Hate On Display

It seems like our governments are populated with sociopaths that would rather blow up our institutions and economy than give power back to the people. Let’s examine the recent alleged incident where a man in a truck assaulted the University of Utah’s women’s basketball team. “Assault” because an assault can be verbal if it induces […]

We are all Americans

We are now in Black History Month. How is a white person who was raised in a time of social and cultural segregation—in both the north and the south, and who has now raised a family and has grandchildren, supposed to feel and talk about our great American Sin—slavery? Lance Morro in The Wall Street […]

Everything is not Black or White

Today’s Media Tries to Rewrite American History The common saying that the news today becomes the history of tomorrow is probably only partially true. History has a context. The news in real time substitutes a narrative in the place of context. One would think that because there are so many sources of news today, it […]

Is America a Racist Nation?

During a recent volleyball game between BYU and Duke, it was reported that a BYU fan sitting in the student section was using the “N” word toward a black Duke volleyball athlete.

Why We Are Divided and who is To Blame?

I remember in a very famous campaign speech in 2012 President Obama repeating the famous words of Dr. Martin Luther King about a man should be judged “by the content of his character and not the color of his skin.” This week my wife and I will be traveling to Hampton Virginia where Booker T. […]

Racism in America? Prove it!

The leftist Democrat tactic of silencing free speech by blocking speakers, a cancel culture in the workplace and social media banning is a detriment to our republic.

Wokeism – A New Religion

Anyone who enters into a moral argument does so at the risk of being labeled a virtue signaler. I make no claim of virtue, nor am I an ethicist or Biblical Apologist. Most of my thoughts today are not my own but, come from the teachings of Fr. James V. Schull S. J. and Pope […]
