The Tea Party Treatment for the America First Coalition: Same playbook, same coalition

by

In 2009, a grassroots revolt against bailouts, bureaucratic overreach, and a bipartisan Washington consensus was met – within a few short years – by a coordinated squeeze from four directions at once. The squeezers included the Democrat Party and Obama White House, their legacy media sycophants, the Republican establishment, and the trade associations and consultants who depend on both parties staying roughly where they are, politically speaking.

America’s Rifle: The 26 Million People You Didn’t See on the Evening News

by

The evening news shows you the criminal with an AR-15. It rarely shows you the millions of Americans who own one, go to work, raise families, shoot matches, hunt, protect their homes—and never hurt anybody. The 2026 National Firearms Survey estimates 26.4 million Americans own an AR-15 or similar semiautomatic rifle. At that point, perhaps we should stop pretending it’s some exotic fringe firearm and call it what it has become: America’s Rifle. Behind every blade of grass? Maybe not—but we’re certainly working on it. God bless America. Shall not be infringed.

9/11 Was the Government’s Biggest Failure — So Why Do Truthers Think It Was Their Only Flawless Success?

by

Quick note before I get into it, because today’s the day this actually matters. It’s Patriot Day. Twenty-five years since 2,977 people went to work, boarded a flight, or showed up for a shift, and didn’t come home, and since 343 FDNY firefighters ran up stairwells everyone else was running down. Everything below this gets …

America Is In A Slow Motion Suicide

America Is In A Slow Motion Suicide

There was a one-story building next to one of the towers that served as its lobby: “Plop, plop, plop” could be heard inside that lobby. Someone asked “what is that noise?” Answer: “People are jumping out the windows instead of being burned to death. They land on the roof, causing this noise.” 

All the Days of Our Lives

by

This has been a sad and bittersweet year for us. So far this year, we’ve bid farewell to eight of our long-time ministry friends and supporters, as they’ve gone home to be with the Lord. We don’t get invited to weddings anymore, but there have been far too many funerals. Most have passed away at a ripe, old age. Some have been taken from us too soon.

PART V — Jesus, the New Eden, the Tree of Life, and the Eternal Vocation of God’s Human Family

by

Jesus is the center of the entire Bible because He answers all three rebellions. He defeats the serpent (Gen. 3; Rev. 12), proclaims victory over the imprisoned Watchers (1 Pet. 3:19–20), and reclaims the nations disinherited at Babel (Matt. 28:18–20; Acts 2). He is the Second Adam (1 Cor. 15:45), restoring humanity’s failed vocation.

The Hard Truth About 9/11: A sobering view from 25 years after.

by

President Bush at Ground Zero on 9/14/2001: “Thank you all. I want you all to know that America today is on bended knee in prayer for the people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who work here, for the families who mourn. This nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut as we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens.”

The Coldest Paradise in Recreational Scuba

by

There are places where the water is warm, the reefs are colorful, and every dive feels familiar. Then there’s Thunder Bay. Hidden beneath the cold, crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron lies one of North America’s greatest collections of preserved shipwrecks, where history is measured not in museums, but in feet of depth. From the beginner-friendly “Oscar T. Flint” at 33 feet, to the towering machinery of the “Montana” at 63 feet, and finally the legendary “Grecian” resting around 100 feet below the surface, few places offer such a perfect progression for recreational divers. The only catch? You have to embrace the cold—but those who do are rewarded with an underwater time capsule unlike anywhere else in the world.
