Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood;
“Socialism does not collapse because it runs out of money. It collapses because it runs out of truth. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn understood this better than almost anyone alive. The Soviet Union was not held together by productivity, innovation, or freedom. It was held together by fear and a mountain of compulsory lies. Citizens learned to repeat obvious nonsense simply to survive. Newspapers reported record harvests while shelves sat empty. The state called itself a workers’ paradise while millions disappeared into camps. As the Bible warns in The Bible, Satan is ‘the father of lies,’ and every authoritarian system follows the same blueprint: suppress truth, punish dissent, and force the population to publicly kneel before fiction. The gulag was not the beginning of the process. It was the final invoice.”
Parillo explores elections and why only one Senator can stop legislation
In this chapter, Hamilton (and Parillo) address the opposite question, why should the new federal government not regulate all elections?
After his last bombing raid over Germany, my father-in-law wrote in his journal: “I can’t explain the way I feel – a tremendous relief; the knowledge that I will see my wife and family again is like having your life handed to you – like a reprieve from a death sentence.”
Whether anyone realizes it or not, and most probably don’t because our schools indoctrinate our children, not educate them, America’s current political turmoil almost precisely mirrors events that led up to the French Revolution in 1789. Unlike America’s successful Revolutionary War a few years earlier that separated Britain’s original thirteen American Colonies from the mother country, the French Revolution was the complete opposite, a revenge-filled orgy of mayhem, chaos, and mass murder that spilled the blood of thousands of people, nobles, merchants, and anyone else who didn’t agree with the usurpers’ politically correct path to totalitarianism.
Some Legends Are Harder To Believe Than Others No Matter How True Since my first Memorial Day article went down range in May 2021, I’ve updated and reposted it several times as a reminder of what this special day is about and what it means to those who served. If you serve long enough- regardless …
Memorial Day. The official start of summer here in these United States. Like retired Army Colonel Buck Surdu, I have mixed emotions on this what should be somber day. You can read his thoughts here: Thoughts on Memorial Day Like everyone else in these United States, I am very glad to see summer arrive. It …
What are the top 5 reasons the United States is the greatest nation ever conceived by mankind?
Do Small States Have Too Much Power? In Madison’s time, the composition of the House caused that question. Today, it’s the Senate.
Because Republicans freed the slave, because Republicans continued, long after the Civil War, promoting civil rights for blacks and because Democrats continued to suppress blacks, all black voters & politicians were Republicans. Then, Democrats created Jim Crow laws to oppress black Americans.
Ernie Vande Zande was more than a national champion and record-setter; he was the rare competitor who made everyone around him better. Known as “the Human Benchrest,” the Army major and Camp Perry champion combined world-class precision with a quiet willingness to help any shooter who genuinely wanted to improve. His classic article Sights, Wind and Mirage still teaches competitors how to read conditions decades after it was written. Smallbore lost more than a legend when Ernie passed in 2018—it lost a mentor, a gentleman, and one of the finest ambassadors the sport has ever known.

The first thought is simple. Then, if you keep thinking and studying, layers of complexity with expanding horizons, exponential new factors, and conflicting facts appear. Yet, after more thought and study, the holistic conclusion is simple. A few words very loaded with meaning suffice.
I am not optimistic about today’s independent media. Most of its practitioners are untrained amateurs who lack the basic reportorial skills to gather accurate, fair, and balanced information.
