To America On The Eve Of Its Destruction ...

Like a spitting cobra, a viper or a fox, a confident and smiling Hillary is saying anything she can to get her prey to let her in. It has taken a tenth of a second (if you are my age at least) for the Clintons to claw - tooth and nail - from Arkansas to Washington. Most of the time Mrs. Clinton has been posing as June Cleaver. Now she is masquerading as the quintessential grandma - whatever it takes to lull her lightheaded constituency long enough to seize the most powerful office on earth. (And by the way, Hillary, Captain Kangaroo called .... said he wants his clothes back.)

If You Are A Christian, VOTE like It!

Do you consider yourself to be a Christian? If so, I offer you the following thoughts regarding your involvement with this 2016 election.

A Vote for Hillary is a vote for Islamic Terrorism

Back in the formative days of our great nation - in Boston there was a big elm tree the patriots then knew as 'The Liberty Tree.' That was where they met to encourage one another and to exchange ideas.

A Call To Arms! A Cry For Help! PASS THIS ON!!!!

It's only seconds away from election day. I have during the past months written well researched articles that should send any sincere voter running away from Hillary like a scalded cat. But this is not an issues-based election, in that the people who pose the greatest threat to the survival of free America are not thinkers.

Madonna, You Can Get Off Your Knees

During the impeachment investigation of our 42nd President (1998-99), Bill Clinton’s unrestrained fun in the Oval Office allowed the lamestream media to acquaint what was left of America's lingering innocence with alternative uses of the cigar. Of course the story was everywhere because Bill's indiscretion opened a previously sealed file before the whole world - and so everybody could then talk about it.

If Nixon Had Done Emailgate, He Would Have Died In Prison

The second presidential debate pushed these two thoughts into the front of my brain: First, why are the moderators always allowed to be so egregiously, unapologetically, shamelessly biased against Mr. Trump? And, secondly, and this is not supposed to be funny - indeed, it is no laughing matter - why didn't Hillary do her part of the debate dressed in orange and in a concrete and steel cell - pacing back and forth under an observation camera?

Finally I Can See What 'Emailgate' is REALLY All About!

To date, I'm not real certain that anyone has logically put all the parts together regarding the puzzle/debacle of Hillary's homemade, basement Internet server. I want to keep this a quick read, mainly because I think the issue has already been sufficiently obscured by the sea of words put forth surrounding it. And if someone else has made this point, well, I will own my ignorance and surely wear that throughout the balance of my writing career. As anyone who does conservative commentary will attest, unless you employ a staff of researchers it is impossible to read (or write) fast enough to keep up with all the garbage taking down our country today. So this angle may not be news to some of you.

Transcending everything else: The Man Behind the Curtain

Former full-time genius, Winston Churchill, once added this to his bottomless library of brilliant quotes and observations: " A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." And so it is with our archenemy's principal weapon in the battle that rages between free-willed mankind and the adversary of our souls, a very real devil. He is the father of all lies, and when he speaks he doesn't waste a word. And he wastes no time in getting his message out.

Brexit: The Shot Heard 'Round The World!

"The party is over. Everybody out of the pool - at least for the moment." Britain, by only a very small margin, elected to leave the European Union. This, most probably the Brit's last stand for independence, is an object lesson that absolutely should not go unheeded by the United States that is aspiring, tooth and nail, to be the next Finland.

Islam: The 'Light' That Is Darkness

A couple of weeks ago a woman working at a sandwich shop on the West Coast was venerated by a local TV station for refusing to do business with some guy who hurled anti-Islamic criticism at a couple of girl patrons wearing hijabs. In the shop's video, you can hear his disparaging remarks regarding the bad things Islam is bringing upon America. The crusading employee who expelled the name-caller was proud and bubbly as she detailed her defense of the two 'Muslim' girls and how she wouldn't accept the man's money (and took back her food).

The 'Religion Of Peace' Rears Its Ugly Head - Again!

Jesus said that we can know the genuine value or worthiness of any person or group by simply looking at the quality of what they produce. Specifically, he said: “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil." (Luke 6:43-45 NKJV)

Not All The Bad Guys Are Behind Bars

A while back I was invited to tour a newly opened maximum-security prison. My host, an upper echelon officer of the state's Department of Corrections, drove me to the big gate at the multi-facility prison grounds. Along the way were a half-dozen subsequent checkpoints with mirrored, bulletproof windows that housed the vaguely-silhouetted guards who monitored dozens of cameras. At the huge, brick and concrete 'New Max', we walked among twenty-foot-high cyclone and barbed-wire walls topped with concertina wire.

"Be Confident In Your Blackness"

In his recent commencement address at Howard University our president's racism-laced message to graduates strategically included the words, "Be Confident in your blackness." But what most got my attention was that his entire speech was presented in his own version of 'homeboy' with a clumsy Ebonic lilt/cadence.

2016 America’s Gift To Hillary - The Oval Office! Part 2

I am an American writer, and I am proud of my association with Canada Free Press. It is the Canadian paper that behaves in a more traditionally American spirit than do many publications based in the United States. I think if Benjamin Franklin were alive today, and looking to resurrect his Pennsylvania Gazette, he would soon be in league with CFP whose motto/battle cry is, "Because without America, there is no free world."

2016 America's Gift To Hillary - The Oval Office!

Four years ago the right caved. And it's going to keep happening because none of what caused it last time has changed.

Leading Us Down The Aisle

The former Democratic senator from Pennsylvania, Harris Wofford, has announced his plans to marry his boyfriend, Matthew Charlton, this weekend. To most anyone over 30 years old (who might not have heard about this engagement) the news should naturally still knock a bit of the wind out of you.

Into The Minds Of Babes

Back in '86 I saw Oliver Stone's graphically intense ‘Platoon’. It was opening in a brand new theater with a screaming sound system that made you feel as though you were in the center of the battle. Sitting right across the aisle were two well-dressed, young, absolutely moronic parents who had their son sitting between them.

Before It’s Too Late: Islamic Violence In America

Obama’s most recent breathtaking whopper, “Republican base has been fed this notion that Islam is inherently violent,” is now plastered all over the Internet like a “BRIDGE IS OUT” sign. Yet any unified protest to this lie is only voiced by a shrinking, relative few who have bothered to do their homework. Barry has once again, just as he has with global warming and other bottomless issues, lied and used his place of influence to shut down the argument for the selfish expediting of his own pet agendas.

Common Sense Doesn't Need A Visa

Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin's recent combative remark, "tanks don't need visas," is what can be called an 'overflow.' They were easy words for him to say because the United States is only a threat as long as our oil is still flowing and our words are still considered solid. With our economy in the hands of the Chinese, and our nation overrun with and generally governed by selfish children, he felt comfortable in saying that. 'Taking down America' is probably a break room joke between Vladimir Putin and the rest of the boys. (Notice that he was not in the slightest censured for his remarks. That's got to tell you something -- or at least it should.)

Islam: Dirty Work At The Crossroads

My first real job out of college was riding trains as a brakeman in the Colorado Rockies. Immediately, one learns as a railroader that a speeding coal train – at a mile-and-a-half long and weighing in at nearly fifty million pounds – doesn’t stop on a dime. It takes a long time and a lot of space to even noticeably slow all that mass down. Oftentimes when a car or truck straddled our tracks at a crossing over a mile away, the engineer and I would soon become very concerned if the vehicle didn’t move after we began blowing our horns of warning.
