Bible First: Testing the Conservative Right by Scripture

This lesson is not written to tell anyone how to vote.

It is written to remind Christians that our first loyalty is not to a political party, a social movement, a news network, a favorite politician, or a cultural tribe.

Getting Real with God | Jeremiah 33:3 | Our Daily Bread Video Devotional

Our prayers and petitions do not have to be pretty when we are speaking with God. Our lives do not have to be polished and mess-free before we open our door to His Spirit and choose to abide in His presence. Watch today’s video and remember that God offers us a relationship with Him that is made of honesty, hope, and a whole lot of love.

When the “-ism” Becomes God

What if the greatest danger to society is not socialism, capitalism, communism, or any other economic system—but the belief that economics itself can save us? Throughout history, nations have repeatedly elevated markets, production, growth, and consumption to near-sacred status. The result is often the same: human beings become numbers, workers, consumers, taxpayers, or demographic categories rather than individuals with inherent dignity. This article explores the common flaw shared by many competing ideologies—the tendency to place the economy at the center of human existence—and asks a simple question: when the economy becomes god, what happens to the people it was supposed to serve?

Facts and truth have a conservative bias

My good friend Jeffery¹, whether under that name, or his subsequently adopted screen names of Jethro Bodine or, currently, Elwood P Dowd, on William Teach’s fine site, The Pirate’s Cove, once made a claim, “The truth has a liberal bias,” sometimes expressed as “The facts have a liberal bias,” something I have seen elsewhere. It …

Gill at the grill: He’s barbecuing communists in Congress and I love it

Congressman Brandon Gill does not look like a Texan. At 32, he looks like an investment banker and hedge fund analyst from the Ivy League, which he was until he ran for Congress in 2024 with the blessing of President Trump to succeed a retiring Republican.

But boy can the young man in the black suit grill.

The Death of the Republic

A constitutional republic depends not only on honest elections, but on public confidence that elections are honest. When that trust disappears, every law, every court decision, and every elected official begins to lose legitimacy. The greatest threat to America’s future may not be violence or foreign enemies, but the slow erosion of faith in the electoral process itself. Without legal, transparent, and trustworthy elections, there can be no democracy—and no republic worth preserving.

STRIKING: Congressman says Iran is operating in Cuba #shorts

Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., joins ‘Mornings with Maria’ to discuss Cuba’s reported drone capabilities, concerns about foreign adversaries operating on the island and his outlook on the future of the Cuban regime.

The AI Civil War Nobody Saw Coming

America’s next great divide may not be red versus blue. It may be the people who benefit from artificial intelligence versus the people forced to host its infrastructure. Across rural America, communities are being asked to accept massive data centers, increased power demands, and growing water consumption in the name of national security and the AI race with China. Meanwhile, the economic benefits often flow elsewhere. As politicians, tech companies, and investors promise prosperity and strategic advantage, local residents are left asking a simple question: who gets the rewards, and who carries the burden? The emerging battle over data centers is about far more than technology—it’s about trust, fairness, and whether rural America is a partner in the future or merely the place where the future gets built.

ESPN created this monster: TV money and legalized gambling ruined college sports

Ya got trouble right here in college football. Trouble with a Capital T that rhymes with B and stands for Brendan Sorsby.

Or so the NCAA would have you believe.

Sorsby is a vagabond college football quarterback who just signed to play for Texas Tech, his third team. The school will pay him $5 million.

But Sorsby bet $90,000 on college football games, which of course is against the NCAA rules. The team sought an injunction in its home county (Lubbock) against enforcing the rule. The local judge recused himself and Tarrant County Judge Ken Curry popped out of retirement to grant the injunction until the case is argued after the season ends.

Congress fumbles college sports

What Congress is doing right now with its latest “fix” for college athletics begs for commentary. The recent hearings only confirmed what anyone paying attention already knows: Washington has no idea how college sports actually work and insists on marching in with another grand solution.
