Renee Good didn’t wander past Capitol Police Officer, holding the door for her, to stroll through the Rotunda and grab a few selfies on January 6th, 2021. Her “protest” was not to demand an investigation into election irregularities in places like Georgia, which, as it turns out, were very irregular. No, she put herself in … Read more
One of the “legacies” of works like Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States is its treatment of Native Americans. People like Zinn accuse explorers and colonists of racial hatred and hostility, resulting in horrific massacres of Native Americans. He portrayed Native American societies as peaceful and environmentally conscious. This has become the mainstream perspective. … Read more
Some people hate Cloudflare. Our hosting company uses it, and for the most part, it is transparent, working quickly in the background to do what it does. We also have firewalls at multiple levels to protect the digital assets. GraniteGrok “experiences something like seven million attacks a day or more. Some days you can double … Read more
A Great Awakening from the Great Wokeness The 60s free-love revolution proclaimed love and peace as primary values, and especially embraced freedom from social and economic constraints. Epitomized by Timothy Leary’s call to “Turn on, tune in, drop out,” the movement’s essence was countercultural. Six decades later, the pendulum is swinging back. In the 1960s, … Read more
There are very few situations in which being fat is anything other than a problem with impulse control. Combined with decades of bad food science pushed by the government and the reality that the cheap food, like cheap everything else, is at the bottom of every quality pyramid, getting and staying fat is easy. Losing … Read more
The American Left has adopted the philosophy that “words are violence,” and as such, it must be responded to with not words – but physical violence. Understand what I’m saying. To the left, anyone saying something that offends, discredits or challenges their world view or established narrative, is in itself, an act of violence, therefore, … Read more
Watching other people’s cultures degenerate at the hands of their own government is increasingly less amusing when you know that they want to ruin yours as well. Global elites have a plan, and it involves fewer white folks, and if you thought it was getting weird, this takes it to a whole new level. According … Read more
In these days of political polarization, I’m hearing a lot of complaints about “whataboutism,” the phenomenon of answering a question about the actions of one person or group with an example of something similar done by someone else. Trump mishandled classified documents! What about Hillary Clinton, for example? But yeah… what about Hillary Clinton? Were … Read more
Other than making sure women can kill their unborn babies, and even that has gone a bit by the wayside, nothing Democrats promise ever comes to pass. The more they speak of equality and justice, the less there is of both. Prosperity, Democracy, and civility are bait on a hook that once taken finds you … 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
Free speech needs protecting, but we have to accept that it is not absolute. It is also critical to grasp, as a reminder, that private entities are not bound by it. Actual defamation is not protected, nor is demonstrable incitement to violence. This last bit is crucial as regards the celebratory social updates, as well … Read more
For a country to survive, it must have a growing population. This growth can be achieved naturally through procreation, which helps maintain the country’s culture, or through mass immigration, which will dynamically change the culture in short order. We lose about 3 million Americans per year to death, and those who leave the country, and … Read more
College for me was the late 60’s. I never wore blue jeans! All my friends wondered why.I had no money to purchase a pair, and my parents hated them. Today, I have one pair in myclothes closet. I rarely bother to wear them, but what a hoot, all the fuss about SydneySweeney. My Mom and … Read more
The lack of strong Fathers in Godly-ordained families weakens families, which are the backbone of our American Republic. Some dads need to be both mother and father. Such was the case with my dad. Growing up the youngest of three boys, my Dad was my hero. Son of a ship carpenter on the Ohio River, … 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
Not so many years ago, it was a natural progression to graduate from high school, enter the military or college, get married, buy a house, have children, and roll the dice that all worked out. You had a rewarding life, with a comfortable retirement. It was all part of the American Dream that was still … Read more
America is more divided today than at any time since the Civil War. Some think we came together after the deadliest battle ever fought by Americans, and some say the scars have never healed from the 1860s. We had our challenges again during the Civil Rights era of the 1960s, but nothing like we have … Read more
In the comments on a recent post, someone expressed the commonly held (and much-applauded) attitude that, It’s the kids in the classrooms that matter here.. It’s about the life of the child and the parents that are trying to give this child a good life with opportunity — this is the goal here. But this … Read more
A May 2025 report titled “Divorce, Family Arrangements, and Children’s Adult Outcomes” concluded that children aged five or younger suffer more severe and long-lasting impacts when their parents divorce than older siblings. It is axiomatic that nurturing families rear healthy children, and that stepfamilies fare more poorly than those headed by biological parents. The new … Read more
Elon Musk was a “Nazi” just six months ago. That’s according to Democrats, who slammed the South African billionaire for performing a “Heil Hitler salute” following President Donald Trump’s inauguration. he Musk-Trump blowout has them singing a different tune. For a quick run-down: Musk tore into Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” for increasing the national deficit, calling it “debt slavery for the … Read more
