The incident in question happened last weekend in Summerville, South Carolina. Late Saturday night, emergency personnel responded to a fire which had broken out at Thomas Concrete. When they arrived they found two trucks in flames. That’s also when 23-year-old Seth Brock Spigner was seen coming out of the woods near the scene of the […]
By now, you have probably heard that California has extended its version of Medicaid to include free health care for illegal immigrants. It’s a bold move, given that the state’s budget is nearly $70 billion in deficit. Nothing says “fiscal responsibility” more than inviting the entire world into your state for free medical care.

The late Steve Masty’s “The Test of the Magi” is a novel that displays a powerful religious imagination and a profound knowledge of the history and cultures of the ancient world, as well as personal experience with the geography and anthropology of the middle east.

The name should conjure up almost as much excitement as a board slamming hockey game, though.
