On the throne was the worst king in the history of Israel up to that time; Ahab. Elijah comes to Ahab for a showdown — full of confidence, with the proper perspective of his Lord God. He comes almost with a bravado and tells Ahab, “Let’s have it out once and for all. This god your wife Jezebel has imported into this nation must be destroyed. Let us have a showdown between Jezebel’s god — Baal — and the Lord God Jehovah. Prayer answered by fire will be the test.”

Last weekend, Roger Stone was interviewed by Mike Huckabee on his TBN program. In it, Stone made some remarkable assertions which, if true, indicate just how badly the justice system has become skewed in our country today. He, for example, insisted that of the 12 people on the jury which has convicted him, every single individual was a Democrat activist. There were no Republicans. There were no Independents. The supposed diversity of the jury all pertained to superficial issues of skin color and ethnicity. Philosophies, however, were uniform, liberal, and opposed to Trump.

Thank you for all the well wishes after my first “Capital Highlights” column last week. I also appreciate the emails suggesting topics of high interest.
