Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
With bigotry & hatred dripping from his fingertips, NYC’s first Islamist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, yet again blathered about “unity” while doing his best to divide, while trying to blame illusionary “white supremacy” for the ISIS-inspired IEDs thrown at police by two Muslim terrorists.
At the heart of this crisis lies the disintegration of the family. In God’s grand design, the family has been the primary institution for teaching right from wrong, instilling discipline, and modeling love and respect.
It’s Palm Sunday, or Passion Sunday, a day of celebration! But why do we celebrate the soon-to-take-place Crucifixion of our Lord?
Christian nationalism is a term that has garnered attention in recent years, often used to describe a perceived blending of Christianity and nationalist beliefs. However, it is crucial to understand that Christian nationalism is not an ideology that any Christian self-proclaims to be a member of. Instead, it is a term that has been fabricated by those who oppose Christianity, intending to isolate, polarize, and ostracize believers.
It has been said that Catholic converts are among the most zealous of all. And so it is with Carrie Prejean Boller, or, as I prefer to call her, Carrie Prejean Hez-Boller, because she has been extremely vocal in her support of the ‘Palestinians’ and their war against Israel. On March 23, she tweeted: Israel …

In a world filled with moral confusion and noise, the book of Isaiah reminds us that God is still speaking—and our greatest need is to listen.
For centuries, people have sensed that something is wrong with the world—that there are unseen forces pulling the strings behind governments, religions, wars, and ideologies.
For most of history, lies moved slowly. A king issued a proclamation. A priest told a story. A rumor drifted across a village. Today, narratives move at the speed of fiber optics, algorithmically amplified and psychologically engineered. What once required an empire now requires a social media campaign.
When my church announced that our next Bible study would be based on “Unoffendable” by Brant Hansen, I’ll admit it — I was irritated (slightly offended). The title alone sounded like something designed to sand the edges off men. “Unoffendable” feels like the spiritual equivalent of bubble wrap. And if you’ve spent decades in uniform, leading soldiers, planning operations, and living inside a culture where decisiveness matters and hesitation kills, your instinct is to bristle.
Lent is a forty-day wilderness season that echoes the many forty-day periods in Scripture—especially Jesus’ time in the desert—reminding us that fasting and self-denial are not punishment but God’s way of strengthening us and drawing us closer to Him.
The Camino is out there. Still existing. On the other side of the world. I wake up each morning, stumble into my kitchen to make coffee, and I think about how right now, it’s still there.
I probably shouldn’t have been, but I was recently surprised to learn that 40% of professing Christians today say they believe in God but do not believe in Satan or his demons.
We are here because…choose your own reason. I believe there is a power, presence, province – a god – that has created the universe and that we, humans on planet earth, are merely an infinitesimally small part thereof and we are here for only an equally tiny span of time.
When Missler said we may be living in something like a simulation, he meant that physical reality functions like a user interface. We experience the front end. The underlying code — the laws, constants, and constraints — operate beneath our direct perception. Just as you don’t see the binary code behind your screen but interact with its output, we interact with a physical world governed by informational architecture we didn’t write.
There is a quiet anxiety baked into much of modern American Christianity: if you don’t support Israel—always, loudly, and without qualification—God might notice. Entire churches treat Israeli foreign policy as a third sacrament. Question a settlement policy or a military response and someone will reach for Genesis 12 like it’s a theological panic button. This fear wears the costume of faith, but it isn’t biblical. It’s superstition with a study Bible.
Let’s dispense with the polite fiction. The United States has 50 states on paper and one premium subscription state overseas that gets all the benefits with none of the awkward obligations like paying federal taxes or pretending to listen to Washington. Welcome to Israel, America’s unofficial 51st state — the only one close enough to lecture Congress but far enough away that we pretend it’s “just an ally.”
In 2024, the world tuned in to Paris and was treated to a lavish, high-budget revival of pagan imagery—complete with nods to Dionysus, the ancient god of intoxication, ecstasy, and losing yourself so completely that personal responsibility becomes someone else’s problem. It was art, we were told. It was symbolism. It was “inclusive.” It was definitely not accidental. And it certainly wasn’t Christian.
There’s stolen valor — the guy at the bar wearing medals he never earned, hoping nobody asks what unit he was in. Then there’s stolen charity — the polished executive in a tailored suit wearing patriotism like a lapel pin while cashing checks “for the troops.” One lies about serving. The other lies about serving those who served. Both are frauds. Only one gets invited to donor banquets.
My Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — feed on Monday had been filled with complaints because His Holiness Pope Leo XIV held Mass yesterday at a diocesan church in Rome with, Heaven forfend! altar girls as well as altar boys. Some of the complaints were trivial, that the altar server on the …
