The Hidden Tax of Government Regulations
Regulation isn’t a bad word until it costs the average American thousands of dollars annually. Let’s compare the price tags of federal regulations under Trump and Biden and then examine inflationary increases. It’s a difference worth noting. During their respective administrations, Presidents Biden and Trump adopted contrasting approaches to federal…
Trump Had Overwhelming Support for his Agenda. The people want it. He is entitled to the cabinet which support it, and not those the Dems do not like politically.
Today’s Bible Trundle follows day 169 from our (my Diane and me) morning chronological reading through the Bible App. Proverbs is a book of wisdom and guidance, not commands or directives, which is situational in its application. This verse jumped out to me as the left promised a smooth transition…
Trump, the Art of the Deal, China’s Weak Economic Hand, and the Tariff Trump Card
In his comeback bid, Trump signals a return to his aggressive negotiation style, one he famously described in The Art of the Deal: “The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it.” With China’s weakened economic state, Trump sees an opening to press…
Here We Go Again: Core Inflation Numbers (food and energy) Are Ticking Up
The October Consumer Price Index (CPI) just released, showing a 0.2% increase month over month and 2.6% year over year. More concerning is the “core” inflation—excluding food and energy—up 0.3% for the month and 3.3% over the year. These numbers are a red flag, signaling inflation is sticking around longer…
Solar Energy and the Risks and Costs
I recently wrote about our local electric company’s offer to help pay for solar-powered homes where I addressed the obvious costs of the public utility covering these costs and whether they are coming out of the pockets of users who remain hooked to the power lines. A law school classmate…
Gaslighting the Tariff Talk: The Truth Behind Trump’s Economic Moves – It’s More than Revenue
The left often gaslights us, insisting tariffs are a hidden tax that raises prices and limits supply. This news story counters that narrative. During Trump’s first term, tariffs weren’t just for tax revenue—they were a strategic policy tool. The threat of tariffs was used to curb illegal immigration and remind…
School Choice: Kentucky’s Missed Opportunity for Federal School Dollars in the Future
Proverbs 11:29 (NIV): “Whoever brings ruin on their family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise.” The voters may have inherited the wind, but future generations will pay the price for their closed minds. School Choice was on the ballot this past November in…
The Green New Deal Scam: Consumers Get Screwed Again by Our Local Electrical Utility in Louisville, KY….and you?
Here we go again. Another grand scheme, another hit to the consumer’s wallet. The push for “green energy” isn’t about saving the planet—it’s about robbing us blind. We’re funding their woke fantasies while ignoring basic facts: a reliable energy grid needs a balanced mix of sources. Remember the Texas snowstorm?…
Today’s Trundle is Inspired by my Wife: Forgive Them, For They Do Not Know What They Do
This reflection was inspired by thoughts and suggestions from my wife during our daily Bible study (The Bible Recap). Today, her “God Shot” came from Psalm 115:2-8 (NIV), which speaks to God’s mercy and enduring presence. She shared the example of Jesus’ mercy on the cross, the story of Ruth…
Are We Now Desensitized to Atrocities? Using Civilian Shields and Hostages, Booby Trap Explosives, and Targeting Civilians
In an age where violence and conflict are often portrayed in media, one must wonder: are we becoming desensitized to the atrocities occurring in our world? The question looms larger as we witness events that challenge our understanding of humanity and morality. The recent surge in violent acts, especially in…
