Assassins Vs. Apostles — A Recap of the Election

There are going to be a number of post-election critics and analysts with their opinion of who won and who lost and why. What we know for sure is that the divide is real in our communities. The local paper’s summation that some “engaged in ridiculous culture wars” in a recent editorial confirmed that they […]

For God, Country, and Harley Brown, Pilgrim

Recently, while lamenting the sad state of our Uni-Party system, where Republicans and Democrats often seem to be just two sides of the same Twix bar, my mind flitted back a few years to the halcyon days of the 2014 Idaho primary campaigns. These days the rancor, rampant dishonesty, hypocrisy, and general disregard for the […]

Will America Survive Another Two Years?

Many have said they hope someone with an America First Policy, like President Trump, will be elected in 2024 and we will be able to reverse this madness. But the question has to be asked if we will even survive the next two years. As soon as Biden was elected, he signed a stack of […]

The 2024 Republican Presidential Primary is shaping up to be one of the most consequential primaries of the last forty years.

The May 16th Election: Absolutes or Relativism?

“Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man” is a saying attributed to St. Ignatius of Loyola. “Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted” is credited to Vladimir Lenin. Lenin followed up with another quote that stated, […]

Pragmatism in Defense of Liberty is No Vice

I haven’t seen so many Democrats this mad (and scared) since the Republicans freed the slaves. I haven’t seen so many people hate a President like the various progressive and RINO factions in our country today hate Donald Trump, since the Democrats, Peace Democrats, and Copperheads expressed their hate for Abraham Lincoln from 1858 until […]

Why Trump in 2024?

As Manhattan AG Bragg continues with his witch hunt to indict President Trump, his supporters continue to grow. If Bragg indicts Trump, it will be the first time this has ever happened to an American president. This frivolous lawsuit looks like a “Hail Mary” attempt to harm Trump’s run for a second term in 2024. […]

Blame Game Fear

“Fear is the mind killer.” Frank Herbert Fear is a powerful motivator, which is why fear is often deployed as a tool for persuasion, particularly in politics where blame is assigned to past events and future predictions. We see it all the time. If you don’t vote a certain way something bad will happen. Your […]

Who are we?

Herschel Walker gave the best concession speech I have ever heard —I paraphrase: There are no excuses, thank you, this is a time for reflection. So, I shall reflect on what happened in the disastrous Republican mid-terms and give an opinion about how we should move forward. First, we don’t know who we are. For […]

Twitter is Just the Tip of the Big Tech Iceberg

Well, it looks like the preverbal POOP hit the fan this week with Mr. Musk the new owner of Twitter, spilling the beans on the previous owners’ and employees’ collusion with the federal government. Twitter was indeed shadow banning and censoring comments and the reach of anyone they deemed to be a problem by the […]

Why Trump Deserves a Second Term

What is amazing to me is how quickly so many Republican politicians have turned their back on the first president in three decades who has actually helped the American people. His only fault was not recognizing how big and powerful the deep state was. It’s hard to fight an enemy when you don’t see them […]

The Systematic Gaslighting of America

How Liberal Media and Big Tech are destroying our country Gaslighting is not something new and if we go back through history, you will find that gaslighting bears a remarkable resemblance to what we would call “Propaganda” back in the 1940s. Gaslighting as presented by Wikipedia is a colloquialism, loosely defined as manipulating someone so […]
