Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
My packing list for the Camino:
Hiking boots. The route we will be taking to Santiago this year is called the Camino Primitivo. It is the oldest route to Santiago. The first pilgrim to hike this particular route hiked it 1,200 years ago, shortly after the birth of Willie Nelson.
As the son of Holocaust survivors, Wolf Blitzer should tell Democrats to knock it off
Do Americans not understand what Donald Trump is doing and has done? The Left certainly doesn’t, but he’s virtually removed Iran, the primary funder of Islamic worldwide terrorism from contention, at the same time diminished the potential for Communist China to continue its aim of achieving world hegemony, and has revealed America’s Western partners (NATO) to be feckless, unworthy allies. Trump has positioned America to become the very center of the world’s energy needs and, in doing so, has destroyed the New World Order’s schemes of doing so. He has realigned trading partnerships by enforcing the Monroe Doctrine, removing both China and Russian influence from our hemisphere. He has redirected the world’s energy needs, and has the Socialist Democrat party frothing at the mouth. Trump did this because nobody else had even thought of trying. This represents a major realignment of the world order.
Elections still happen. Parties still act like it’s a steel-cage match. But on the fundamentals—the wiring of the economy, the growth of the administrative state, the handshake between government and corporate power—the menu is pre-selected. You’re not choosing dinner; you’re choosing the garnish. The work of Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page (2014) didn’t need conspiracy theories to make the point: policy outcomes tend to track the preferences of economic elites far more than average voters. Translation: your vote counts; your leverage doesn’t.
America is betwixt and between more things than you can shake a stick at. The conflict with Iran is on the front burner. Every election cycle at every level is another contest worth winning. Every institution – Government, Business, Education, Media, Arts and Entertainment, Religion, and Family is caught in the crossfire of a No Mans Lands in the Great U.S. Culture War. That’s the struggle against Cultural Marxism and it’s new, best ally – Islamist Totalitarianism.
Democrats rely on “racism” like a crack addict needing a fix. The SPLC is just one source of perceived prejudice.
In recent years, the United States has witnessed growing erosion of capitalism and the fundamental liberties enshrined in the nation’s founding principles.
Feminism has been a curse on the American body politic since it merged with Marxist critical theory concepts in the 1960s, long after the woman’s suffrage movement led the passage of the 19th Amendment (women’s right to vote). It has been in the vanguard of the leftwing cultural revolution that has divided America – and men and women – for six decades while destroying the hopes and dreams of two generations of young women who absorbed the radical ideology at the cost of human happiness and fulfillment.
Homewood, Alabama. When you walk into Salem’s Diner, it’s the people you notice first.
There are no “God Given Rights” explicitly laid out in the Bible. The concept of a human rights began in 1215 under the Magna Carta. Rights come from the Government, but God issues principals and values. Not rights. Rights: Rights are inherent to individuals by virtue of their humanity. They are typically regarded as fundamental, …
My good friend Daniel Pearson — OK, OK, I’ve never actually met him, but even though he’s mostly liberal, he’s a common sense and decent kind of guy, the kind of guy you’d be happy with whom to sit down and drink a cup of Wawa coffee — an editorial writer and columnist with The …
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas delivered an insightful and important speech at the University of Texas recently that I wish every American could have heard.
Today, we Americans are marching to a new ‘Path to Glory” for our country much as our founders and ancestors had to do. Today, we must continue to be Americans First citizens and rise above partisan politics and political parties. We must face the future solving our problems and plans looking through a reality prism not a political one and seek to restore this great country, our Republic and the Constitution. The goal ahead is to select common-sense leaders who understand our challenges and have the vision to lead us to a secure America so all can be in the pursuit of happiness and a thankful life.
The now-famous line popularized by G. Michael Hopf—“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times”—isn’t just internet wisdom wrapped in a motivational poster. It’s a stripped-down field manual for understanding why civilizations rise, peak, wobble, and then fall flat on their face.
Let us dive a bit deeper into Aristotle’s view of politics and how it differed from his teacher Plato. Previously we saw how Aristotle disagreed with his teacher Plato that only a philosopher king could properly rule. Aristotle believed that humans were inherently flawed and that reality required just laws to be supreme in order to …
I have a confession to make. I am addicted to my cellphone. I’m not proud of it. I don’t like admitting it. But I’m coming clean, publicly.
Several months ago, I sent a note to Caroline Hendrie, Executive Director of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), the 117-year-old organization that focuses on journalism ethics, defending the First Amendment, and providing professional development for both legacy and independent journalists. I have been a member of SPJ for more than 50 years, since I …
Aristotle believed that the guiding principle of a constitution should be “justice”. He would have defined that word as meaning the common good and the “happiness” of the community at large.
There’s a comfortable lie Americans like to tell themselves: that we are too smart, too informed, too free to be manipulated at scale. That propaganda is something that happens in other countries, to other people, under other flags. Then you dig up a grainy black-and-white relic like Reefer Madness and realize—no, we ran one of the most effective information operations in modern history… on ourselves.
