A friendly Reminder

I’m sure you have lived long enough, as have I, to experience the fact that time and truth run hand in hand. Truth wins out in the end. Accordingly, the importance of truth in the capital community cannot be overstated. In this Bible study, the following proverbs depict the various benefits of being a man or a woman of truth. Understanding the benefits of being truthful versus the detriments of lying or bearing false witness proves motivational to say the least. Read on, my f

Family wisdom is one of the six main subjects that is repeatedly spoken about in the book of Proverbs. Solomon says much to his son Rehoboam regarding keeping his family in order as he leads the country. He would say the same to you. More broadly, when the institution of the family flounders in a country for whatever reasons, eventually the state will become overwhelmed with insurmountable problems. That’s biblically axiomatic. The State has a much easier job of maintaining c

As you know I regularly frequent the book of Proverbs. Of the 66 books of the Bible, this one is perhaps the most applicable for those choosing to live their lives under scrutiny in the capital. Solomon, king of Israel, is instructing his son, Rehoboam, on how to live skillfully in governmental leadership. Much can be gained from the topical study of this book.  Alcohol and Office  is one of those subjects that needs special consideration. Read on, my friends. Ralph Drolling

Forgiveness can be a difficult discipline to practice but is an indispensable character quality that must be continually cultivated over a lifetime. To be unforgiving is to pander to the old nature which the Scripture tells the believer to lay aside. To be unforgiving is to feed the desires of the flesh. Staff workers, friends, and family find gracious, forgiving people attractive, so cultivating this quality will actually help you.    In today’s out-of-control competitive, c

Given the nature of the capital community, many people live away from their home environments for regular, extended periods of time. The temptation for sexual sin is ever-present, and I have seen too many legislators, staff, and lobbyists fall prey to it. Accordingly, the following Bible study contains some key biblical insights related to staying sexually pure in a surreal environment like the US capital.  Ralph Drollinger I. INTRODUCTION  Power is an aphrodisiac that makes

Is so-called “gender affirming care” safe for minors? Do the states have a duty to protect minors from such care, even if the parents and doctors approve? Do transgender prohibitions violate the Equal Protection Clause? The transgender agenda has been moving fast the last few years. That said, several states have moved to slow their progress, especially among our young people. One state, Tennessee, is being sued by the federal government. Oral arguments were heard by the Supr

Have you received a census questionnaire this year? The Census is important, but lately it appears to be more about snooping on the American people. Could these census questionnaires actually be illegal? Have you received one of these? We’re all familiar with the decennial census, the enumeration of the population every ten years, but this isn’t one of those years. While the census is an important part of the union, it’s been corrupted and used illegally for decades, but thes

Do American medical boards extort doctors to tow the party line? Did American medical boards collude with the federal government to keep medical information away from the American people? And people wonder why trust in these institutions has fallen? There were plenty of infringement on people’s rights during the COVID scamdemic, and censorship was rampant. Not only did we have members of our own government colluding to censor information they didn’t like, but we’ve had profes

Should the history of Communism be taught in school? Is it within the powers of Congress to require the creation of such a curriculum? What is the impact of allowing Congress to dictate educational standards? There are a lot of things I’d like to see done better in this country. On that list, education is right up near the top, but is it right to break the law to improve education? That’s the question I asked myself when I read the text of H.R. 5349, The “Crucial Communism Te

What is a tort and why is it important? What is the federal law regarding tort claims against the federal government. Is this law constitutional? One of the reasons I like answering questions is they prompt me to look at things I hadn’t thought about before. Take for example the recent request I had to review the Federal Tort Claims Procedure. While I review lawsuits regularly here, I’d never taken the time to look at this particular legislation. What is a tort? Let’s start w
