This is not the first time we’ve been at a stalemate in America. We have been down this road before. It seems we always bounce back though – what about this time? Are the details any different this time around, or is this ‘swamp business’ as usual? Where is the tipping point? When do we go so far away from our fundamental constitutional principles that the establishment of our Republic is in jeopardy? Are we already there? Is it a few years away? Is the enticement of free stuff from a benevolent government the catnip of society? Why can’t our politicians sit down in a grown-up meeting and work out the problems as we once did for over 200 years? How did we go from communicating in adversarial dialogue to resist and blockade? MORE VIEWPOINT THE NEWS MAGAZINE Are the divisions within government and our country the result of our founders design; after all the Constitution was the result of trying to satisfy the desires and needs of many different factions; small states, large states, different religious groups, northern and southern colonies? Have we deviated so far from this original design? I’ve been thinking and talking about this divided government business […]

Many Christian parents are concerned about what experiences await their child on a college campus and whether the child’s faith will survive the planned indoctrination of a secular campus. In this show, I interview a University of Tennessee junior who survived the cultural shock of orientation week and the indoctrination efforts of the first year of classes.

In the year 1948 English author George Orwell wrote of a future time, the year 1984 when most of the world’s population had become victims of perpetual war, omnipresent government, continuous surveillance, and propaganda. How different is our world of 2019 from Orwell’s novel? The phrase that most people remember from the Orwell novel is “Big Brother Is Watching” today it’s the question ”Has Facebook sold my confidential information to the highest bidder”. In all of his novels, Orwell conveys a fear of losing individual freedom to an increasingly oppressive modern society. In each novel, the protagonist’s attempt to escape ends in failure. Is the idea of privacy in a 21st-century world a concept that is no longer relevant? Has technology and our willingness to use it eliminated privacy? — Cameras on every corner in every building every roadway airport eliminated privacy as a trade-off for security? Why are we so willing to accept this? Has technology created a propaganda society where a single message is relayed 24/7 in singularity of content? What are the effects of propaganda on our lives? And then there is the subject of WAR. Why do we wage war? Is it for nationalism as some say today? Is it economic? […]

It would seem from the scientific evidence that two things are going to happen, one the planet’s orbital mechanics will change over time and second the sun is going to grow. The big question is: Can man do anything to change either of these events from happening? In 4 billion years the Earth will be consumed by a giant red star sun and reduced to a burnt cinder no matter what Al Gore says! Should we be more worried about planning a new home for man somewhere out of the solar system or too much exhaust from your Honda Accord? Is Climate Change Fact or Fiction? Is climate change inevitable and can man really do anything about it? This is one of the most misunderstood topics, and one that the media takes out of context on a daily basis. The politicization of climate change and the recent IPCC report are front and center. You must ask yourself – why did America pull out of the Paris Agreement? Why did they stand alone? Did President Trump make the right decision? Tom Wysmuller worked in the Apollo NASA era and lectures on Space Program and Climate Issues all over the world. He […]
Every American should have an interest in healthcare reform. Rising costs, lowered quality of care, escalating insurance premiums, and restricted choices hurts everyone.

We are seeing some pretty radical changes to the American way of life. Is it progress OR is it transformation by indoctrination? We know the education system has become the breeding-ground for this transformation, but what about the entertainment industry and the media – what kind of impact are they having? Has this transformation hijacked our educational system and media? The latest findings from the Pew Research Center have the US in 38th place out of 71 countries when it comes to math scores and 24th place when it comes to science. The US now ranks 27th in the world for its levels of healthcare and education, according to a new study. This represents a significant decline from 1990, when it ranked sixth.

“If you want true joy, you’ve got to stop looking at yourself,” says Luke Mickelson. Mickelson knew something was missing in his life. It was time to get off the sofa and figure it out. Back in 2012, it came to the attention of Mickelson through his Church, that some kids in the community were sleeping on the floor. He felt compelled to help the family out. Instead of buying a bed for the kids, he decided to take on the project of making the bed. So Mickelson and his own family, and church volunteers built the bed from lumber he picked up at the local store, and donated the bunk bed to the family. “This little girl had a nest of clothes, it looked like a little bird’s nest. And that’s what she slept on, that’s what her bed was,” Mickelson said. “When we delivered the bed, she hugged it and just couldn’t let go.” “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.” That feeling of changing a life, of giving back – changed everything. That is in fact […]
At the time, it seemed a pretty lofty goal; to climb out of the hospital bed and crawl eight feet to the bathroom. A simple task by most standards, but not when you have life-ending cancer. Compare that moment to being just eight feet from the summit of Mount Everest. In contrast, the eight feet to the bathroom was probably more difficult when your body is not up to the task. It’s all relative now, isn’t it? At just thirteen years old, Sean Swarner was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and given weeks to live. At sixteen years old, Sean was diagnosed again with cancer, this time it was Askin’s sarcoma, one of the deadliest forms of cancer, and was given fourteen days to live. “Located in the lining of my right lung, just under the ribs. It was bad enough that the same day they aspirated it to perform a biopsy, and they decided they had to crack my chest open and take out the tumor,” said Sean. “When I awoke I was told I had a 6 percent chance of survival and was given 14 days to live.” “The crazy part is the two cancers are unrelated,’ says Sean. “As […]
