“Let us begin where our Founders began” you said, reverently—as you announced your directive that the House impeach the President of the United States. “Democrats too are prayerful,” you concluded, “and we will proceed in a manner worthy of our oath of office, to support and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic,…
Remember when you were a kid, and whenever anyone asked you how old you were, you’d always tack on a “and a half” because it made you feel good to sound older? Fast forward a few decades later and I’ve now become my parents; you know: Me: “Mom how old are you?” Mom: (Thinking) Me:…
My daughter is intensely proud of her baby brother. He, in turn, lights up when he sees her. In one heart melting moment a few days ago, she piped up with “Mommy, he’s my best friend.” To that end, she loves to be around him. Unfortunately for baby brother, big sister doesn’t quite understand the…
Dear Tomi, You’re a unique phenomenon. You’re a millennial who doesn’t shy away from a tough conversation because feelings might get hurt. And you’ve got a heck of a following. Millions of people hang on your every word. So that means you have an immense responsibility to get it right. No, not “right” as in…
“But he’s done; he’s leaving!” some might say, “Why dredge up old news?”
Well, for starters, because he’s not leaving. Unlike his predecessors who (usually) left the capital city and gracefully settled into the annals of history, he’s sticking around Washington D.C. (Yes, yes, I know he’s still got a kid in school.) Politically, he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. As the aforementioned Bill Whalen put it, his farewell speech “wasn’t so much ‘farewell’ as ‘to be continued’.”
I was an A student back home (well, unless we’re talking about math… but that’s another story). But there I was, sitting in a class at Universidad del Valle de Atemajac in Guadalajara, feeling about as dumb as a box of rocks. Sure, I “spoke” Spanish, but I had only been there a week and…
As children, we are masters at the art—or at least the attempt of—circumvention. Simply put, kids are in the business of getting what they want. Parents in the business of running block against some of those (often ill-planned) things that children want. Enter the Art of Circumvention. The child will either bypass the more “difficult”…
“The President shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” Article II, Sec. 3 Our Constitution requires that our president present a national progress report–which in effect is supposed to be somewhat of a score…
Today the president was sworn in publicly, after which he gave yet another partisan speech in true Barack Obama form. While we know him to be one of the most partisan presidents of our history, he is still the President of the United States, and thus serves as every American’s president. Sadly, today, he demonstrated…
As I sit contemplating our nation’s great history as the 235th birthday of the United States is celebrated this month, I consider what it took to achieve and maintain. What great sacrifices have transpired, from those colonists who signed with their sacred honor the Declaration of Independence, to the doomed men walking their last steps…
