The only cure for a corrupted republic? As the man the founders called “the celebrated Montesquieu” told us: “by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles.” Everything else is doomed to fail. “Every other correction,” he warned, “is either useless or a new evil.” In order to get from where things are today to … Read more
Everything a society does is its construct. Religion, law- it is all conceived and adopted by a group of people and becomes their worldview. Their culture. Their “law.” Don Ewing recently wrote an article in which he reminds readers that Iran has promised to destroy us. By any means, and that includes long-range missiles with … Read more
It was a dark night on April 18, 1775, and the path was lonely and dangerous as Paul Revere mounted his horse in the little town of Lexington outside Boston. He rode through the woods and small hamlets on small roads lit only by the moon to let the good people of Massachusetts, including the … Read more
In these perilous times, the lack of a key founding principle from Washington and Jefferson will prevent America from being great again. President John Quincy Adams tells us why: “America does not go abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion … Read more
A few decades ago, America’s moral compass was more clearly defined. There was no polarizing Yes-No, Black-and-White thinking on every meaningless topic, and the line between right and wrong was much more clearly defined. Most people understood reality and had a modicum of common sense. There certainly was no TDS where the Right saw red, … Read more
As Americans gather to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary, partisan divisions will fade as patriots both red and blue join in celebrating the blessings of the remarkable feats of the nation. The Founding Fathers had doubts that their new political experiment would last so long, but their dream of a thriving Republic has persisted despite … 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
Another happy 4th of July and America 250 to the half of the country who wake up each morning knowing they have won the lottery by being born in the greatest country on the map. And condolences to the rest of the country, who, despite all of the positive metrics, woke up dour, had their … Read more
Much of this article I wrote 5 years ago. It still rings true today. Twenty-five years pass so quickly—two and a half decades since we were attacked and unified at the same moment. No time in my lifetime of over seven decades have I seen a wave of patriotism sweep our nation as it did … Read more
And to think I started out to prove the opposite TL/DR Synopsis: Here’s my premise, and I defy anyone to prove me wrong. Yeah, with facts. Prove me wrong with cold, hard FACTS, not the sniveling feel-good crocodile tears of the leftist establishment. America IS the absolute greatest experiment in human governance in the history … Read more
Proud Americans across the country have already started celebrating America’s 250th birthday. They know that America is not a perfect country, yet they’re bursting with pride in our country’s countless accomplishments.

Today’s America is being brought to us from roughly a century of communist infiltration, organizing, and the indoctrination of those who are our Country’s future. Counter to their former obscurity, their current actions and words have confirmed what many have suspected. To our detriment, the fact is that since the sixties, these commies have amassed … 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
Last night was the kick-off for the 250th birthday celebration of America. Many are watching with great pride as the military bands and singers take the stage, along with the artists who defied the pressure and came to celebrate their patriotism.

I was talking with a friend who is starting up her podcast again, and she will be focusing on Jewish people returning to the homeland, and there are many more than you would think, as well as young Jews returning to their faith. The first scenario, not so much, but the second is a phenomenon … Read more
In the midst of unprecedented national division, Republicans and Democrats have apparently found something upon which they agree: that US moral values are “poor.” A May 1-17 Gallup survey offered a sobering assessment of Americans’ negative views of their country’s moral trajectory. For Better or Worse Gallup reported a 12-percentage-point increase (to 56%) from last … Read more
Why did 20th-century Americans abandon freedom in the first place? There is no question but that the type of society in which, say, late 19th-century Americans lived was totally different from the type of society in which 20th-century Americans lived and in which 21st-century Americans continue to live. Nineteenth-century Americans lived without such things as … Read more
We’re surrounded by redcoats. They might not be part of King George’s military, but their mindset, what they support, and what they’re willing to impose, is everywhere. The founders didn’t just fight an army. They fought a long, bloody war to secede from a system built on a set of views they considered as a … Read more
I am a firm believer in adults taking responsibility for their actions. Too often, you see the excuse for someone’s improprieties as a difficult childhood or growing up in a one-parent household. How about no, regardless of our foundation, we are adults and should know the difference between right and wrong, between moral and immoral. … Read more
Ever since Plymouth Rock, immigrants have routinely sought our shores. This universal recognition of what America has to offer is a testament to what we, the American-born citizens, usually take for granted. Also unmistakable has been the surge in immigrants seeking American refuge following WWII. Frankly speaking, this has been due to the fact that … Read more
