Origins of the Constitution

Have We Lost the Source of Truth? I have seen a number of articles and essays that tell us that our Constitution had its origins from Cicero, Plato and other thinkers and rulers of the Greek and Roman period. They add the thinking of the “enlightenment period” of the eighteenth century that provided the wisdom […]

How did we get here? A walk-through History

Everyone seems to ask the same question “How did we get to where we are with the wokeness, Critical Race theory, gender orientation, and the general discourse with most Americans? It is almost as if we were back in the 1800s just before the Civil War. There is so much conflict in our country that […]

Finally, Idaho has an Attorney General willing to do his Job

The election of Attorney General Raul Labrador could be a game-changer for Idaho. We have already seen AG Labrador stop the ridiculous and costly prosecution of Sara Brady and he is now entering the fracas in the Caldwell School District. The school district board closed down a recent meeting because of strong controversy over their […]

Proven Science can’t be changed by Legislation

I am always surprised when a ruling coming from the Eastern District of California in the IX US District Court is one that I agree with. Wisdom and fidelity to the Founding Principles and our Constitution seem to be in short supply in our country, but especially in California. There does appear to be a […]

St. Luke’s Defamation Farce?

How can a company with several very public issues recover their reputation? St Luke’s hospital seems to think the answer is to attack the patients who have offered honest feedback. However, as a member of the community and having watched St Luke’s PR struggles, I can honestly say that they cannot place blame on anyone […]

Unleash the Power of School Choice

Life is competition. Every organism on the planet, from virus to human, is the champion of a generation’s long struggle for the right to exist. Every product you consider, collect or consume is the result of innumerable competitive transactions. There are so many competitive transactions that must occur to produce even the simplest product that […]

North American Union

Flying under the radar, as most critical news does today, was a statement released by the White House on January 10, 2023, labeled the Declaration of North America (DNA) after leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. met in Mexico City for the 10th North American Leaders’ Summit (NALS). No, it is really the White […]

There is Always Work to be Done

Fay Vincent is best known for having been The Commissioner of Baseball from 1989-1991. I find little to agree with Mr. Vincent politically and growing up in Ohio watching “The Big Red Machine” and Pete Rose, I felt that he should have shown some mercy and allowed Mr. Rose to be reinstated into baseball and […]

Gratitude

For the past 23 years, I have been fortunate enough to be able to swim on early summer mornings at an outdoor pool. Occasionally I am joined by a delightful lady who taught high school senior English at an elite high school for over thirty years. She is now retired but occasionally does substitute teaching. […]

Our Clergy Must Stand Up for God and Country NOW!

A tsunami of evil is growing against the Christian community and needs to be stopped. Our forefathers were willing to do certain things to give us this God given nation that today’s Christian community seems all too willing to give up to the left. Our forefathers gave up trying to appease the British noted by […]

When Public Schools Indoctrinate Instead of Educate our Children

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 […]

I Made a Peace Offering; Let’s See if They Will Take It

“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) […]
