As a Parent, Do You Say “No” More Than “Yes”

Yes Day

If you’re a parent, chances are you’ve grown accustomed to saying “no” – and for good reason.

By their very nature, children love to test the limits. If there’s an edge, you can bet they’ll find it. 

Back when our sons, Trent and Troy, were young, I remember how they often wanted to go faster, higher, farther and deeper. 

When we allowed them to watch one movie, they’d ask to make it a double feature. If one dessert was good, two would be better.

‘The Hunt’ cancelation is welcome news – murdering political opponents isn’t entertaining or funny

As you may have recently heard, Universal Pictures announced Saturday it had canceled the planned September release of the film “The Hunt” about liberals hunting conservative “Deplorables” who fit the description of supporters of President Trump.

The cancelation was a victory for common sense and decency.

But as I wrote for Fox News, liberals have been – metaphorically speaking – “hunting” religious conservatives for years. They have been attempting to deconstruct our traditional values, as well as seeking to tear down all the institutions that so many of us hold dear.

The Lure of Hallmark Christmas Movies

Are you a fan of the predictably poignant but proudly and admittedly syrupy and sappy Hallmark Christmas movies?

The Hallmark Hall of Fame franchise, which dates back to 1951, is the longest running prime time series in television history.  Although the specials have evolved over the years, the concept of using feel-good entertainment to market a company’s products has to go down as one of the most brilliant moves in the history of retail sales promotion.
