Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
It is now a half century since Governor Jimmy Carter took the Democratic primaries by storm in the spring of 1976, winning the Democratic presidential nomination away from much smarter, much more talented candidates
There’s a comforting little bedtime story we tell ourselves about Antarctica. Nobody owns it. Nobody fights over it. Scientists in parkas share data and hot cocoa while penguins waddle around like tiny tuxedo diplomats. It’s the one place on Earth where humanity supposedly agreed to stop acting like humanity.
The National Security Strategy tells you what’s coming, what matters, and—most importantly—what’s about to get funded. Not because the NSS is magical. Because in Washington, priorities aren’t real until money gets thrown at them like confetti at a parade.
Doomsday, the end of life as we know it, was set at 7-minutes before midnight by a few scientists in 1947. Originally, these experts were only concerned with nuclear mutual-assured-destruction. Now, the dire prediction includes consequences of climate change, disruptive technologies and biological perils.
Jimmy “created” the Islamic Terrorist Nation of Iran. Barry secretly flew to Iran $1,7 Billion in cash of Americans’ money. Joe gave Islamist terrorists $81 Billion in military equipment on August 31. 2021 and later gave them $6 Billion in previously restricted funds.
One day, perhaps 50 years from now, historians will look back on the years between 2020 and 2025 and conclude that America was a nation that chose to abandon common sense and reality
Words matter. UFO became UAP. Sightings became sensor data. Rumors became congressional hearings. And then came the most carefully engineered phrase yet: “non-human biologics.” That term didn’t exist to inform you—it exists to prepare you. It introduces a category without evidence, certainty without clarity, and authority without accountability. It tells your brain, “Accept the possibility first; we’ll define it later.” That’s not science. That’s narrative conditioning.
One of the quiet tragedies of church history is not that Christians rejected the Bible, but that—at a critical moment—they reinterpreted it to survive cultural pressure. Instead of allowing Scripture to challenge the assumptions of the age, parts of the Church chose to soften the Bible’s worldview so it would sound reasonable to the world it was trying to convert. Over time, that accommodation didn’t just adjust emphasis; it changed how entire passages were understood.
Not since slave-loving Democrats provoked the succession of Southern states from the Union have Democrats demonstrated such hatred for America, but that is exactly what is happening today in Minnesota and Minneapolis.
Before the World Was Soft Civilization did not create the warrior brain. Civilization survived because of it. Long before laws, courts, or polite abstractions about peace, human beings existed in a world where violence was not exceptional—it was routine. Hunger, predators, rival tribes, and scarcity were constant pressures. The human nervous system evolved not to be calm, but to be ready.
Historians, political scientists, and philosophers alike often look at revolutions and ask the question “Was it a simple coup d’etat, or a real popular revolution? And if a real popular revolution, just how ‘popular’ was it, really?”
Were he alive today, there is little doubt that Minnesota Fats would be amazed and perhaps a bit envious of the $9 billion hustle currently in progress in his namesake, Minnesota—especially given the fact that the mainstream media seems content to ignore it entirely.
John Adams didn’t write the Constitution like a motivational poster. He wrote it like an engineer handing over a machine with a warning label: this will fail if misused. When he said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other,” he wasn’t sermonizing. He was stating a design limitation.
Epiphany celebrates Christ’s revelation to all people through the worship of the magi, reminding us that Jesus is revealed beyond tradition and history and still calls us today to seek Him, recognize His presence, and be transformed by worship.
Hunters were promised respect. We were promised constitutional protection. Instead, we got a regulatory maze where normal behavior is criminalized, enforcement is arbitrary, and tradition is treated as a threat. The same system that sells hunting licenses now treats hunters like suspects. The same agency that depends on hunter dollars increasingly acts as if it knows better than the people who live on and manage the land year-round.
Historically, America understood this. Immigration was not just about crossing an ocean. It was about assimilation. Italians, Irish, Poles, Germans—none arrived culturally identical to Anglo-Protestant America. But the expectation was clear: you adopt the civic moral framework of the country you’re entering. Loyalty to tribe yields to loyalty to law. Institutions outrank kin networks. No exceptions, no special carve-outs.
In school, Baby Boomers learned to love America — the ideal of it — Freedom, Independence, Self-governance — the individual over the collective. “The sky’s the limit.” We learned independence & liberty were why people around the world wanted to be Americans. We saw the benefits of hard work, honesty, & charity.
During a discussion in a journalism class I was teaching at the University of Illinois a few years ago, I posited the following question: What do you think has been the greatest, most impactful invention in the world during the past 1,000 years?
A father was arrested and charged after someone took offense at a tattoo on his leg—passive, nonviolent body art. Let me be clear: the ideology behind that tattoo is evil, historically murderous, and morally bankrupt. I despise it. But the man was not arrested for assault, intimidation, threats, or incitement. He was arrested for expression. That distinction is everything in a free society.
As a great year closes out, the last week brings some really strange views from our liberal friends.
