History is a funny thing. For some, history liberates, for others, it binds. For some it is an educational tool that informs and guides, preventing the repetition of mistakes and serving as a ladder to the future. For others, it is a prison – an explanation for failure and an excuse for who they have…
It is neither stunning nor brave to fight a war that has already been won, but that is what many “movements” do. They continue to “fight” even when there are no shots being fired, no bombs being dropped and no men in the field but they do this because there is no danger to them…
Trump’s rally in Tulsa is being held about a mile from the Greenwood District. Many only know of the tragic race battle that occurred there in 1921 due to this rally – but I posted about it over a year ago, writing: “There is an interesting history story that is both tragic on an epidemic…
People ask me why I keep posting and writing. I do it to annoy you. Just kidding. I look at it like this – let’s say I have a young child at home and he goes next door to play with his best friend and classmate. Let’s say that unbeknownst to me, my neighbors are…
Look, I have been pretty gloom and doom/Debbie Downer about pretty much everything 2020 so far. It’s not so much that disaster is around the doorstep, because it is always around the doorstep, it has been because all of this seems all so…well so…unnecessary. We began the year with a bogus impeachment followed by the…
If masses of people raised their hands, knelt and professed their love and loyalty to Jesus in public, the left would call them religious nuts and ban them from public spaces. In essence, people of faith have been banned from gathering in public under the guise of “public health”. Can you imagine the hue and…
Over the past week as I watched G.K. Chesterton’s parable of the fence play out in real time, I began to consider what it is that made Western Civilization, in general, and America, in specific, so special in the annals of civilizations. I first thought it might have been Christianity but there were times when…
The Wall Street Journal has published brilliant editorial pieces in the past – to specifically focus in on two of them is saying something. Back in March of 2017, Shelby Steel wrote one titled “The Exhaustion of American Liberalism” and then last week on June 3rd, Daniel Henninger penned one of his best titled “America’s…
Out here in the Land of Significant Pallor (Utah), we have a controversy regarding the brilliant, young Defensive Coordinator of the University of Utah football Utes. Apparently, 13 years ago, Morgan Scalley (who was also a standout safety for the great teams of 2004 that went undefeated, won the Fiesta Bowl and finished 4th in…
A while back, I had the idea to write a novel featuring: A country on the edge of revolution due to constant propaganda and agitprop spewed forth by an agenda driven media (modeled after CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo) Various radical groups opposed to every single aspect of American freedoms, claiming the nations was founded on…
“As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man There are only four things certain since Social Progress began. That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire, And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire; And that after this is…
The Salem Witch Trials represented the peak of witch hunting hysteria in America but in fact, they were at the end of a centuries long, church sponsored war to destroy alleged witches and witchcraft all across Europe. Lampooned in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the real tests to determine if someone was a witch…
Doug Adler. Does anyone reading this remember this guy or anything about him? Probably not – if you do, you are either a big tennis fan or you have an affinity for the collection of arcane information – like me. How my mind made a connection between Doug Adler and James Mattis is a mystery…
The miracle of the Constitution of the United States of America is that, when followed, it allowed a nation to be ideologically and theologically segregated without actually being physically segregated. But the identity politics of the modern progressive movement has changed all of that. There are cities, like St. Louis, where violation of the law…
We have seen several notable white people claim that it is the white people who must change, that whites are the root of all violence and that maybe whites should not even exist. White people are kneeling and apologizing to black “protesters” for their whiteness. Do not apologize for me. Do not implicate me in…
Judge Emmet Sullivan’s required response to the filing of the Writ of Mandamus illustrates the problem with the pandemic, the riots and governance. It’s reason. Or more accurately, the total lack of it. Sullivan’s response was more or less “Don’t worry about law, precedent or whether or not the parties agree there is nothing to…
I’m sorry if this sounds harsh, and no doubt I will be called a racist, but it sure seems to me that the Civil Rights movement’s quest for equality has given way to the martyr complex created by #BlackLivesMatter. Before anyone tells me that I can’t understand because I’m not black – I grew…
“Some men aren’t looking for anything logical. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.” ~ Alfred J. Pennyworth describing the Joker to Bruce Wayne We are told that the various protests/riots/looting events around the country are the result of anger. We’re also told that…
In my opinion, the unequal treatment of churches during this manufactured panic reveals another fundamental truth. Secular humanism leads to autocracy and tyranny. Marxists, secular humanists, and totalitarian statists share a fear of religion. That fear is rooted in the idea that there is a power greater than the state and that power is vested…
“America holds onto an undemocratic assumption from its founding: that some people deserve more power than others.” ~ Jamelle Bouie, The 1619 Project “Jeffries and teachers in upper grades I talked to around the country say they spend the beginning of their presentations on slavery explaining to students that what they learned in elementary school…
