Donald Trump has stumbled and fallen, and the establishment is not going to let slip this last opportunity to stomp him and his movement to death.

There seems to be only one area of common ground in our country today: agreement that something is wrong.

The first 100,000 or so doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Georgia in December and were deployed to hospitals and long-term care facilities around the state. Now that more doses are arriving, how many people will get the vaccine?

Agreements can reach the point to where they are no longer beneficial to both sides. It is safe to say that the Glynn County government saw that having former police chief John Powell on the payroll was no longer beneficial to taxpayers.

Hard to believe that by the afternoon after the historic win of not one, but two U.S. Senate seats, shifting the Senate majority from Republican to a tie with the Democratic Party, and moving a historically GOP state (of nearly 20 years), clearly into battleground territory had already moved…

She wasn’t thrilled when I told her I had been invited to write an occasional column for a local publication. After more than three decades in the Bell System and three arduous years as part of the staging of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, she thought it time to enjoy a long-awaited reti…

Georgia may be a purple state now in national politics, or even a blue one given the trifecta Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock completed in this past week’s U.S. Senate runoffs. But it remains solidly red under the Gold Dome in Atlanta.

Not since the British stormed the United States Capitol has it been invaded by those out to end the American constitutional system. But it happened this week at the hands of American citizens. Encouraged by President Donald Trump — and let’s not mince words here; he told them to march on the…

It’s the first week of January 2021, and the 2020 elections are over. In my home state of Georgia, the votes from the runoff races were being tabulated. There were three statewide races on the ballot: two U.S. Senate seats and one Public Service Commission seat. All three races had incumbent…

While sitting in the Delta lounge in the Atlanta airport waiting for my flight back to Washington, a White gentleman approached me and struck up a conversation.

Cue violin music — the familiar theme of ‘The Godfather’— “All I need for you to do is find 11,780 votes for me,” Don Vito Corleone, in the opening scene of The Godfather, IV.

President-elect Joe Biden has proposed adding a “Medicare-like” public option that would serve as an option for consumers to receive health insurance. Americans would also be able to choose their own private insurance and would now only spend a lower income rate to obtain it. Biden officials…

In its most recent exercise of liberal democracy, the state senate of Massachusetts voted 32-8 to override Gov. Charlie Baker’s veto of what is called the Roe Act. One day earlier, the state house had voted to override.

Was 2020 the worst year ever? The media keep saying that.

Demography isn’t destiny, no matter how many people insist otherwise. Two recent reports underscored that reality.

Who could have predicted how dreadful a year 2020 would be.

Nearly everyone has seen the classic movie “The Shawshank Redemption.” Well, it turns out there is a real life “Red” Redding, the character played by Morgan Freeman. He is in prison in Alabama. He has been there for nearly 40 years. He was guilty of his crime: a murder he committed as a teen…

It has just finished snowing here in Pennsylvania, and the forest looks magical, draped in white. It takes on a silvery blue shine under the blue sky that emerged after the storm finished leaving its mark. The silence is soon broken by the crunching of snowshoes off in the distance.

One of the many beauties of freedom is there is always surprise.

Friends inform me that Donald Trump is not the first politician ever to lie.

Though many researchers and scientists believe our Christmas gift from Wuhan, China, arrived stateside late last year, it didn’t start making us feel feverish with delight or hacking up a lung or any of the asymptomatic versions of the novel Coronavirus until later in 2020. And now, a holida…

Has there ever been a year that better informed what the next year’s work ought to be? Perhaps, but the to-do list for Georgia in 2021 clearly takes its cues from the mercifully ending 2020.

If America were a company and not a country, we would have long ago dissolved the corporation, split the blanket, and gone our separate ways.

F. F. Bruce is one of those scholars I have had to spend a lot of time reading in seminary. He researched and wrote some of the best material on the history of the Bible and its accuracy. In studying the ancient texts that we have, Bruce has noted that there are only around nine or 10 manusc…

What would our nation look like if every day, every American — of every background and ethnicity — were to wake up with the conviction that they are 100% responsible for the circumstances of their lives?

As an economist, the most thoughtful gift to give this time of year is simply money. This has some real benefits. I avoid making a bad selection by choosing something that plugs in. Next, I don’t have to worry about the right size. Finally, no crowds and, given our current situation, avoid g…

This column has become a Christmas tradition. I share with you once again this year. It is dedicated to my beloved wife and to all who believe.

Like many I was surprised, but not shocked, when Donald Trump posted a respectable win over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College in 2016. There would be a few faithless electors in the Electoral College who tried to break away from supporting Trump that day, but they w…

This looks to be a different kind of Christmas. Many will carry on as before, but some will choose a socially distanced Yule. Some will be forced to keep away from family or friends who have fallen ill, and others will spend their first Christmas since losing a loved one. Even the usual hear…
