Angels

Birmingham. I met the old woman for coffee. She was small and slight, with a mane of white. She spoke with a thick Latin accent.

“I have a story for you,” she said.

I’m a sucker for a good story.

The ‘Unemployment Numbers’ Are Government Data – So Don’t Believe Them

There are many fundamental flaws in our current system.

One huge flaw? The data government provides.

It is always under the control of an elected administration – that would suffer un-election should too much of that data be negative.

So it is inherently in every administration’s interest? To fudge, obfuscate and reconfigure the data.

BOMBSHELL CLAIM: Anthropic researcher puts odds AI ‘kills all humans’ above 10% within a decade

FOX Business correspondent Madison Alworth reports on a senior Anthropic safety researcher saying artificial intelligence has a greater than 10% chance to ‘kill all humans’ within ‘the next decade’ on ‘The Evening Edit.’

Thirteen Years: What Charlie Kirk Did With the Time He Was Given

Charlie Kirk had thirteen adult years between founding Turning Point USA at 18 and his death at 31. Thirteen years to build something that would outlive him. But perhaps his most important message wasn’t ultimately political—it was pointing young people toward faith, family, purpose, and Christ.

The next generation will be discipled. The question is who will disciple them.

As we approach the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death, perhaps the best way to honor his legacy isn’t simply to remember him. It’s to continue the mission.

Our clocks are still running. Don’t waste them.

PART II — The World Outside Eden: Mortal Humans, Real Danger, and the Mission Adam Abandoned

Genesis draws a sharp line between inside Eden (God’s dwelling) and outside Eden (the rest of earth). Humanity’s command to “fill the earth and subdue it” (Gen. 1:28) implies the world outside Eden was wild, undeveloped, and awaiting humanity’s rule. The Hebrew kavash (“subdue”) means to bring under order. You don’t “subdue” paradise. You subdue wilderness. The world outside Eden was not evil—just unfinished.

Why Gas Prices Are High When We’re Energy Independent

It confuses many people. Myself included. I will attempt to simplify these complex concepts so that even I can grasp them.

Oil is a globally priced commodity. Pump prices in the U.S. follow world supply and demand without concern for how much we produce. People often ask why the pump price goes up so quickly even when the gas at the station was bought at a lower price. The price at the pump does not reflect the price paid but the replacement cost. The same principle applies in reverse.

Start Together, Finish Together: Love Is Easy, Everything Else is Hard.

3:42 a.m.—Three hours before sunrise. Sarah and I are awake. Sort of. We begin our marathon route in the hamlet of Manitou Springs, a town where everything is organic, even the Subaru exhaust.

We start our journey alone, in front of the little courthouse, the official starting line of the Pikes Peak Marathon. Before we begin running, we hug each other tightly.

“We’re doing this,” we say before we sprint off into the silent streets.

Shockingly Underreported News and Commentary for the Week of 30 August

This is the fifth post in the ongoing weekly feature that highlights news and commentary on important geopolitical, cultural, and economic issues that the Democrat-media complex buries because they expose the hypocrisies associated with the continuing Marxist-Democrat narrative. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.

Here we go!

Michigan Adds Another Felony Because You Used an iPhone

I learned something while sitting on a Michigan jury that sent me down one hell of a rabbit hole: Michigan can separately criminalize using a computer to commit a crime. In 2026, when your phone, truck, watch, bank, doorbell and possibly your toaster are computers, that starts sounding suspiciously like an enhancement for breathing oxygen while committing a crime.

PART I — Eden: God’s Dwelling, Humanity’s Calling, and the Story We Flattened Into a Coloring Book

Most Christians think Eden was a perfect, universal paradise. But Genesis never claims that. The Bible says God “planted a garden in Eden” (Gen. 2:8), a sacred space inside a larger region. Ezekiel calls it “the mountain of God” (Ezek. 28:13–14). Eden was God’s dwelling place, not a global utopia. Only inside Eden did God walk with humanity (Gen. 3:8). Outside the garden lay the rest of the earth—good, but not yet sacred space. The story starts with geographic holiness, not widespread perfection.

Baghdad NYT: ‘A More Confident Iran Emerges After Six Months of War With the U.S.’

That was the headline in the New York Times. The sub-headline read, “New intelligence reports have assessed that Iran now has a far better understanding of its capabilities and the limits of U.S. power.”

Fact-check: Well, yes if you consider they now realize their capabilities are nada, non-existent, zilch. The Persian Army has more power and it disappeared in a sandstorm west of Thebes 2,551 years ago.

9-11: 25 Years of Valor and Fatal Foolishness

9/11/2001: What A Difference 24 Years Make!!!

The Muslim terror attack on 9-11 brought a fleeting moment of WW2-like national unity. A week later, I wrote the first and best op ed of the 1000 plus to follow: “One Front, Two Wars”. Our Homeland is one front where the Great U.S. Culture War and the War between Western Civilization and a resurgent Islam that breeds radicals and rage are fought.

I knew ”the adrenaline cocktail of shock, fear and anger intoxicates only for a season”.
