CRT = Can’t Rely on Teachers Our country has done very well for the past 247 years without the Wokeness, CRT, and Transgendreism being introduced into our public education system, colleges, and corporate culture. Since its inception, it has done nothing but cause a huge amount of angst among parents, students, educators, and school board […]
“A good example of how evil forces can devour righteous men” Yesterday while I was out, two people came to the front door of my home and served my family with more legal papers from St. Luke’s. The amount of mail and people serving legal papers (whether it be private servers or a sheriff deputy) […]
Why are Davos Speakers so Angry?
“Could it be the cost of jet fuel or because no one believes their lies?” I am still thinking about how angry the speakers at Davos this past week were.

The Quality of Mercy
My Quaker grandmother protested in front of the American Friends Service Committee on the campus of Swarthmore College early on during the Viet Nam War.

Tyranny or Freedom
A Look Back at 2022 “For freedom Christ has set us free, stand firm therefore, and do not submit to the yoke of slavery.” — Galatians 5:1 Well, we ended the year 2022 with over 5 million illegals crossing the border. To put that in perspective that is like adding the population of two Idaho’s […]
