Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.

When President Reagan was negotiating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with the Soviet Union, he repeatedly said his rule was “Trust but verify.” Those simple three words summarize a truism about human nature. Trust is only possible in an environment of transparency and accountability. It cannot exist when the party demanding trust, is also hiding the truth.
Now that all the left’s principled arguments for abortion have fallen apart, Chelsea Clinton has come to the rescue with an economic argument.
The angel Gabriel appears four times in the Bible. Each time, as an emissary delivering a message from God. Is God’s messenger visiting us again – this time in the body of a frail newborn baby, confronting us with truths we’ve been avoiding?
In this third decade of the 21st century, the takeover of the Democrat party by the Democratic Socialists of America is giving us a clear choice. We will cast our ballot knowing that we are choosing either the messiness of individual liberty, or the servitude of collectivism.
Robert Reich published an article to gripe about fascism, while arguing for fascism, while seeming to think his logic is sound.
An open letter to James “The Ragin Cajun” Carville — the man who coarsened politics more than any other human in my lifetime.
The size of our government should concern us because freedom wanes as government grows. As our government grows, the thing that makes America exceptional shrinks – our individual freedom to manage our affairs.
Why is the conservative media talking about old Joe being a “taco short of a combination plate,” as if it’s a bad thing?
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) has ripped the scab off of the festering wound we call the Senate filibuster. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote, is favored by over 80 percent of the electorate – at least of those voters who can legally vote. Its passage should be a no-brainer. But apparently the Senate lacks the brains for a no-brainer.
The world is filled with thugs – big and small. Whether they were created by nature or nurture is immaterial. They’ve been a fact of nature since Adam and Eve’s first born, murdered his little brother. Thinking we can prevent their existence with compassion and participation trophies is dangerously naïve.
In a just country, those in criminal justice who violate their oath would be punished more harshly than petty criminals. Apparently, America can no longer claim to be a just county.
There are a couple of recent articles, describing the debate underway in two states: Texas and Idaho. Both articles sound very similar in ideology, referencing the 10th Amendment, and arguing for states’ rights. But the actions of the two states couldn’t be more different.
About a year ago, my wife and I watched Netflix’s A House of Dynamite, and found it mildly entertaining. We watched it again last week and found it disturbingly chilling.
Greek mythology says that hubris (excessive pride) inevitably meets Nemesis (the goddess of retribution). When a man’s ambition exceeds his ability, calamity ensues. Well the Grand Poohbah of unjustified pride has to be Joseph Robinette Biden – who suffers the curse of concurrent arrogance and stupidity.
I wonder if Graham Platner (DSA-Maine) is a Madonna fan. I only ask because he seems like a real material boy; someone with a lust for life’s finer things – especially those that belong to other people.
Near the end of Joe Biden’s incompetence, corruption, and dementia extravaganza, thousands of pardons were issued – many for unstated crimes. Most weren’t done with a pen in a human hand, as our founders intended. They were done with an autopen – a machine that can emulate a human signature.
As silly as James Comey’s sea shell picture was, it was an implied threat against a President – which is against the law. That it was done in conjunction with other offenses gives it a special significance – a recent act of an ongoing conspiracy.
I didn’t receive either of my two best Father’s Day gifts on Father’s Day. I got the first one on May 26, 1985 when my son was born. The second was the new daughter I received on January 19, 2024.
The anti-2nd Amendment left insists that all assault weapons be banned from private use. Their logic is that as instruments of war, their only valid use is in the hands of government employees to surrender to Afghan savages, or suppress civil resistance (per Joe Biden). Of course they’ll make an exception for Karmelo Anthony.
In Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, John Galt repeatedly says “A” is “A.” It is his simple way of saying reality is factual – it is not subject to interpretation, context, or lived experience. Facts and the laws of nature are inviolate, and they are beginning to intrude on the propaganda of the left.
