George Patton’s Secret Weapon Wasn’t a Tank—It Was Faith

by

Before the skies cleared over the Battle of the Bulge, General George S. Patton didn’t call for another committee meeting—he called for a chaplain. While modern America places its faith in technology, data, and bureaucracy, Patton believed victory required something more. He prepared relentlessly, commanded fearlessly, and then bowed his head in prayer. Days later, the weather broke, Allied aircraft filled the skies, and Patton pinned a Bronze Star on the chaplain who had written the famous weather prayer. Whether you call it coincidence or providence, one of America’s greatest generals never apologized for believing that faith belonged on the battlefield alongside tanks, artillery, and courage.

Why I Stopped Writing And Started Listening

by

I’m sure some of you have noticed I haven’t been writing as much as I used to. I get lots of emails asking why this is. Many of these emails are ultra-friendly emails, beginning with the words, “WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!!?”

To answer this, I need to start by telling you about our trip to Spain.

Mine!

by

I can’t really say I was surprised. Rather, it was one of those, “what will they think of next” moments. Recently, the news came that “Road Rage” is not really anyone’s fault. Instead, like most of the character flaws we don’t want to take the responsibility for, it’s now become a medical problem, something beyond our control.

Amazing Grace

by

Morning. I am driving two-lane highways in the backcountry of Missouri. I have been sharing the highway with mostly rusty pickups and Massey Ferguson farm implements. Also deer.

Missouri. The place where the western prairie meets the southern cotton patches. It’s a foreign land to me.

You’d never know I was born in Missouri. You’d never guess my father died in Missouri.

Good, Meet Evil

by

The culmination of the Left’s gender bending, death cult brainwashing was evident in last week’s assassination of Charlie  Kirk, whose only “crime” was speaking freely about his Faith, Family and Country, and his only weapon, a microphone. 

Isaiah for Uncertain Times

by

The headlines can feel relentless. Conflict in the Middle East seems unending. We live in a post-9/11 world where threats feel constant, truth is debated, and morality often seems negotiable. Wars rage, leaders posture, and it doesn’t take much scrolling through the news to wonder if everything is coming apart. Perhaps that is why this …

Ancient Aliens, Watchers, and the Flood: Separating Truth from Speculation

by

History is full of mysteries—but mystery is not evidence. From ancient aliens to Atlantis, from the Watchers of Enoch to the archaeological puzzles of the pyramids, competing theories attempt to explain humanity’s distant past. Some are grounded in evidence, others in speculation. This article compares the major worldviews, examines where they overlap and where they diverge, and asks the most important question of all: Are we following the evidence, or simply the story we want to believe?

Forty Years of “P*** Christ:” The Shock That Changed America—But Not the Artist

by

Although “Piss Christ” never reached the Supreme Court, the controversy helped lead to the 1998 case National Endowment for the Arts v. Finley. The Court ruled that while artists have broad First Amendment rights to create controversial work, they do not have a constitutional right to taxpayer funding. The lasting debate wasn’t whether Serrano could make the photograph—it was whether the public should have to help pay for it.
