My column this week. There's a bill in the Alabama Senate that would make it a crime to conceal, harbor or shield “from detection an illegal alien if he or she knows or reasonably should have known that the other individual is an illegal alien.” It's language that evokes the worst of our history.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.

Delivery of groceries curtailed by weather so ventured out to shop for our family and my daughter’s family. Like the old days of 2020 before pickup and delivery became our norm. Was the only one to #maskup but glad to be out with my paper list and pen.

Jimmy Carter didn’t sell Bibles with his name on them, claim to be God’s appointed leader, or promise to make Christianity great again.
He lived out his faith through love and service by pursuing peace worldwide, teaching Sunday school, and building 4,447 homes with Habitat for Humanity.
