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
This week is the fifth anniversary of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the span of approximately nine minutes, George Floyd died, Officer Derek Chauvin’s life was ruined forever, a national hero for the Left was born, and the city of Minneapolis was forever changed.

A nation divided against itself cannot stand,” said Abraham Lincoln. Sadly, I think that’s precisely the point. I recently flew with my friend Bill Maher to DC, where he was to have dinner with the Bad Orange Man. I was not attending the dinner, I was just along for the ride…but I was wholeheartedly in … Read more
Ponder the journey of evil that a newly conceived fetus must face to arrive alive in the world. Agents of death have been given the license to murder human beings created in the image of God. Enemies of God oppose life on earth, even subsidizing murder, to end life before birth with tax dollars. Will … Read more
My family of numerous lineages have been farmers here in Vermont. My father’s mother grew up and worked hard on a dairy farm in Sheldon Falls. My mother grew up on the farm near where I now live — the Stoddard farm, which is one of the founding family farms here in Brookfield. My Mom’s … Read more
