Culture Wars
This is a photo from a previous Mother’s Day. Isn’t it nice that despite all of our Country’s wrangling, we can still agree that mothers are important? It is wrong when the government passes laws to put one class of people above another. You’d think with all the complications with budgets, crime and immigration the legislatures would be busy enough working to move us forward. Proposals in both State and Federal governments are not focused on real problems, but rather on what people do in the privacy of their homes. If people were acting outrageously in public, I can imagine it being a priority bill, but since when do we need new laws for people doing something nobody sees? One’s behavior in the bedroom should not precipitate a governmental event.
Laws pertaining to deviant behavior are designed to make a segment of our society feel affirmed and validated (not the purpose of government). They also are designed with sharp teeth for those who want to harass others in a court of law and force societal acceptance of diviancy. Laws can have an impact on our practices through fear of lawsuits, not because of newly found moral convictions.

Using Government Against Political Enemies
The purpose of government is to protect our rights. For this to work, we all need to play fair. Regardless of who’s in power, we should all demand that our government stay on it’s original duty. It sickens me to watch members of our Congress, who are supposed to be making and repealing laws, conduct hearings to shame and humiliate those who are testifying.
When I was the chairman of a committee in the Missouri House, my goal was to allow the witness to explain why a proposed bill was either good or bad. I kept our committee on the topic at hand. When I watch the members of the US House, many of them put on theatrics and disrespecting the witnesses. It is bad enough to make one wonder why anyone would testify on anything. These bad actors are ruining the dignity and decorum of our government.

Pro-Life Questions
This is me with my granddaughter. All life is precious.
If you agree, we need to rethink why so many proposed
“Pro-life laws” have exceptions. Every one of those exceptions is a baby!
When will we say, “No! We don’t kill other humans!”?WHAT YOU CAN DO…
1.) Get informed about the harm done by the “rape” exception. Listen to our show today. Share our newsletter and this podcast with someone who may need it. You can hear our show here.

This is How We Fight Our Battles
Years ago, a student would be sent to the principal’s office for using profanity. Now teachers are asking students to use profanity!
We went from a time when they threw “religion” out of schools to a time when God is brought back in so He can be openly mocked.
We went to the Lindbergh School District Board meeting to ask the members to adopt a policy against using profanity in the classroom. They told me they’ll get back to me later. I’m still waiting…

The Condition of Christianity
Recently I was surprised to find Cindy Redburn at an event about the Lavoy Finicum tragedy. We were able to hear from his widow about the details of his life and why it’s important for us to be Constitutional! There are a lot of perspectives on how Christianity is doing. I was appalled a few weeks ago when the United Methodist Denomination felt it necessary to take a vote on allowing sexual perverts to be leaders in their churches. Thankfully, they did the right thing, but the fact that they had to have this discussion says plenty.
If this denomination had not failed to exercise biblical church discipline earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this. This vote was on the question of whether churches will live by the Bible or not. What’s the point of having a church if God’s laws are volitional and no longer relevant? It becomes nothing more than a tax-exempt social club!
Some on the left end of the political spectrum have wormed their way into churches for the opportunity to manipulate the direction of the church. Their goal is to make ideas – abhorrent to our faith – seem socially acceptable.

Babies Born Alive
Last week, many pro-life leaders from around the state were invited to attend an event to discuss legislation to save babies who have been aborted, yet survived. (L to R, Judy Sofka – “Missouri Precinct Project”, Me, Zina Hackworth – “This Race Will Self Destruct”, and Bev Ehlen- “Concerned Women for America”) Sometimes it seems like our human race will self-destruct! I can hardly believe the debates going on about how we treat the unborn and the newly-born! Some people think technology is furthering our progress because we now have the ability to see the baby on an ultrasound and know so much more about fetal development. Yet, here we are watching some states push for unthinkable and horrific treatment of our most innocent youngsters. 19 states have legitimized the right to kill the baby up until the minute before he or she is born and some after the baby is born!
People used to claim they were confused about whether it was a baby or when it had a heartbeat or when the baby felt pain. Now, we have seen the humanity of babies and it’s far past time to confront this as blatant evil. We should have been past this discussion 45 years ago!
Shockingly, 19 states now allow infanticide. Even if a mom doesn’t want to raise her baby, there is no medical reason to kill the baby. Attempts at late-term abortions have resulted in premature births. When this happens, the doctor should be prosecuted for malpractice having caused a deliberate premature birth at enormous medical and physical cost. There is no reasonthe baby should have to suffer or die just because the mother doesn’t want to raise him or her. It is never acceptable to kill people we don’t like!

The State of Our Unity
This is a picture from the State of the Union address. Her hair looks great.
Her makeup artist did a good job, but is anyone else distracted by the way people
are posed directly behind the President? Her makeup artist did a good job, but is anyone else distracted by way people are posed directly behind the President?While I was in the House of Representatives, we had an annual “State of the State Address”. I served under two different Democrat Governors and one Republican Governor. My colleagues showed me how we could clap without it making any sound, so we would appear cordial for the cameras while not lending any support to bad ideas.
When his speech started, I thought the ladies in white were nurses. Some people thought they looked like pastry chefs. After awhile it became obvious that they wanted to dress alike so we could tell they are forming a team. How unfortunate that we can’t just all be Americans. The women in white applauded more for themselves getting elected than for anything else.
I loved it when the President said early in his speech, “Victory is not winning for our Party. Victory is winning for our Country.” Many people in the opposition party had trouble clapping for that. The Democrats couldn’t even clap for the idea of putting human traffickers out of business. What does that tell you?

SHUT DOWN SHOW DOWN: IT’S STILL GETTING UGLY
Recently, I went to the Missouri Capitol with Joy Sweeney, Executive Director of Council for a Drug-Free Youth and David Usher, President of the Center for Marriage Policy. The Speaker of the National House of Representatives could have opened up the government any time after she was sworn in as Speaker. That might have been a smart move.
This was unprecedented to rescind an invitation to host the State of the Union Address. It is sad that they are willing to pick a fight this small against the others who don’t share her political agenda.
However, many Democrats do not share her agenda. There are a lot of good, hard working Democrats who want the wall built and our Country protected. The idea of protecting our borders is shared by many people — including many Democrats. Some of the labor workers are looking forward to bidding on these contracts and actually building the wall. Some Democrats wonder why we’re even fighting over this.
Why isn’t our agenda the same? How about a common goal like protecting our Country?

Happy New Year!
There’s always something to feel good about, no matter the darkness. This is a picture of my mom with our bird, Sorbet. For years Sorbet acted like she doesn’t like any females. Today my mom finally won her over.
It’s easy to get discouraged when we look at the political fights we’ve lost, but there will always be some surprises that never were able to be predicted. Stay in the fight and be courageous! -
Merry Christmas!
Mischief seems to be bound up in the heart of people in every civilization. It doesn’t take much to find plenty of examples of people stealing elections.
Was 2018 a practice run for 2020? If we don’t learn from these shenanigans, AND TAKE LEGISLATIVE ACTION, we are doomed to see more next cycle around.
People are motivated by success. Electoral results stand. Even after a breach of the system is discovered, the one with the most votes at the moment the election is certified gets to keep the office.
