Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
The UFC event rose above all the hate and nonsense spewed by this vocal, unhinged and violent segment of our society and their cheerleaders in the LSMBTGANF. The pageantry with the backdrop of the White House predominant with events centered around the Ellipse and the Washington Monument was splendiferous.
Church attendance keeps sliding from 42% to 30% and more than 4,000 churches closed last year. Revival may be trending as a headline, but the pews tell a different story. That’s why Luminiscience, now installed at Philadelphia’s Cathedral Basilica, is worth covering.
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?
For more than a century, Americans have spent millions of dollars fighting nature at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Built in 1922 as a grand architectural feature, the pool transformed a former Potomac floodplain into a shallow, artificial body of water that has suffered recurring algae blooms, leaks, sediment buildup, and costly repairs ever since. The latest maintenance controversy isn’t a new problem—it’s simply the latest chapter in a hundred-year struggle to maintain a giant pond where nature never intended one to exist. Instead of pouring more taxpayer dollars into perpetual repairs, perhaps it’s time to ask a different question: what if we reclaimed the 15 acres occupied by the Reflecting Pool and returned that space to the public? Expanded lawns, shaded gathering areas, memorial gardens, event space, and recreational areas could serve millions of visitors far better than a body of water that most people can only walk around and photograph. Sometimes the best way to solve a century-old engineering problem is not to engineer harder—it’s to admit the original idea has outlived its usefulness.
Mr. Obama’s comments at his Presidential Center show a lack of knowledge, or his latest attempt to split the American people. Both options are believable.
Today in Cloft’s Corner, Dave follows the adventures of Dr. Cashgrab as he enriches himself in the growing field of identity alteration.
I didn’t receive either of my two best Father’s Day gifts on Father’s Day. I got the first one on May 26, 1985 when my son was born. The second was the new daughter I received on January 19, 2024.
Federalist 84 is an interesting read because it includes Hamilton defending the fact that there is no Bill of Rights in the draft constitution.
The Obamas opened his presidential center (not library because that would require reading) on Thursday.
The duo gave speeches, which were really lectures. Mister Obama drones less than Al Gore but he is just as sophomoric in his mannerism and sophist in his reasoning. Both men received Nobel Peace Prizes. Two decades after Gore’s, the inconvenient truth is he lied to make money and remain relevant.
I have often heard the phrase: “Democrats hate our country.” Somehow, it always seemed a bit too imprecise and all-encompassing to condemn an entire political party for having such an unpatriotic conviction. After all, my parents and most of my family were Democrats, and I know they loved their country. I personally know other Democrats …
Angel Studios’ Young Washington will be released on July 3…. The film strips away the marble myth and reveals the raw, formative crucible that forged the man who would build a nation.
This single footnote could not and did not create a “constitutional right” to birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, a concept that was never intended by the 14th Amendment’s framers. The footnote has been rejected by constitutional scholars for decades.
The concept of communism, on paper, presents a vision of a just and equal society where everyone’s needs are met, and resources are shared. However, history has shown us that this idealistic ideology consistently fails in practice.
Hamilton continues his discourse on the nature of the Judiciary in Federalist 81. This paper addresses the very current issue of an activist Judiciary.
These two big government muscle movements encompassing the neutering or watering down of citizen’s rights reflected in the PATRIOT Act combined with the influx of DERF–color less money—represented too much of a lessening of the best practice government oversight functions which we are still paying for today in terms of the expansive growth of government post 9-11. Which continued relatively unabated until DOGE sliced some 250K or so government positions.
Today is National Eat Your Vegetables Day. Frankly I didn’t know there was such a day. And I don’t know why it exists. Or who invented it.
After the Democrat riots of 2020, many Liberals joined the race grifting industry because they expected it to expand significantly. In certain quarters, & in Blue States such as Oregon, it did expand. I am acquainted with one such newly minted “DEI consultant” who opened her business in Oregon in 2022.
The Baltimore Orioles’ Tupac bobblehead giveaway traded baseball’s rich tradition for a hollow marketing gimmick.
FBI thwarted explosive drone attack against Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event on the WH Lawn and have taken 5 suspects into custody. They are still investigating & expect to arrest a dozen more. The multi-phase terror attack allegedly involved using explosive-laden drone aircraft to strike buildings.
After Hamilton’s introduction to the Judiciary in Federalist 78, he digs a bit deeper into the subject here.
