The question about whether Texas is turning blue has been greatly debated. Many seem to think it is inevitable, especially because of our growing Hispanic population. But I’m not so sure that is the case. To learn more about this, and I did a quick dive into the 2018 election returns. Let me start off by…

Lov Gov 2

What Do I Mean by Energy Efficiency? Let Me ‘splain it to You
I liked “I Love Lucy.” One of my favorite things in the show was when Lucy would get in trouble and Ricky would tell her that she had some “‘splaining to do.” A friend and I had a brief discussion on Facebook about energy efficiency. And it reminded me how twisted the definition of ‘efficiency’…
The Shocking Deaths of Abraham and Sarah: Genesis 23:1-20 & 25:7-11

Reducing Your Carbon Footprint Still Matters
I love the consistent inconsistency of the left. First we are told that the world is already being ravaged by the fallout of human induced global warming. Next we hear that if we don’t drastically reduce CO2 emissions in the next decade or so, “we’ll start feeling the brunt of the effects as soon as…
No Quarter November
Doug Wilson warns us that he’ll be speaking the unvarnished truth throughout November: So it is apparent that I believe that there really is a time for rhetorical qualifications.
