By Wayne Allensworth Bill and Shirley Allensworth Houston, Texas 1953 I recall the time and circumstances in which I knew once and for all I couldn’t go home again. It was 1992. We were back in Houston for Christmas. My wife and I took walks in the morning and passed still remaining landmarks that had taken on the air of museum exhibits. Or ruins. The post office. The old grocery store, now a...
by Wayne Allensworth For some time, we have been reading about the United States and the United Kingdom’s possibly permitting Ukraine to use American and British long-range missiles against targets not only in the warzone, but also deep in Russian territory. The weapons mentioned most often are British Storm Shadow (France also uses a variant of this system called SCALP) and American ATACMS...
By R. Cort Kirkwood The federal criminal complaint against Ryan Wesley Routh, who attempted to assassinate former President Trump on Sunday, offered more details about Routh’s failed attempt. Notably, Routh landed at the golf course two hours after midnight Saturday and waited for his chance to murder Trump, the complaint alleges. The complaint also offers more details about Routh’s weapon and...
By R. Cort Kirkwood The FBI is investigating a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, this time at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Secret Service agents spotted a man with an “assault rifle,” reports say, then an agent fired at the man several times. West Palm Beach cops later arrested Ryan Wesley Routh with an “assault rifle” on Interstate 95. The former...
By Wayne Allensworth Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. John 12:27 On the day my father collapsed in my house, which led to a painful and long dreaded decision on my part, I talked to our pastor, and then to a cardiologist. Daddy had trouble breathing. The emergency room staff gave him something that stabilized...
By R. Cort Kirkwood The verdict is in on last night’s ABC News presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. It was fixed. It was biased. It was a joke. Moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir asked loaded, hostile questions of Trump, but tossed Harris one slow pitch after another. They “fact-checked” Trump’s accuracy repeatedly, but let Harris slide...
by Cort Kirkwood At the New American: What ABC News sponsored and what Americans saw last night was not a one-on-one debate. The network’s David Muir and Linsey Davis blatantly sided with Harris, “fact-checking” former President Donald Trump when he told the truth, while permitting Vice President Kamala Harris to spew one lie after another. And ABC’s post-debate “fact-check” published this...
By Wayne Allensworth If I had only one reason to vote for Trump-Vance in November, this would be enough: Kamala Harris voted against requiring doctors to render aid to babies born alive after a “botched” abortion. That alone tells us all we need to know about her and what her party has become. The “abortion van” outside the DNC only confirmed the ghoulishness of the ghastly, and, yes...
By Wayne Allensworth Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. — John 8:12 Written in the fourth century BC, Plato’s Republic includes the oldest recorded account of what Dr. Sam Parnia, author of Lucid Dying, calls “recalled experiences of death” (RED). In that account, a Greek...

Friends warned that I would be bored or lack any direction or sense of purpose and that, in turn, might lead to bad consequences. It didn’t. I find plenty of purpose and direction in my...
