Job's Lament

Waking to the news,  I've predicted all along that the hopelessly corrupted election machine that stole Georgia for Biden has successfully stolen two Senate seats as well, I perceived the dawn of a day I've anticipated for at least sixty years.  The veneer of constitutionally limited government is about to fall off the last best hope for human freedom.  Since the feckless elected Republican posers have finished pretending to tilt at windmills and the best Congress money can buy has ratified Placeholder Joe as the winner of the most corrupt election in American History, we shall all witness the emergence of a one-party state, with rigged elections, and a soviet-style injustice system.  

The Watchmen Warned Us 

Many Americans yearn to return to the days of yesteryear when slouching on the couch, drinking a beer, and watching the game was enough intellectual stimulation for one day.  Or as Frank Zappa once expressed it, "TV dinner by the pool, I'm so glad I finished school life is such a ball I run the world from City Hall."  It was this noninvolved attitude that allowed activists dedicated to fundamentally transforming America to capture the culture, academia, the media, the techno sphere, and ultimately power.  The best way to sum up the mental sleepwalking of those who luxuriated in the peace and plenty provided by the American experiment is found in a French phrase: Comme ci, comme ça that literally means like this, like that. In conversation it means so-so, or neither good, nor bad.   

A New You for a New Year

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Have you reached the end of your rope only to find out that it’s much shorter than you imagined? Was last year as good as you hoped it would be? Was it as bad as you feared it would be? Does the uncertainty of the future leave you anxious? Has your own mortality entered like a crack in the ice in your youthful belief in personal indestructability?

Finding Peace Amid Chaos

Rudyard Kipling in If, which I believe is the best poem ever written begins, "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you," setting the stage for a recitation for the human qualities needed to rise above circumstances.  These are the types of mature actions and reactions visible when the shifting tides of daily life don't toss us about like a piece of driftwood in the surf.  Maturity provides stability and confidence not shaken by the ebb and flow of change marking the boundaries of life. 

How to Stay Sane in a World Gone Mad

For those of us who support the notion of maintaining the integrity of the great American experiment in personal liberty and economic freedom within the framework of a representative republic operating on democratic principles, the events unfolding before us are the stuff of Orwellian nightmares.  Like watching a slow-motion train wreck, we have tuned in day after day to the spectacle of the once celebrated fairness of the American election system descending to a level that would make third-world banana republics, the old Soviet satellites, and Mideast pretend democracies blush.  

America's Most Pro-Life President 

For those of us with even a passing knowledge of biology the idea that life begins at conception is not a religious or moral decision it is an empirical fact.  Within the impregnated egg is the spark of life.  In tandem with this is the knowledge that this fertilized egg contains the genetic code for a unique individual, a member of the human family.  For those who believe God is the source of all life we know the fundamental genesis of this reality even if we don't know the particulars of a specific case.  This last sentence could be called an article of faith.  The three preceding sentences are not a leap in the dark.  They are fact-based and undeniable. 

Empires Rise and Empires Fall

Almost everyone has heard the saying of Winston Churchill, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” It’s true that one of the most important benefits of studying History is that it gives us the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others. However, a careful study of History teaches us that this seldom happens. Which is why I’ve added an addendum to Churchill’s famous saying, “Those who do study History are doomed to watch everyone else repeat it.”

How Do I Get To Heaven?

Many people believe they can find their own way to heaven.  They think they can figure it out on their own.  That's sort of like trying to lift yourself up by your own bootstraps.  I've often offered a one-hundred-dollar bill to anyone who can do that.  I still have that hundred-dollar bill.     Some people think they'll get to heaven by being a good enough person.  Some may even fool others into thinking they've accomplished it.  But in our heart-of-hearts we all know who we are and where we're lacking in this department.  

Why Socialist Revolutionaries Will Vote for Biden

Joe Biden is not a socialist revolutionary.  Throughout his seemingly never-ending career as a professional politician he's been a run-of-the-mill machine democrat.  As with all the others crowding the government trough, he's worked hard to live out the advice of Harry Hopkins, a New Deal Democratic administrator who personified the ideology of the New Deal in the 1930s and President FDR's closest personal adviser, "We shall tax and tax, and spend and spend, and elect and elect."  

Defending American History

Every revolution seeks to distort, tarnish, and destroy any sign of the positive accomplishments of the society they seek to replace.  During our own Revolution, our ancestors tore down statues of George III and melted them down to make bullets and cannons.  Therefore, it's no surprise that during the current Democrat-led revolt the military wings of the party, BLM and ANTIFA, seek to desecrate and destroy the monuments raised by generations of patriotic Americans celebrating our shared culture.  

Renewing, Recovering, Restoring, Rebuilding

Make America Great Again Again!  He did it once and he can do it again.  By taking the shackles off the American people and our economy President Donald Trump in three short years led us from the doldrums of Obama's New Normal to the greatest economic boom the world has ever seen.  Record growth, record unemployment, and corporations returning from overseas by every metric America was taking off like a rocket.  Then came the Social Security Flu and the plandemic.  Then came the outrage in Minneapolis and the 1619 revolution. 

Our Future Belongs to Patriots Not Globalists

On September 24, 2019 in the U.N. General Assembly: the seedbed of globalism, President Trump gave a major address charting a prosperous future for countries the world over, which is one built on the empowerment of citizens and respect for national sovereignty. Standing in the spotlight of attention from the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media and staring down the glares from the New World Order fanatics, our President zeroed in on the basic problems that have been seeping out of the UN and festering around the world for generations. He didn’t equivocate. He didn’t pull any punches, stating boldly, “Globalism exerted a religious pull over past leaders, causing them to ignore their own national interests.”

The Lessons of History

Empires rise and empires fall. They usually don’t end with a bang. They end with a whimper. Revolts become revolutions when those sent by the authorities to put them down instead join the revolt. Is that what we’re beginning to see as police and National Guard troops kneel in submission before BLM and ANTIFA? Many who railed against those who kneeled for the playing of our national anthem now kneel before those who showed their contempt for America. Are the reins of power about to slip from the limp hands of the descendants of the Minutemen, the Grand Army of the Republic, and all the heroes who won the wars and enforced the peace? Are the cultural, financial, social, and political structures we’ve known all our lives about to be upended?

President Trump Stands Up For Religious Liberty

President Trump addressed a United Nations Event on Religious Freedom. In his speech he boldly spoke up for religious freedom and against religious persecution saying, "The United States is founded on the principle that our rights do not come from government; they come from God.  This immortal truth is proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the First Amendment to our Constitution's Bill of Rights.  Our Founders understood that no right is more fundamental to a peaceful, prosperous, and virtuous society than the right to follow one's religious convictions. 

So Is President Trump A Racist? Fuggedaboutit 

President Trump, who was presented with numerous awards from Black organizations as a supporter of equality for all before the Democrat establishment and the Democrats who identify as journalists decided to accuse him of racism, works tirelessly to empower America's forgotten communities.  According to President Trump on September 10, 2019, "We're lifting up forgotten communities, creating exciting new opportunities, and helping every American find their path to the American Dream." 

The Blue State Blockade

It took just three years for President Donald Trump to lead America from the perpetually stagnant New Normal of the Clinton/Bush/Obama Trifecta of Failure back to the Morning in America of the Reagan era.  This was nothing short of an economic miracle that began the day after America's blue-collar billionaire won the biggest upset in our political history when the stock market took off like a rocket.

Pandemic Response Critics Trumped by Facts

In the waning days of 2019 before the onset of the Social Security Flu, according to two separate studies the United States was ranked the nation best-prepared to deal with a pandemic.  Refuting the outlandish and false claims of the Democrats Fox News reported both the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (JHCHS) based on  Global Health Security Index found that out of all the countries on this planet, America led by the Trump administration, was more prepared to deal with an international pandemic than any other. 

The Peace That Passes Understanding 

America teeters on the edge of the abyss.  Professional revolutionaries organized and funded by the Alt-left Progressives seek to provoke the Trump Administration into a response they can label as disproportionate or over-the-top.  As President Trump moves to quell the violence by any means necessary the Democrats who identify as journalists take every opportunity to label his response as disproportionate or over-the-top.  Some go so far as to say President Trump is assuming dictatorial power and that his attempt to restore the rule of law to the burning blue cities is as ruthless as Khrushchev stomping out the revolution in Hungary in 1956 or Brezhnev smothering the Prague Spring of 1968.  This is a stunning bit of hyperbole from the purveyors of fake news. 

Somebody Has to Say It 

Where are the voices of those crying in the wilderness?  Where are the watchers on the walls?  If the alarm isn't given how will the people know when the enemy enters the camp?  In America today the descendants of those who fought the most powerful empire in the world to gain their freedom, the children of those who scaled Pointe du Hoc and slogged their way from Normandy to the heart of Germany to defeat the Nazi killing machine, cower in government mandated lockdowns in fear of getting sick.  The speed with which Americans have surrendered their hard won and hard defended freedom is shocking.  What's next?  The "Show me your papers," of tyrannical internal passports, or the ludicrous idea that we keep the economy closed long enough to destroy it? 

How Fake News is Manufactured 

Our President has pointed out the fake news at many of his rallies and news conferences.  He specifically identifies CNN, MSNBC, The AP, The New York Times and The Washington Post as primary sources for the misinformation and downright lies that pass for news among the low-information voters.  The Democrats who identify as journalists served up a perfect case in point on Friday.
