I’m certain that many of you read that Justice Kananaugh and family were recently harassed while having dinner at a downtown Washington restaurant.  They had to leave the place via a rear door in order to evade the mob. Such conduct is inexcusable.  Democrat Party leaders should condemn it; instead, some of them cheer it […]

In 2019 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez predicted that the world would end in twelve years.  At the time I thought she was referring to the climate crisis.  Now I am coming to believe that she was referring to the anticipated Democrat Party take-over of the Federal government.  The Democrats won control of the House in January 2019 […]

I often observe instances in which enemies of traditional values foist destructive social views on an unsuspecting audience.  This is especially true of the entertainment industry, and I believe the practice to be quite pervasive. Let me provide one small example. I enjoyed the 1990 movie Kindergarten Cop.  It was a fun show, and I’ve […]

What transpires in the bowels of the Federal bureaucracy?  Sometimes that bureaucracy is described as a swamp, but perhaps it would be more accurate to compare it to the intestines of a giant leviathan.  That would help explain the occasional leakage of noxious gases.  Something foul is being produced. Recently, Congressman Jim Banks, Chairman of […]

Happy 246th birthday, America! Our nation appears more divided than at any time in my memory, and I’ve been around 93 years. Last evening I listened to two historians discuss the current state of division in America.  One of them appeared to believe that it was no great matter.  After all, he said, America has […]

On July 3, 1863, my grandfather Clement Jordan and other members of the 18th Virginia infantry regiment assembled under the cover of trees on Seminary Ridge.   They looked across the fields toward Cemetery Ridge and realized that it would be long way to advance under fire.  Nevertheless, when the order came down, they moved forward […]

It saddens me that I have lost my faith in the Federal Department of Justice and the FBI.  I am certain many good persons are still working in both organizations, but there must be corruption – especially at the top.  How else can we explain the fact that opponents of the current administration are often […]

My sons and I bat ideas back and forth as we discuss the current political scene.  Some of you might be interested in this recent exchange. To a son:  I read the two articles you sent me, and now I wish to make a rather lengthy response. As for the New York Post editors, they […]

On June 28, 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were murdered in the streets of Sarajevo by a young Slavic nationalist.  The archduke was heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his assassination precipitated a series of events leading to the outbreak of World War I.  Forty-one years of war and turmoil followed, and […]

As we witness responses to the Supreme Court’s recent overturn of   Roe v Wade, we are looking directly into the face of evil.  “Damn the Supreme Court” they say.  “Damn Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and Barrett.”  These crazed demonstrators are ready to destroy Democracy itself.  They hate Christianity and will do anything to satisfy the appetite […]
