Where art rekindles faith

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.

Where’s the regime change? It is in Iran because killing the ayatollah created a power vacuum.

The Clara Peller Company of the RINO Regiment of the Dividers Division is chirping, “Where’s the regime change?”

You remember Clara. She was the 66-year-old manicurist hired to ask, “Where’s the beef?” 42 years ago in a memorable Wendy’s commercial.

She had a legitimate, um, beef. Many a fast food hamburger in 1984 was all bun and little burger.

Today, those who oppose Making America Great Again—both foreign and domestic—are demanding regime change. Where’s the regime change they demand.

Thoughts about America, the Flag, and Patriotism as we Approach America’s 250th Birthday (Part Two)

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?

Trump’s Brilliant Idea: USPS Moves To Limit Mail-In Ballots – In Time For Midterms?

Trump's Brilliant Idea: USPS Moves To Limit Mail-In Ballots - In Time For Midterms?

Pursuant to President Trump’s executive orders, the US Postal Service proposed a new rule that would effectively create a national voter list and prevent states from mailing ballots to anyone who is not on that list. If states don’t comply, their residents will not be able to vote.

Maybe It’s Time to Retire the Reflecting Pool

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.

La Reconquista Is a Threat to the Republic, Part I: A comprehensive analysis

La Reconquista is a fringe irredentist ideology promoted by some Chicano and Mexican-American activists. It calls for the cultural, demographic, or political “reclamation” of the U.S. Southwest, which Mexico lost after the Mexican-American War.

Why Americans reject metric: The joke is true. The American revolution was about weights and measures.

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.

Islam Out!

America at 250 years experienced epochal transitions from a Frontier to Agricultural to Industrial to (first-iteration) Post-Industrial society, from colonies to nation-state to world power and empire to super-power to global uber-super-power, economic crises, wars, and its terrible civil war of national definition in the War Between the States. Concurrently, each century had a paramount issue of national definition.

The Myths We Teach Ourselves About Slavery

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.
