Growing up I looked forward to receiving two magazines in the mail every month. Sports Illustrated (SI)—especially in January with the Swim Suit Issue, and Scientific American. I stopped subscribing to (SI) in 1992 because of the incredible slanted articles they wrote regarding issues that today would be considered “social justice” centric. The same thing […]
Today has been a great day. First Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are given portfolio and title to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. CNN certainly has a different take on what is about to happen than the new directors themselves: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/politics/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-department-of-government-efficiency-trump/index.html https://nypost.com/2023/11/13/news/vivek-ramaswamy-vows-to-fire-federal-workers-based-on-social-security-numbers-nothing-will-break Classical business governance dogma—I must admit that it has over the […]
For the past four years several times a day I have prayed that we have another GREAT AWAKENING IN OUR COUNTRY. WE have had several such religious revivals. Faith, has always informed our political philosophy and politics in our country, starting with the words of our GREAT DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.—’WE are endowed by our Creator […]
Lynn and I are Westerners. Lynn was born in Caldwell, spent most of her childhood years in Havre Montana, and raised her family in Eagle Idaho. I was born in Minot North Dakota, followed our military family in several States and then I was raised through high school in Ohio. For the last 36 years […]
Any follower or disciple of the great philosopher and Apologetic L. Marvin Moorehead, who practiced his craft like a mid-20th century Socrates in classrooms and on football fields in Central Ohio, has forever “imprinted on their brains” the words “ALIBIS DESTROY CHARACTER”. 2000 years earlier the greatest of all teachers and The Son of God […]
This may be my last post at the Gem State Patriot before the November Presidential Election. I have attempted to present reasons for voting for President Trump based on political philosophy and Biblical and Natural Law Principles, but today I want to present a very practical and very real reason for supporting DJT—MILITARY READINESS is […]
I am writing this post on the morning after the Donald Trump/Tucker Carlson town hall meeting in Arizona four days before the presidential election. The presentation by the speakers was exquisite. For me, the best speaker was RFK Jr. He has an obvious speech impediment and speaks with a graveling forced expiratory effort, but his […]
What is “gaslighting”? It is simply not telling the truth. We must however understand that the media and political elites who substitute a political narrative for facts that set the premise for any argument, must first not tell the truth. Their story of policy and philosophy has been a dismal failure. We must first understand […]
I opined over a year ago that we need a new GREAT AWAKENING. As this election season draws to an end, I believe this is truer than ever before. We all know in our hearts that there is something wrong with the world, but there has always been something wrong with the world. There are […]
The issue of RACE that has come up increasingly in our politics this election year is intimately connected to the issue of what has been called our “great American sin”. Slavery, however, in all its various forms, is as old as history itself. In experiencing this great crime against humanity America is not unique. From […]
We are three weeks away from the Presidential election. Questioning election integrity has been a tradition in our country since at least the 1800 Election when Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr defeated John Adams—the incumbent. Prior to the adaption of The 12th Amendment, the person receiving the most votes for President became President and the […]
As political campaigns evolve and mature, as the factions become hardened and the number of people who will determine the election becomes a smaller fraction of the electorate—who could possibly be in the middle or undecided at this point in time in our country(?)—the words of my mother who ran many political Statewide election campaigns […]
