When Will We Ever Learn?

The cover page of this months World caught my attention immediately. The cover features the portraits of an "All Star" cast of socialist dictators from the 20th century along with some newbies, Ho Chi Minh, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Hugo Chavez, Karl Marx, Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong, Adolf Hitler and Nicolas Maduro. What do they have in common? They are responsible for the deaths of 100's of millions of people, simply put they are butchers. The feature article focuses on personal stories from the latest victims of the Venezuelan New Socialist Experiment. An inflation rate of more than 2 million percent per year forces working families to scavenge in garbage cans for survival. Disease is rampant as medical treatment and vaccinations are virtually non-existent. It is a nightmare. Why are some of the current political interests in this country moving toward socialism? Socialism is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

New Regulations to Protect Healthcare Workers Religious Liberties

A 440 page document of regulations just released last Thursday, by the Trump administration, is aimed at protecting the religious liberties of healthcare workers. The regulations overseen by HHS, will have the ability to withhold federal funding if a healthcare institution does not comply. Maybe now we can halt the take down of the Little Sisters of the Poor, for being Public Enemy #1. Joking aside, regulations only last until the next administration that comes along, who disagrees with them and strikes them down. We do have a constitution that protects religious liberties, but for some reason that doesn't give me much comfort these days, as we witness the disregard for it by the politicians we put in office.
