The rest of the world may have no use for Vladimir Putin, but in this White House, he’s performing one very valuable function: scapegoat. For Joe Biden, who’s been desperate to offload his share of the blame for this global catastrophe, the Russian warmonger has been a convenient option.

The Bible contains some rather profound statements, along with otherworldly ideas, to the extent that some people would just as soon dismiss it as fiction. Since these people don’t consider it a reliable guide to the material world, they dismiss it as immaterial to their lives. It deals with supernatural ideas that for some seem irrelevant, or with ideas about life that make some people uneasy.

I just think there’s a difference of opinion. Some people don’t want to have a plan.” That was Sen.

When the Lampasas County Commissioners Court meets Monday morning, it will hear from members of the public about whether to designate approximately 3,800 acres just outside the city limits as a “reinvestment zone” and then grant a tax abatement for a proposed solar farm to be constructed there.

More so than perhaps any story in my adult lifetime, there is now an astonishing amount of disinformation pertaining to Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine. Russian disinformation and Russian propaganda, by now infamous for any American with even a cursory knowledge of the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, has of course proliferated on social media.

A woman walks up to you on a sidewalk in front of a department store -- as you are headed into that store -- and says she hopes you will not shop there because it sells products made in Communist China.

Special Counsel John Durham caused quite a stir Feb. 11 when he alleged in a court filing that the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016 hired an internet company to falsely establish links between former President Donald Trump and Russia using data mining and other spying – surveillance which would continue at the Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House after Trump won the election and took office in 2017.

There are four minutes left in the third quarter of a public high school football game in the state of Washington. A player tries to make a tackle with his head pointed down, and his helmet flies off. He falls to the ground and lies motionless.

In February 2014, Russian kingpin Vladimir Putin invaded and subsequently annexed the Crimean Peninsula, which had been under Ukrainian jurisdiction. The timing was no accident, coming as it did only a handful of months after then-President Barack Obama reneged upon his own chemical weapons “red line” for Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, effectively leaving the resolution of the then-nascent chemical weapons crisis in Putin’s hands. Putin, like a shark smelling blood, sensed weakness and acted accordingly. To this day, Crimea remains under de facto Russian control.
