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
In the 1960s, after just 15 years of America’s retreat from victory, surrendering to the United Nations control of our military, the John Birch Society saw the fast-approaching danger to American liberty, for they knew that United States membership in the UN was national suicide. Boldly, with their educational army only several years old, they … Read more
Little babies in the womb since 1974 have been a major “enemy of the state.” Since “Post-Roe,” however, the state is permitting a new instrument of death to silently poison babies in the womb. The American Family Association (AFA) calls it “mail-order death.” Just mail in for the pills. Apparently, this is the abortion industry’s answer … Read more
On November 17th, the UN Security Council endorsed the Trump Peace plan for Gaza. Past Trump rhetoric, called the UN’s central strategy of control – climate change, “a great con job.” His past policy moves against globalism could be summed up as: “Trusting the UN is like ‘trusting a fox in the chicken house.’” Restoring … Read more
Alexis de Tocqueville, in his 1830s book “Democracy in America,” assessed why America was so prosperous. His words speak loud and clear: “Every citizen is taught … the history of his Country, and the leading features of its Constitution … It is extremely rare to find a man imperfectly acquainted with all these things, and … Read more
Let us not fail to see the truth hiding behind Trump euphoria. God blessed humankind with Inherent, unalienable rights, including the right to control one’s health. Preceding the Declaration of Independence’s challenge to a despotic world, a decade later, it was reinforced with teeth essential to liberty: the Bill of Rights. Congress shall make no Law … Read more
CARING CORRUPTED: THE KILLING NURSES OF THE THIRTIES from Nazi Germany enlightened my narrative of the COVID death march. This video, responding to my headlined OP-ED COVID CARNAGE, dated October 26, 2025, stirred deep thought about human nature’s desire to seek the most gain at the cost of the least amount of pain. Hitler’s master … Read more
“At 84, if you don’t take the vaccine, you’re dead.” This advice from my doctor, checking me for COVID in 2020, increased my distrust. The doctor wasn’t on my side, but on the side of power hijacking the medical establishment. History doesn’t repeat, but human nature remains the same. Doctors being agents for the state … Read more
Among several comments responding to my October 7th OP-ED called the HIGH PRICE OF TYRANNY, were the words: “There is no $37 trillion debt. When you understand the Federal Reserve, then you might understand those words. Until you learn that, you should be quiet.” At my age, I like to learn, but have no intention … Read more
I still treasure wisdom from an old-time gospel song planted in my mind as a child: What is a mother’s love, dear friend, what is a mother’s love? It’s deeper than the deep blue sea and reaches from heaven above.” Many years ago, my life was powerfully impacted by the eternal truth that “the hand … Read more
The enemies of the U.S. Constitution label its nature to be living and breathing. However, political Marxism is opposed to the Founders’ original intent. To magnify the distance American politicians have traveled from the original intent of the Constitution, here I quote words from Frederic Bastiat, a French legislator of the 1840s, mentioned in Ezra … Read more
Will the Memorial Service for Charlie Kirk, bringing together almost 100,000 patriots and millions worldwide mourning his assassination, be a turning point in history? Erika Kirk’s words before the world, “I forgive him for he knows not what he’s done,” surely was the power of the Holy Spirit flowing through her to carry out the … Read more
Below is an invitation to view the eternal wisdom of our Founding Fathers, the reason for American Exceptionalism that has blessed our nation with more freedom than all other people who have walked the face of the earth. As we as a nation have moved further and further away from these founding principles, the closer … Read more
