What a blessing to hear our USA cheerleader, President Trump, this evening. He speaks extemporaneously, from the heart with vigor and power. It invigorates our hope and our spirit. What a beautiful, enthusiastic difference from the last six months. We, who are conservatives, needed this "shot in the arm." I, one of many, have missed our "get the job done" President. The difference between "do nothing" Biden and President Trump is mammoth. There is more to come. Praise the Lord! Orolie Gubser...

So let me get this straight and I am sure some of you on the left will enlighten us with your absurd justification, but OSHA is suspending the requirement of employers to report injuries caused by the vaccine that employers are requiring their employees to take in an effort to convince people to take this vaccine?

California has decided to restrict state-funded travel to five more red states, bringing the total to 17. This is partisan politics cloaked in non-discrimination. This action is consistent with this whole new culture of anti-bias and social justice. California Attorney General Rob Bonta made the announcement partly because the red states are “working to prevent transgender women and girls from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity.” It was als...

Your core is the center of gravity in your body. You use this area of your body constantly doing nearly every task as simple as bending over and standing back up. Building a strong core isn't just about doing 1,000 crunches a day though. Your core isn't just about having a flat stomach with a six-pack either. So let's discuss the role of the core as well and why we need to be strong in this area. Nearly all movements are central to your core. Your torso is your powerhouse....
