Horsing around in Pompano
Yes the horseman should get a proper share from Pompano Park’s new revenue source, but at the same time the racing industry should be grateful. Without the casino, Pompano Park may have died like so many other racetracks.

On The Bright Side, Church Mission Trips Will Be More Convenient Than Ever

War Memorial Destroyed: HELP Needed
This is not a political issue, it is not a Republican nor Democratic issue, we may all disagree about Iraq, but I see Republicans and Democrats alike claiming they support our troops, I see people saying they honor our veterans…. so let us do so.

From All Sides
Hamas and Fatah continue fighting with each other and Hamas thinks that it also has time to continue its war with Israel. Israel is obliging by destroying Hamas targets as it finds them.

Shavuot and a world without Jews

But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not…

$100 Shoelaces and Healthcare in America
If the Government made shoes then shoelaces would cost $100, just as a single aspirin in a hospital today costs $10 or more. We don’t need more government interference in our health system, we need less.

I am breaking my own rule. I have to because I must speak out. I am compelled and convicted to do so.

Israel Walks Fine Line on Palestinian Civil War
Barhoum has a point. Why should Palestinian terrorists kill each other when they could focus on killing Israelis. Hamas hasn’t stopped firing rockets, and we should think that Israel shouldn’t return fire?
