Is there a Moses in the House?

Is there a Moses in the House?Apathy is prevalent across the land. People are holed-up in their homes waiting for their governor to give them permission to go about their business. Governor Pete Ricketts (R) of Nebraska used the word "allow" when directing the citizenry about opening their "nonessential" businesses and "nonessential" churches. And this in a conservative state smack in the middle of the heartland. (Listen to the restrictions being imposed for conducting worship services, overstepping the First Amendment by essentially establishing a state religion of COVID-19.)

Trusting government forces a false famine

This worldwide economic collapse was not serendipitous, nor was the unloosing of a “pandemic” on fear-filled populations. Coincidences are not accidental – the nature of the word tells us as much. Co – incidence: two or more events occurring at the same time.

How long does it take to change the habits of a society?

How long does it take to change the habits of a society?This is the question in regard to forced lockdowns and shuttering businesses. Experts quibble over the amount of time it takes for a new habit, good or bad, to be formed. Some say 21 days, some say 30 or 45 days and some say it takes three months to change an individual’s thinking.

Governors disregard Constitution tagging businesses, worship “nonessential”

Governors disregard Constitution tagging businesses, worship nonessentialThe United States has entered the realm of government tyranny, not that enough people have noticed, owing to the hype and computer models based on misrepresented statistics of COVID-19. News agencies have been tripping over themselves to exaggerate the health crisis they helped create, the latest effort being an attempt to tie heightened numbers of cases to low income (and so, obviously, minority) populations. Not one of the mainstream network or cable news channels is proving to be immune from the liberal virus of identity politics. Dr. Fauci handing them fodder by tying COVID-19 to the Black community, like he did HIV-AIDS decades ago, is a disappointing commentary for the Trump administration allowing identity disease to seep into the COVID-19 narrative.

Power of the Church denied in the wake of COVID-19

Power of the Church denied in the wake of COVID-19By whom? The unexpected answer is, "By the Church itself." For proof, all one has to do is drive down the road on Sunday morning in the Bible Belt and see how many church parking lots are completely vacant. Why?

Covid-19 versus American resilience

Covid-19 versus American resilienceToo many Americans can see through the attempted government takeover on all levels that is being ushered in by the coronavirus “crisis.” As was done under the Obama administration, Congress is using the cover of an emergency to force through unnecessary regulations. The pandemic emergency doesn’t reach a fraction of the annual flu season numbers that has already contributed to the deaths of some 22,000 in the United States alone. And the CDC projects that up to 55,000 could succumb before the year is out.

Media stirs Covid19 panic; terror leaders vacillate if coronavirus is a curse or miracle

Media stirs Covid19 panic;Spreading alarm has become a sideline for the mainstream press. If it isn't inciting fear of Russians, Ukrainians or other assorted malefactors messing with our elections and supposedly recruiting republicans to carry out their misdeeds (democrats are never under suspicion by virtue of their party affiliation), then it's whipping up dread of disease.

Popular conservatism

Popular conservatismConservatism is going through throes with a debatable outcome. Surging among millennials is an interest in politics--but a gap in their education raises the question of how well they understand the ideologies to which they are aligning themselves. Decades of transforming school curricula has turned out graduates lacking fundamental knowledge of history, enabled by teaching them revamped vocabulary littered with twisted definitions. Engineered education that instituted concepts taken directly from the Communist Manifesto1 has resulted in younger generations unable to identify true conservatism, though a growing number of millennials claim to be believers.

USA "open for business" just as the Founders envisioned

USA open for business just as the Founders envisioned, TrumpReaction from the democrat (socialist) left to President Trump’s assertion that the United States is open for business has been strange, to say the least. As promised, the president has worked diligently to swing wide the doors of commerce for America, renegotiating trade deals and lowering the hurdles for domestic manufacturers, luring them back to native shores.

Is it Virginia gun laws that would have no legal force?

Northam’s proposals to register and restrict the sale and ownership of certain firearmsVirginia’s switch to an all-democrat state government after the last election has ushered in a new era of megalomania among the state legislators. Following the usual pattern of wangling their way to power, the first thing liberals target is the Second Amendment and Virginia’s top officials have wasted no time in their pursuit of gun grabbing.

Communists use pols, polls, espionage and religion to crush America

Communists use pols, polls, espionage and religion to crush AmericaShots are being fired from every direction targeting the basic freedom that forms the foundation of American culture. Communist China interferes with out electoral process, steals our national defense secrets, undermines our economy and suppresses their own population; Pope Francis endorses sins against Earth; Congress ignores the Constitution; and deeply embedded agents in the U.S. Justice and Intelligence Departments are laboring to “initiate the destruction of the republic.”

Speak truth to power, Democrats, The Resistance

Speak truth to power?The phrase “Speak truth to power” has cropped up numerous times this year, mostly from Democrats working with inordinate vigor to unseat President Trump. Overused by individuals and organizations promoting political and humanitarian causes, it has been diluted to the point of being meaningless.

Power under restraint – defending the Trump presidency

Power under restraint – defending the Trump presidencyOutward appearances may seem to contradict the headline’s premise but, in fact, it is what the Trump presidency embodies, tweets and periodic bombast notwithstanding. Beginning with the biblical definition of meek, as used by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount when He said those demonstrating that quality would inherit the earth, it is misconstrued in that context to mean quiet, unassertive individuals.

Did Hillary strike a nerve?

Did Hillary strike a nerve?

Exhausted as we may be by Hillary Clinton’s unending blame parade, she may have accidentally (purposefully?) shone a light on the sham that is Tulsi Gabbard. That Clinton didn’t actually name any presidential candidate other than it being a woman makes Gabbard’s response of interest.

Redistributing misery... uh, creating "A Just Society"

Redistributing misery... uh, creating A Just SocietyFrom the Green New Deal meant to battle the nonexistent enemy of Climate Change, wild-eyed Dems have expanded their target to include the ever-popular gripe of income inequality. Repackaged as "A Just Society: The Uplift Our Workers Act," non-representative Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the face for a bill that institutionalizes government control over employers and labor. Unions become passé as far as the socialist wing of the democrat party is concerned as this giddy sounding legislation undermines worker-driven contract negotiations (corruption notwithstanding) and delivers it into the hands of an "executive agency."

Tolerating religious persecution... or are we

Tolerating religious persecution in IndiaNot five days ago, a direct report came from India how government agencies have Christian organizations under constant telephone, internet and financial surveillance.

McLuhan's 'Media is the Message' Now 'Message of the Media

McLuhan's 'Media is the Message' Now 'Message of the MediaThe latest salvos in the war on America's heritage exploded last week, fired-off by major media, congressional actors and stage-managed youth. After 50 years of leftist academics and media rewriting history, the New York Times is going for broke. Re-imagined history (because the Times' 1619 Project is a figment of their imagination) was built into an emotional introspection peddled as a serious examination of this nation's founding.

Refusing enemies entry to your home

Isn't it so racist that Israel won't let us in the country Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu closed the door when enemies came knocking, and not without good reason. History is a harsh teacher but a necessary one when it comes to self-preservation and Israel used common sense in refusing permission for Representatives Omar Ilhan and Rashida Tlaib to enter the country. Expect democrats and leftists around the globe to berate Israel with epithets of "racist" and claiming the Israeli government is denying free speech when the decision to shut-out these two members of Congress is a matter of wisdom.
