Honoring America, Waving the Flags

Texas Politicians and Billionaires vs. The People

To the editor: Bigger is not Better We hear a lot about billionaires relocating their companies to Texas and state leaders and the Texas Legislature trying to lure them here and make it easier for them to expand operations.

To the editor: Imagine this examination question in a Constitutional History class in 1968, 100 years after the ratification of the 14th Amendment: Have interpretations and applications of the 14th Amendment had more favorable impact on businesses engaged in commerce or former slaves, and their offspring, over the past 100 years? Update that question to 2010, the year that Citizens United was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Real Conservative or a Fake?

To the editor: Trump continues shoving his prevarications and loony mercantilism down the throat of Fayette County, and our local Trumpsters dumpster dive for dummkopf arguments and shamelessly publish them. “Researching” in a Trumpster dumpster is no research at all.

Not of This World

To the editor: When I first saw this, I did not really internalize its meaning as a Christian. I am ‘Not Of This World’as a born again Bible believing Christian.

Beauty

From the beginning of creation, it seems that beauty has always mattered in God’s great plan. As we read in the book of Genesis, God delights in His beautiful creation and calls it good, or even better, by the sixth day, very good.
