Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
In 2036 sons & daughters of the CCP elites will qualify to run for the US House. In 2041 they will qualify to run for the US Senate. In 2046, they will be eligible to run for the US Presidency. THIS is the Trojan Horse 6 justices gave America because they fear the Leftist mob will come after their family members.
What if the ancient Roman Empire—the brutal, iron-fisted superpower that crucified our Lord—never actually died, but is quietly ruling the world today? Welcome back to our small group study! John Barnett here. I want you to imagine we are sitting right across the table from each other at Panera or Starbucks, with our Bibles wide …
There is nothing like living in a dictatorship to appreciate the significance of our precious Bill of Rights. This photo of yours truly was taken in 1973 when, along with the protection of my American passport, I resided in the Republic of China (Taiwan) while it was under Chiang’s dictatorship.
In its decision to reject President Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship by ruling that he does not have the power to unilaterally overturn the longstanding principle that guarantees citizenship to all children born in the United States, the Supreme Court is sanctioning the nation’s path to self-annihilation.
On July 17, 1980, Ronald Reagan accepted the Republican nomination for president. In his acceptance speech, he said, “For those who have abandoned hope, we’ll restore hope and we’ll welcome them into a great national crusade to make America great again!”
In 1787, delegates to the Constitutional Convention went to Philadelphia to create a stronger national government than what existed under the first national framework of government, the Articles of Confederation. The issue of slavery was not on the agenda, but could not be avoided.
One of the first liberating principles upon which our republic was founded…going back to well before the Declaration of Independence…declared that men could actually govern themselves.
On Saturday, the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary in this Year of the Bicentennial+50. The Continental Congress declared independence on July 2, 1776. Two days later, they debated and edited the Declaration of Independence. On July 8, 1776, Colonel John Nixon publicly read the Declaration aloud in Philadelphia’s State House yard (now Independence Square). This was accompanied by bell ringing (including the Liberty Bell), cheers, and some military displays.
I am a science teacher. So before we do anything else, we are going to look at the actual data. Because the data DESTROYS the entire narrative.
Black poverty in America fell from 87 percent in 1940 to 47 percent in 1960. That is FORTY POINTS in twenty years. Before the Great Society. Before Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Before a single dollar of the $22 trillion the federal government has spent on poverty programs since 1965. The free market, economic growth, and an intact family culture did that — forty points — in two decades.
For nearly 1,800 years, Christians did not believe supporting a modern nation-state was a biblical mandate. Then a nineteenth-century theological system changed how millions read prophecy—and eventually how many viewed foreign policy. This is the untold story of John Nelson Darby, dispensationalism, and how a theological innovation became so deeply woven into American Christianity that many now assume it has always been there.
On September 17, 1787, the final day of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin, 81, shared with his fellow delegates his assessment of the new Constitution:
I confess that there are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them: For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information, or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise.
In the 1960s, when I joined the U.S. Army, the communists that we opposed were in places like North Korea, China, the Soviet Union, Cuba, and, of course, Vietnam. That is no longer the case. Today, the communists we were once trained to kill are here within our borders, not “over there.”
Every veteran remembers that tiny glass bottle of Tabasco tucked inside an MRE. Most of us assumed it had always been there—or heard ridiculous barracks rumors that it was issued to keep you awake on guard duty. The truth is even better. It wasn’t the product of a Pentagon study or a billion-dollar procurement program. It was the idea of a Marine who understood that morale sometimes comes in a one-eighth-ounce bottle. This is the story of how one of the most beloved pieces of military “equipment” earned its place in America’s rucksacks—one spicy meal at a time.
I have always favored the 85% solution over the perfect solution, as perfect is never achieved, but with an 85% solution one can look to improve it if the situation allows. The fourteen point Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Trump administration and Iran is just that a memo. The objectives President Trump laid out has achieved 99% of what he set out to do – stop Iran from making a nuclear weapon and destroy their ability to do so.
Here’s a question for you: Can a nation so bitterly divided reunite and enjoy its 250th birthday this July 4th? Is patriotism in America dead—a quaint relic of another time when Americans (both Democrat and Republican) were proud of their country?
Comic Nate Bargatze did what was once thought impossible. By playing General Washington, he brought comedy back to SNL after a 30-year absence with two skits called Washington’s Dream in which the general shares his vision of America.
Slavery was a moral evil, but that doesn’t mean every story we’ve inherited about it is historically accurate. Most Southern households did not own slaves. A common soldier couldn’t afford one. Former slave owners were generally not compensated after emancipation. Industrialization didn’t make slavery obsolete—it often made it more profitable. The Civil War itself was far more complex than the slogans we use to describe it. History deserves better than mythology. We can condemn slavery without reservation while still insisting on facts over folklore, because understanding the past honestly is the only way to understand the present clearly.
In Federalist 85, the last of the Federalist Papers, Hamilton brings his closing argument for the adoption of the draft Constitution.
In 1775 – when the Continental Congress unanimously selected him as our Commander in Chief – and today, it is clear that George Washington was and remains, in every way, the Father of His Country.
Every civilization seems to invent a cosmic scorecard. The ancient Egyptians had the 42 Assessors of Ma’at. Modern culture has social media, political tribes, and endless virtue signaling. The question never changes: Have you done enough?
Christianity’s answer is radically different. It doesn’t tell us to try harder, climb higher, or balance the scales. It tells us the scales can never be balanced by human effort alone. Grace—God’s unearned favor—is the answer to a problem humanity has wrestled with for thousands of years. The Gospel is not the story of people reaching up to God, but of God reaching down to people. That’s why Christians call it good news.
