The Issachar Report1 Chronicles 12:32Dennis A. Wright, DMin. The New York Times Blasts the President,Or, Why Should Anyone Listen to a Dinosaur? "The President and the Cabinet in Washington are far behind the people," shrieks the New York Times. "They are like a person just aroused from sleep, and in a state of dreamy half-consciousness." Sounds all too familiar from The Grey Lady whose motto, "All the News that Fit to Print," might more accurately be rendered, "All the Mud that's Easy to Sling!" In her article entitled, "The New York Times vs. America," Michelle Malkin summarized this...

It is late January as I'm writing this, and like everyyear at this time, my thoughts are on the prebornchildren, some 47 million and counting, who have neverseen the light of day in this great country of ours. But I am departing from my usual column about abortionto address an issue even more foundational to themoral fabric of American culture. That issue is humanorigins, and it finds expression in American publiclife through the debate between the opposingworldviews of evolution and creation. And this debate is an emotionally charged one. Onecase in point is the recent Kitzmiller v....

Disappearing Dinning Room Table The headline on a recent story from Britain caught my eye: " Dining Room Table Losing Central Status in Families." It turned out to be great headline for a very disturbing story. The report quoted a survey from the market research firm, Mintel, which found that sales of dining room furniture have dropped eight percent over the last five years. At the same time, sales of other types of furniture have been doing extremely well....home office furniture up 40-percent...bedroom furniture up 37-percent etc.So what's the...

Will Gold Top $1000/oz.?Why Gold is Still Dirt CheapWill gold really reach $1000/oz. or higher? According to Richard Russell in Barron's Magazine the answer is "YES!" He explains that the Fed's easing of interest rates throughout the 90's created excesses in the supply of money - particularly the supply of money that was poured into housing.He warned, "sooner or later the bubbles will burst, thrusting the U.S. economy into depression." His recommendation? "Hold cash and Gold." He said gold at $400 an ounce was "as cheap as dirt." Since then gold prices have climbed to 17 year highs, above $...

When authorities saw the ID number, they immediately arrested Lee, who later...

When speaking of the January Effect, I'm not referring to the tendency for stocks to trend for the entire year, in the direction that January's trading has taken them in. I am speaking of a far more insidious cultural event.The Roe v. Wade decision was simply another step downward into that murky abyss; a surreal dimension where whatever that is deemed legal automatically becomes ethical in the minds of those who seek justifications for their deeds and permissive attitudes. The late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan probably would have referred to this as "defining deviancy down." More than...

Some call them "civil unions." The Minneapolis Star Tribune calls them "civil partnerships." No matter what they're called, where civil unions have become law the marriage debate remains unresolved. Even so, the December 28, Star Tribune editorial "Can gay cowboys find true equality?" posits that the state "should leave marriage to religion and get into the business of civil partnerships" as a means to satisfy both sides in the marriage debate. Thanks to the blunder in Connecticut, same-sex civil unions have been exposed as a bait-and-switch scheme, designed to obtain homosexual marriage...
