America is committing national suicide. Only an inside job could overcome the Founders’ placing the power in the people’s hands, per Article I of the Constitution. This power has been usurped by the Executive and Judicial branches. Even the eternal promise of the Bill of Rights, listing God-given, inherent rights to lock the door on … Read more
Let us pay homage to the fifty-six delegates who signed the Declaration of Independence. Men who were signing their death warrant in the eyes of the British Crown. They challenged tyranny for posterity. Emerson’s words remind me today that “[e]very mind must make its choice between truth and repose; it cannot have both.” Before Almighty … Read more
In the world of sports, we have the Super Bowl, the World Series, the Stanley Cup, and the World Cup. In the contest for liberty v. slavery, the war of words is fought with no referee, while truth too often surrenders to the volume of slanderous lies. Documenters of facts exposing the nefarious activities of … Read more
I’ve had the privilege of being friends with several WWII veterans. I’ve asked their opinion of General George S. Patton. The answers covered the full spectrum from extreme hatred to “we would storm the gates of hell for General Patton.” Military discipline makes men. Men’s warrior spirit of “kill or be killed” must be achieved regardless … Read more
On January 7, President Trump issued a memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies ordering them to withdraw from using public funds that support international organizations with interests contrary to the U.S. ( 31 UN entities). This appears to be a great birthday gift for America’s 250th anniversary; a serious effort to put … Read more
As we approach the 250th celebration of our nation’s birth, it is important to ponder the late President Emeritus of The John Birch Society’s brilliant appraisal of why Americans have been blessed with unparalleled liberty. John F. McManus said, “America has become great not because of what the government did for us; America has become … Read more
Many of us cheer evil trends of our day, the rhetoric of politicians cheaply espousing words such as “the rule of law”. Their words describe the essence of liberty without morality to back them up. Today’s politicians are effective because we, the people, are filled with cultural perversion. We know not what true law is because it … Read more
This 4th of July, 250 years of unparalleled liberty, does not make us immune to the historical trend that truth struggles for light while evil intent and deception continue. There is a century-old shadow of Nazi Germany that has changed our culture. The gay pride flag flies while most folks are oblivious to its sordid … Read more
The never-give-up spirit of 76 was displayed in the Final 4 basketball tournament win by UConn over Duke with 0.4 seconds on the clock. Is this same spirit alive in other areas of American life? When we sing “the land of the free and the home of the brave,” do you believe we are still … Read more
Scriptures tell us: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the holy one is understanding.” The Lord gave us free will. To gain understanding, He gave us the Ten Commandments, a divine blueprint we could freely choose to follow so that our nature would reflect His. Rebellion against God … Read more
The lust for world government goes all the way back to the Tower of Babel. It’s the unquenchable thirst of men wanting to play god. The power move under which we now live was born in the mind of Edward Mandel House. House dominated the Wilson Administration and had overwhelming success in FDR’s New Deal; … Read more
Will our school children cause a communist takeover of our nation? As in the 1930s, today this question would probably be ridiculed. What makes Americans so vulnerable in this hate-filled climate? Revolution starts in the mind. Consider Minnesota, which was once the rural Christian home of Little House on the Prairie, an example of rugged … Read more
The shellacking the New England Patriots received at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks is analogous to the decisive blows God-fearing patriots have suffered for decades. At the 1971 Super Bowl, Anita Bryant sang “God Bless America” during the halftime show. In 2026, the NFL’s pick of Bad Bunny is considered representative of modern America. … Read more
John Maynard Keynes, British Fabian Socialist and author of Keynesian Economics, quoted Lenin when he proclaimed that his system would be the “euthanasia of capitalism.” He also boasted: “By this means (fractional reserve banking) government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the … Read more
President Trump is the best president of my lifetime, but that doesn’t say much for the rest. My suspicions that all the good headlines hide a lot of potential problems have been growing over the past several months. The predictor of the calamitous 2008-2009 financial crisis, Peter Schiff, was featured on Fox and Friends in … Read more
The prophetic words of German playwright, poet, and philosopher Friedrich Schiller 1759-1805 pinpointed what has gradually happened in American public schools over the past hundred years: “ It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal the mind of a nation), The blame diminishes as the … Read more
Parents, your leaders have paid a high price for failure. The United States spends over $900 billion annually on K-12 education. Funds controlled by the Education Mafia (the “EM”), the creators and the administrators of the psychological poison that indoctrinates our children with the curricula created by UNESCO and the Department of Education, chosen textbooks, … Read more
The landmark case Wickard v. Filburn significantly altered the Federal government’s power. The 1942 SCOTUS ruling essentially declared that what the federal government subsidizes, it shall control. An old story from a great American, Tom Anderson, tells us what Federal Aid really is: “Once upon a time, two hunters went in freezing cold weather deep in … Read more
It is disheartening to look at Alexander Fraser Tytler’s (1722-1783) model depicting the cyclical path from freedom to slavery. And yet, the predominant political wisdom of our day features this same progression. The fallen human nature of man hasn’t changed since Adam took a bite out of the apple; men want to play God while greed … Read more
Truth and virtue are the foundations of liberty. Free people are in peril when they forget the basics that made them free. Ignorance and apathy invite the opposite – lies, fraud, and corruption. People sell their votes while greed and envy feed the nanny state. A political cartoon once said, “I’VE BEEN IN OFFICE 20 … Read more
