In the biography, “Churchill: A Life,” author Martin Gilbert writes how Winston Churchill loudly voiced his grave concerns about the apathy shared by those seemingly impervious to the malevolent National Socialist Movement’s intention to steam through Europe like volcanic lava, destroying everything in its way, including free speech. In direct response, Hitler began warning Germans […]

Darkness abounds. Nonetheless wisdom beckons, reminding those who’ll listen to make the very best of the dark days we’re in rather than allowing these dark daysto get the best of us. However, that’s not easy. Darkness is easier to adapt to than light. Here in Alaska, summer’s glaring midnight sun is pretty offensive at bedtime. […]

We hear you loud and clear about guns, President Obama. It’s a little odd though, that you’d make insinuations about taking our guns away after the recent college shooting in Oregon, especially now that the EU Times reports the Federal Security Services (FSB) listed the shooter as an “American black-Islamist terror suspect” not quite the […]

“…when the wicked rule, the people groan.” – Proverbs 29:2 Forget diamonds. A Glock is this girl’s best friend. Strapping one on my thigh over camos is a pretty sexy fashion statement if you ask me. Functional too, especially now that crime’s on the rise in the U.S. thanks to the anti-cop, soft-on-crime Progressive left. […]

What’s a teacher to do if he sees a wired briefcase that looks like a homemade bomb in the classroom? Obviously not apply the Obama administration’s “If you see something, say something” rule. Nor should they follow the school’s zero tolerance policy to keep students safe, like school administrators in Irving, Texas did after 14-year-old […]

The Rowan CountyKentucky elected official Kim Davis was jailed unjustly. Unjustly, because we live in a societywhich promotes “right” as “wrong,” and wrong as right and laws are applied to some and not others. I guess we should ignore that top-down, this country is filled with leftist ideologues who violate laws yet are not thrown […]

Like the road to Hell, liberal ideas are usually paved with good intentions. But, as Ronald Reagan once said, “The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.”  And all that vast un-knowledgebirthsmonster government agencies like the EPA, which end up doing more […]

Donald Trump’s commanding lead in the polls is a solemn reminder that if we’re not careful, another narcissistic good talker will be elected to complete the fundamental transformation President Obama began. Choosing style and good sound bites over substance got us in the mess we’re in with a president whohighlights his intellectual shortcomings when he […]

We are created with an innate sense of right and wrong and a desire for justice, so when we hear about maddening scandals like the one at the Veterans Administration last year, we expect those in charge toquickly take action to right wrongs.If only it were that easy.   A little background: Public awareness of […]

The progressive left has cannibalizedthe Democrat[ic] Party to the point that even its chairman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, can no longer differentiate between today’s Democrat and a Socialist. Or, if she can, she’s afraid to explain the difference, which is what likely happened during two recent interviews where she had to change the subject rather than […]

President Obama told the BBC he’s “stymied” because he’s not gotten his way regarding gun control –yet. So, apparently we should just relinquish our guns during a Second Amendment burning ceremony on the National Lawn. Obama’supset more Americans don’t agree with his definition of “common sense” guncontrol. If Pew Research is correct, a majority of […]

As we witness the fall and likely deterioration of the small Mediterranean nation of Greece, it would be wise to understand that unless America makes radical corrections, Greece’s fate will be ours.Like inGreece, our politicians are afraid to tell us the truth about soaring debt, out-of-control spending and healthcare costs accounting for 30% of the […]

Oh, the injustice of fivejustices wearing black robes, so overwhelmingly endowed withspecial superpowers, they can read what’s not written and createsketchy laws out of thin air, declaringsomething as a fundamental right, though it can’t be backed by verbiage in the Constitution, according to Chief Justice John Roberts. But now, “it’s the law.”   America’s founders […]

Newly released FBI documents confirm, just like President Obama, hard-core communism runs deep in the family of his most influential and trusted advisor, Valerie Jarrett.  Ms. Jarrett is the one some describe as Mr. Obama’s puppet-master…the wind beneath his wings…the real president. The FBI documents reveal Ms. Jarrett’s late father, James E. Bowman, was in […]

Fearmongering is quite lucrative in what seems to be a burgeoning “climate change industrial complex” wherein certain people benefit monetarily or politically in their promotion of global catastrophic risk due to catastrophic global warming. Al Gore got filthy rich railing over imminent destruction due to rising sea levels, then purchased multiple beachfront properties, despite the […]

Political correctness is a contradiction of reality and distortion of morality that necessitates relentless government intervention devised by those who seek to control our lives. These self-appointed “Speech Sheriffs” warn us that words spoken outside the imaginary perimeters they’ve set are judgmental, negative, racist or intolerant. The goal of these elitists is to subtly subvert […]

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.” – The Serenity Prayer. If we were completely honest, we’d admit that Bruce (Caitlyn) Jenner’s problem is also ours. Jenner’s gender identity disorder is someone else’s eating…substance abuse…antisocial…you name […]

A recent Gallup poll, “Moral Acceptability: Changes Over Time,” shows Americans made a startling move to the left over the past 15 years. A blanket blaming of the church is the easy answer, but today, where black and white has faded into varying shades of gray, we are better served going back to where it […]

Reports coming out of Ramadi, Iraq and Palmyra, Syria convey hundreds of dead and burned bodies littering streets and thousands of people displaced and on the run. Loss after loss, setback after setback, the White House remains resolved: The president’s Islamic State [ISIS] strategy is an “overall success,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest on […]

Dear President Obama, I write this letter in response to your May 12 visit to Georgetown University where, in a so-called religious setting, you urged conservatives and liberals to unify to fight poverty.  Helping those in need is a cause that touches the heart of God, so I was a little encouraged until you took […]

What is it about those who abandon American ideals that they would otherwise hold dear the moment terrorist groups make threats or when a particular point of view stands against theirs in opposition? Is it fear? A lack of moral grounding? Both? Those who only stand for freedom for likeminded individuals or just up until […]

As Americans mournthe loss of Grey’s Anatomy’s Dr. Dreamy, on the other side of the world people struggle to stay alive amidst the rubble from the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Nepal that killed more than 4,000 people. Real tragedy has a way of forcing us to face the one thing most of us prefer to ignore. […]

Because things are obviously not going well for the Democrat[ic] Party these days, I thought this former Democrat should do her part to help out and make a few suggestions. Read the First Amendment. It’s your friend.For now, America is still a free speech zone. Disagree with anyone you wish, but know that everyone else […]

It is tax week 2015. If you completed your tax return on time and wrotethat check you’d much rather leave in your account, why notpour yourself a cup of coffee (or maybe a bottle of antacid relief) and plop yourself down in your favorite easy chair and sit a spell.You deserve it. While relaxing, why […]

Perspective always has two sides, right and wrong. During tough times, the right perspective can propel the least likely among us to greatness when the fiery passion burning within inspires them to do the impossible. Pressing forward, they inadvertently change the world around them with each painful step. They understand they cannot control what happens […]

All men sail through life’s rough waters, what shipwrecks some empowers others. Undying perseverance and a devotion to a higher calling belong to those who survive. Heroes they are, though that is not what we call them initially. England’s King George VI, for example, was depicted by the press of his day as a drab […]

From Creation, on, mankind has proven time and again that rules are necessary to keep society in check. Chaos reigns in places where the definition of right and wrong is not clearly defined. On March 21, the UK Telegraph had an interesting article about a child psychotherapist who thinks a growing number of kids are […]

Establishment Republicans gave Democrats a generous Christmas gift this year while at the same time stuffing conservatives’ stockings with coal in the passage of the omnibus spending bill. These Republicans obviously forgot that it was the hard work of grassroots conservatives that gave them the majority, winning the largest number of Congressional seats since the […]

As the chaotic healthcare enrollment period grinds to a halt, it is clear that Obamacare has changed America. Oh, what a tangled web Liberals weaved when they practiced to deceive Americans — about why it was “necessary” to dismantle America’s healthcare system, when all that it really needed was minor tweaking. Coverage for pre-existing conditions […]
