Insanity!!!

This is a very disturbing post.  It contains several news stories that would seem to portend the possible collapse of western civilization.  The last item is particularly gruesome and sickening.  I publish  out of a conviction that we must wake up and face the enemy.  And who is this enemy? “We are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, […]

Mean Words and Vicious Lies

I’m angered by the mean words that Biden, Obama, and Clinton are using to describe their Republican opposition.  If you believe them, Republicans, especially Trump supporters, are a threat to Democracy, and we must vote for Democrats if we are to save the republic.  Hyperbole is a mark of every political campaign, but Biden and […]

Stochastic Terrorism

Stochastic terrorism is a term coined by academics to  describe the public demonization of a person or group that results in the incitement of a violent act that is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted. Some months ago, many people on America’s political left demonized the Supreme Court following revelations that it was […]

America is Racist?

Leftist progressives like to say thar America is racist, and they frequently hurl a charge of racism against anyone  opposing their political agenda. They are absolutely wrong.  This nation is more accepting of people of different ethnicities than any other nation on earth.  It has not always been that way.  Emigrants from Ireland and eastern […]

Reformation 2022

I wrote this article on the Reformation several years ago. I am republishing it now, on on the eve of Reformation Day 2022, for the benefit of those who may be new to this blog. Church historians, Catholic and Protestant, may be able to correct me on certain points, but I believe this to be […]

Hard-Wired

Perhaps 60% of American voters are hard-wired.  If you pin a party label on a pig, 30% of voters would vote for that pig if the label identified it as a Democrat; another 30% would support the same pig if the label read Republican.  During an election, the real effort is to gain votes from […]

Rot at the Top

Over the past several years, the steady stream of incriminating information forced me to believe it even before now, but recent disclosures in John Durham’s trial of Igor Danchenko and others should prove to everyone that there is  corruption in the very highest echelons of the FBI and Department of Justice.  Beginning in 2016, government […]

Naiveté

At times when I reflect on my youth I am somewhat embarrassed to admit to my sexual naiveté.  I was a voracious reader, and the heroes of my novels were always men of honor, and the young ladies who populated the pages of these books were as pure as the driven snow.  This is the […]

Another Bathroom Battle

During a recent interview with Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin on CNN’s State of the Union, anchor Jake Tapper took issue with a new state policy that requires students’ bathrooms and sports teams to be based on a student’s actual biological sex, not what they are pretending or think themselves to be at that particular moment.  […]

Hugging the Devil

Perhaps the most difficult concept for progressives to accept is the Biblical truth that evil exists. Evil is palpable, and at times it is demonic. Ask the survivors of Auschwitz. Progressives are often willfully ignorant in their view of evil and sin, and they act as if these concepts are medieval fabrications. They condemn the […]
