Times certainly have changed when catchy words can dismiss our relevant past. Despite such gibberish, what endures are our deeply embedded instincts to care for and love those we have brought into this world. That, in addition to our natural love of country, portrays just how immoral and evil it would be to do otherwise. … Read more
Over the many years since Vietnam, the caliber of our governance has only strengthened my skepticism and doubt. It also had me coming to grips with “we weren’t in it to win it!” And now, this recent election has justified my suspicions. It also validated my seemingly lifelong question, “Just what would Americans defend?” Admittedly, … Read more
If America were in a baseball game, all its bases would be full. What this means is that any public inquiry of events, actions, or statements has been preconditioned through the negativity of a “conspiracy theory!” This automatically blurs any questioning with suspicion. So, with this being said, inquisitive minds are best suited for what … Read more
Today is not a mystery but rather a continuation of the greed that captures the human heart. Its latest alias, globalization, is today’s “must-have” need. Its destructive quality, however, while masked by the terms of innovation and equality, is only a fancier brand of imagery that clouds our future destruction. On a lesser scale, that … Read more
Today’s America is partially due to a Congress that has yet to be acquainted with accountability. And it’s not a recent ailment since this predates our grandparents. In fact, the only bright spark was during the fifties when sessions of the House Un-American Activities Committee, HUAC, were held. Since then, selected candidates have been of … Read more
The attempts against President Trump’s life and the assassination of Charlie Kirk are measures when the communists feel threatened by the power of an effective enemy. Their usual tactics of personal slander, public discrediting, or ridicule are as ineffective as they were against Trump. Such tactics worked against McCarthy and Goldwater, but neither man had … Read more
America’s present situation has been periodically nurtured with falsehoods such as “America isn’t a Christian nation” – not that it’s been a major influence, but it certainly provided more steam for this anti-American engine. A corrective response is best served from the time when America gained its independence. Few realize that a deep study of … Read more
I’m so old that I can recall how Europeans used to frown over America’s inhibitions regarding sexuality. Sadly, such a critique is no longer voiced. My memory was jolted from a brief review in John Stormer’s 1998 best seller, None Dare Call It Education. Although experienced by those of my age set, Stormer’s concise listing … Read more
Those words capture the sentiment of a cautious Ben Franklin when asked about the type of government that had just been created. His “a Republic if you can keep it” could now be a bit prophetic when considering the empty platitudes and aimless performances of the career politician. Sadly, their re-election results when these attitudes … Read more
With his typical attention to detail, President Trump has opened up a Supreme Court can of worms by questioning the jurisprudence that the Fourteenth Amendment has been responsible for producing for too long. As depicted with this recent rash of nationwide injunctions, it’s apparent that lower courts have joined up with the top court’s current … Read more
What has America gained by veering away from the Father of our Country’s practical non-interventionist course? There’s no doubt that our young nation had enough to establish itself at home rather than becoming involved with Europe’s infamous intrigue. Time mixed with Europe’s inescapable drama has confirmed George Washington’s sound judgment. Now, consider the contrast between … Read more
I swear that what began as a handy reference source has now developed into a curiosity magnet. Its lure has been with the caliber of details, which were previously routine but, in large part, have been absent from the media for way too long. This informational stockpile has also unveiled the media’s “dumbing down” efforts … Read more
Amid this day of remembrance, it saddens this veteran when watching today’s protests, but more aggravating are the “bones of contention.” Unbelievably, this ongoing discord centers upon the very source that grants our freedom to protest, our own beautiful country! During the past century, the cancer of communism has been left alone to percolate within … Read more
There was a hidden lesson within Trump’s “too big to rig” rhetoric, which modern-day talkers and experts will never mention for obvious reasons. Simply stated, it is that unity equals strength and together we can prevail. Trump’s campaign slogan is an offshoot of our forefathers’ belief that freedom will only prevail when the citizenry is … Read more
How the hell can we defeat this communist presence when most Americans don’t even know the form of government that they live under? Over the past fifty years, the bipartisan refrain that America is a democracy has increased in frequency and intensity. Given that truth can never be totally silenced, the more inquisitive among us … Read more
The familiar adage, “the longest journey begins with the first step,” is so true and very applicable to today’s American decline. Particular to my life, I now consider the Supreme Court’s ruling that banned prayer from our nation’s classrooms as being that first step to America’s downward spiral. I suppose that for me, the importance … Read more

As my dear Mother used to say, “Everything happens for a reason,” and so it was with the Tea Party’s well-reasoned formation for prepping the public’s attitude and involvement back towards the caring and protecting of “God’s country.” In retrospect, this seemed to be the old “all dressed up and nowhere to go “refrain. However, … Read more
How is it that everything will be proper when the Supreme Court rules? Theoretically, it should be so, but when questions nudge the public’s curiosity, remaining silent is not the answer to possible judicial abuse or this anarchy. If anything, the past contains a record of the high court renderings which have often differed from … Read more
