Please serve helping after helping of playoff college football so we can gorge ourselves over Thanksgiving weekend.

Don't be lulled into a false sense of security; the left is out to destroy 4,000 years of Judeo-Christian teaching as the basis of our society.

David set up his friend and fellow warrior for assassination in battle so he could steal his wife. Peter pledged loyalty to the death if required, then denied Jesus three times when put to the test. The Lord sometimes uses flawed people to work His will.

Don't let anyone hijack a legitimate campaign slogan; make leftist bullies own fascism.

Would you have apologized for putting abolition in a class by itself in the 1850s?

It was an empty fraud, every aspect of it fake, from start to finish.

If they do, they sure have been stupid about it -- leading the fight to abolish slavery, overcoming the opposition of Democrats to amend the Constitution to protect African-American civil rights, overcoming the opposition of Democrats to pass civil rights legislation in the 1960s, appointing African-Americans to high-ranking positions in federal government, and now pursuing economic policies resulting in record employment numbers for African-Americans.

Won a free piece of cheesecake at a Georgetown pizzeria for playing a spirited, if somewhat choppy, rendition of Has Anybody Seen My Gal? on an old-fashioned piano. This has nothing to do with anything, but it’s the one thing in my bio that people seem to remember. Well, that and the fact that humorist Mary Maxwell (15 million hits on YouTube) is my mother.
