of thought and peer into their evidence, it is a fabric of conjectures based upon one leap of faith after another. They have convinced themselves the air castles they have constructed are more than science fiction, but why should we believe them?

“Women can vote” was the news AUGUST 26, 1920, with the passage of the 19th Amendment: “The right of citizens of the U.S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” In the 1800’s, Sweden, Britain, Finland, New Zealand, South Australia, and some western U.S. Territories extended voting rights to women. In countries adhering to Sharia Law, such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Brunei, etc., women’s right to vote is still denied or limited.
