Shining light on our faith, politics and culture.

You Are The Light Of The World

Over the past several years, thousands of people in my local area have been touched by an incrediblly fulfilling Christian mission called Light of the World Ministry. Our small group is one of dozens in the local area, and it is growing (much like it did about 2,000 years ago) to ignite peoples’ hearts and souls in nearby parishes, towns, counties and states.

Why Is It So Hard To See Black And Blue? Salvation Army’s Powerful Campaign To Fight Abuse Against Women and Children

Someone was thinking, when they created this powerful image on behalf of Carehaven, a program operated by the Salvation Army in Capetown, South Africa. The infamous “black and blue, or is it gold and white” dress was featured by the Salvation Army in this hard-hitting campaign. Domestic abuse affects many women in South Africa. One…

China’s Little-Known Clone of Paris

Another One of China’s Empty Cities: This is Just Weird. 

Paris, China? Someone in China thought it was a great idea to clone Paris, France. So, they built its nearly identical twin city, at nearly full scale. Seriously! Check out this video. They also built the world’s largest shopping center which opened in 2011, and promptly failed. So, what do you do when the streets of Faux Paris are empty, and the Mall of More Air-ica go belly up?

A Trip To Fraser Island, Australia: Roughing It In Style

If you’re up for an authentic adventure, head on over to Fraser Island, off the coast of eastern Australia. Bring your all-wheel drive vehicle and a UEV-490 Trailer too! This video segment will either take you on a mini adventure, or leave you wondering, “Why would ANYONE EVER do that?”

Who’s Really To Blame For Our Government’s Failures, Democrats or Republicans?

Nobody Wins When We’re Fighting Ourselves.

Democrats blame Republicans for the failure of our government. Just as loudly, Republicans blame Democrats for the failure of our government. I’ve got to say, I think this may be the one time when both sides are telling the truth.

Just as the Executive and Legislative Branches of U.S. government were designed to make balanced progress through a constant struggle for both progress and power, so should the relationship between our politicians and citizens work. Obviously, it’s not working.

Not Impossible’s “Project Daniel: uses 3D printers to make prosthetic arms for children ravaged by war in South Sudan

Not Impossible, LLC Taps Into the Innovation Community to Transform Lives and Revolutionize Healthcare by Facilitating DIY, Open-Source Technology Collaborations, and Compelling Action via Inspiring Content

A Venice, California media and technology company is using 3D printing to provide hands and arms for amputees in South Sudan and the war-torn Nuba Mountains. In November, 2013, Not Impossible printed a prosthetic hand that allowed a teenager to feed himself for the first time in two years.

Project Daniel is the second life-changing project that Not Impossible has unveiled. In 2010, company CEO & founder Mick Ebeling spearheaded the creation of the Eyewriter, eye-tracking glasses with free, open-source software that enabled a renowned graffiti artist paralyzed by ALS to draw and communicate using only his eyes.

How To Get To The Truth Behind Benghazi: Waterboard Petraeus With a Civil Lawsuit

Much as I like seeing Trey Gowdy in action, and know he’ll chair the Congressional Benghazi inquiry with exceptional skill and fairness, I have another approach which could save millions of taxpayer dollars AND get to the truth behind what happened in Benghazi.

BEFORE we go through the long, drawn-out, expensive and divisive affair of yet another Congressional investigation, here’s an idea…

Dan From Squirrel Hill’s Journal of Obama’s Lies, Lawbreaking, Corruption and Cronyism

Dan from Squirrel Hill originally posted this on August 15, 2013, updating it several times along the way. As you might expect, it’s formidable – probably as long as you’d expect, then multiply that estimate by three.

Obama’s Long List of Shady Dealings

Last updated: June 6, 2014, this list should concern you, if you care about the future of our states, united:

• $6 trillion in new national debt under Obama…after he promised to decrease the deficit.

• Billions of taxpayer dollars gambled on “green” companies like Solyndra, NextEra, Ener1, Solar Trust and many others — all of which went bankrupt. 

• Intentional refusal to enforce federal immigration laws.
