Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
If today’s Congressional Democrats were around on Dec. 7, 1941, I wonder if they would have voted against declaring war on Imperial Japan—the nation that attacked the American Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, killing 2,403 Americans.
Bosnia’s collapse wasn’t ancient history. It wasn’t a medieval tribal feud. It wasn’t inevitable. It was a functional, modern, educated society that disintegrated in less than two years — not because of poverty, not because of famine, not because of foreign invasion — but because its political factions became so polarized that neighbors stopped seeing each other as citizens and started seeing each other as enemies.
Scripture teaches something modern diplomacy avoids: nations are not equal in strength, discipline, or character. Some restrain evil; others unleash it.
Every December, the same myth rises from the grave like a bad History Channel rerun: the idea that the U.S. government had advance knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor and let it happen
Ever since Michigan became a state in 1837, there’s been a quiet tug-of-war between the rugged north and the political south. The Upper Peninsula didn’t even want to be part of Michigan in the first place — it was handed to Lansing as part of the Toledo War settlement.
As a predominantly Christian nation, we welcomed everyone through legal immigration. We expected everyone to share the same values—freedom, self-reliance, capitalism, and the willingness to learn and speak English.
Bad ass Don Pedro Menéndez de Avilés arrives in Florida for Thanksgiving in 1565. One of my ancestors landed at Plymouth Rock. He signed the Mayflower Compact. When I commemorate their first thanksgiving in 1621, some Virginian says, oh, it wasn’t the first because there was one in Jamestown, Virginia, 14 years earlier. But neither …
On October 3, 1789, President George Washington issued a proclamation declaring Thursday, November 26 of that year as a national day of Thanksgiving and prayer.
“It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors.” ~ President George Washington
the real Thanksgiving — the one we refuse to talk about — looked nothing like a Hallmark card. It was less a celebration of abundance and more a collective sigh of relief that they weren’t dead yet.
Our perspective is quite different from the PC, CRT, uber-revisionist view of the Ken Burns PBS series re-imagining the American Revolution. In Part 1 we got the Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) on what was the American Revolution. Which led to the Biblical Worldview of the American Revolution. That’s a big deal, because it frames …
The real danger isn’t Christians defending their families or forming lawful militias. The danger is people confusing holy war rhetoric with biblical responsibility and constitutional order.
I used to think I was just a regular guy, going about my life, as President Lincoln once said: “with malice toward none and charity for all.” Boy, was I wrong.
In 1787, our founders wrote something radical into the Constitution: every official—civilian, military, executive, judicial—would swear allegiance not to a man, but to an idea. Article VI makes it clear: the oath is to the Constitution. Period.
In 1775 after a revolutionary season of 12 years, one third of the Enlightenment Era, Dissident Protestant British people across four regional cultures (in 13 separate Colonies) took up arms to keep the Rights their ancestors won in the previous century.
There are women out there qualified for high office. But being a woman is not a qualification in and of itself.
The idea of a solid, industrial-grade, perfectly rectangular block of sleep is about as old as the lightbulb—and about as natural as chicken nuggets.
America has the attention span of a goldfish on an energy drink. If a war isn’t trending, isn’t hashtagged, or doesn’t have a Marvel movie tie-in, it simply evaporates from public memory. And so we forgot Bosnia.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor…
Awakening is the act of beginning to understand something —usually something significant —that leads to a new and better understanding of events. In 1776, Americans awoke to the fact that to stay free and prosper, they must separate their fortunes from England.
