Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
This is a long one. Grab coffee. I am going to walk through where Ohio actually stands right now — not where the campaign mailers say we stand, actual numbers — and then I am going to make the case for why Vivek Ramaswamy is the guy who gets us from “a fine place to be from” to “a place people move to on purpose.”
Just as there is no correlation or example of a successful socialist society employing the techniques being touted like new ideas by these 21st century socialist idjiots who the democrat party is embracing and welcoming into the tent.
The Army Chief of Staff is fired. Senior generals depart. The Secretary of the Army resigns. Meanwhile, the Iran war escalates and even tactical nuclear options reportedly enter Pentagon discussions.
Maybe it’s personalities and “woke generals.” Maybe it’s something much deeper happening behind classified doors.
What the hell is going on inside the Pentagon?
The 6th Amendment: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury …” It doesn’t say by a judge.
Something happened to me not so long ago that caused me to revisit an idea made ubiquitous during the height of the Covid response by the Federal government and the states, severally; “non-essential jobs. I had had some work done on my jeep; new rear wheel bearings. Once I paid the bill, I drove …
Man cannot destroy what he did not create. If the climate changes, so be it because Man will adapt.
Recently, our Sunday School class touched on the “Dark Night of the Soul”. So, I shared what I wrote about my Dark Night. My night won’t be your night, but the Holy Spirit might use mine to speak to you. To serve you.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) has morphed into a rogue agency that tramples on Americans’ rights and undermines the very principles of privacy and freedom.
People who have never done anything but government do not understand how wealth is created, grows, and expands to other areas. That is why “tax the rich” will never work.
My friend Morgan is still on hospice care. I spent several days at her bedside. I played guitar for her, sitting on a chair beside her. Sometimes we held hands and just looked at each other. Talking about olden times.
Like the day we first met, some years ago.
I grew up watching the World Trade Center rise, but us kids never called it that. To us, they were the Twin Towers. I watched them climb skyward in that burnt orange iron inner façade that defined a childhood when New York felt endless and everything seemed constructed to last. The Empire State Building, completed …
Ah, the good old days when the American spirit was as rugged as a cactus and as individualistic as a lone cowboy riding off into the sunset.
There is a maddening repetition in civilization. The national rise-and-fall pattern is the common thread. Mankind never learns; never studies; never accepts reality. Mankind always embraces a delusional blindness. This blind eye excuses, embraces, and enjoys a fancied invincible hubris. The cyclical repetition is amazing. A nation’s “rise and fall” is not Rome’s exclusivity.
How does this happen? Why are citizens complacent regarding their nation’s existence?
After the flood, God again commands humanity to “fill the earth” (Gen. 9:1). Instead, humanity gathers at Babel and says, “Let us make a name for ourselves” and “lest we be scattered” (Gen. 11:4). This is open rebellion. Babel is the first attempt at global government independent of God—centralized control, unified language, human exaltation. It is humanity trying to reverse God’s plan and replace divine rule with human empire.
Is Chief Justice John Roberts a judge who follows the law and the evidence to a conclusion, or a judge who cherry-picks the law and evidence to arrive at his opinion? I think we’re going to find out in the coming months.
Twenty-five years after 9/11, Americans still have questions—and apparently asking them remains more dangerous to polite society than leaving them unanswered. We know intelligence agencies had information about future hijackers, critical information wasn’t effectively shared, early accounts of the military response proved inaccurate, Saudi-connected individuals assisted two hijackers, and Building 7 became the first known tall building to completely collapse primarily from uncontrolled ordinary-content fires. None of that proves an inside job. It proves something much simpler: “trust us” isn’t an acceptable substitute for history. Open the remaining files, follow the evidence wherever it leads, destroy the stupid conspiracy theories with facts—and answer the legitimate questions. After 25 years, Americans have earned something better than a press release.
Charlie Kirk had thirteen adult years between founding Turning Point USA at 18 and his death at 31. Thirteen years to build something that would outlive him. But perhaps his most important message wasn’t ultimately political—it was pointing young people toward faith, family, purpose, and Christ.
The next generation will be discipled. The question is who will disciple them.
As we approach the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death, perhaps the best way to honor his legacy isn’t simply to remember him. It’s to continue the mission.
Our clocks are still running. Don’t waste them.
Genesis draws a sharp line between inside Eden (God’s dwelling) and outside Eden (the rest of earth). Humanity’s command to “fill the earth and subdue it” (Gen. 1:28) implies the world outside Eden was wild, undeveloped, and awaiting humanity’s rule. The Hebrew kavash (“subdue”) means to bring under order. You don’t “subdue” paradise. You subdue wilderness. The world outside Eden was not evil—just unfinished.
Public anxiety about data center construction only grows. Many worry that communities will face higher utility bills, water depletion, overburdened infrastructure and economic uncertainty.
I’m not expecting the GOP leadership to be perfect. But I don’t want them trying to pick state nominees and then supporting Democrats.
