There are times that writers take a step away – and provide us with something to enjoy – and take a look at things from a different aspect. ~ Editor
The sun was beginning to settle behind the western ridge, when I pulled an old wooden chair out onto the back porch, set my coffee beside me, and leaned back far enough that the chair gave a little groan beneath my weight. I took that as a good sign. A chair that has known you for twenty years and still complains when you sit down is a chair with character, and I have always trusted character more than furniture advertised as “ergonomically engineered.”
The evening was one of those soft Southern evenings that seem to arrive without making much fuss about it. The heat of the day was finally giving up, the trees along the fence line had turned almost black against the orange sky, and somewhere down in the hollow a bird was making the last argument of the day about whether it intended to go to sleep or keep everybody else awake until midnight.

We don’t need permission from Silicon Valley or Washington to start thinking for ourselves. The moment we stop outsourcing our minds is when we take back America!
Eight years ago in the summer of 2018, an automated monitoring system at the US government’s Social Security Agency flagged a questionable transaction and immediately forwarded it to a human worker at the agency to investigate.
WE are in a war. Man has been in that war since day one. Just studying history shows that there are people who want to make all the rules, who want to control what we eat, if we eat, what we believe, and even how long we get to exist on this mortal coil.
It’s early, even for me. I read the opening quote before falling asleep, and it stayed with me all night. The metaphor didn’t hit me until about 3 AM. So here I am. Rising from a fitful slumber with that quote echoing in my mind, and unsure where it could lead.
The most serious threat to American liberty today is not a single cabal but a convergence of three powerful institutions — the national-security bureaucracy, the global technology industry, and the administrative regulatory state — that together create a system of soft despotism that is far more durable than any elected official.
What’s the point in celebrating the Constitution one day a year if we permit the government to violate it the other 364?
Last month, Paul Sperry at Real Clear Investigations revealed that the “Fiqh Council of North America issued a legal ruling (fatwah) in coordination with the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America” that allowed Muslim charitable contributions or Zakat to be used for political donations.
Come what may over the next decade, should I be so fortunate to live so long, I won’t go quiet if things take a turn for the worse – Heaven Forbid – and our nation’s commies take all three branches of government into their destructive, filthy hands. I won’t back down.
The U.S. government has not only entered into a sinful alliance with the State of Israel; it has enthusiastically allowed itself to become an enslaved serf of the State of Israel in fighting a multitude of unjust wars. For all intents and purposes, when it comes to foreign policy, Benjamin Netanyahu is the President of the United States, no matter who sits in the Oval Office.
The Senate crawls back from recess on September 14. The marble hallways will fill up. The cameras will click. And the question hanging over the chamber is the same one America has been asking all summer: Where’s Mitch?
The first shots were fired in Ohio, although for several weeks afterward nobody could agree upon what they meant. There had been violence before, enough of it that Americans had grown accustomed to the vocabulary devised to make violence sound less frightening than it was. A shooting outside a courthouse became an “altercation.” An attack upon a federal facility became an “isolated incident.” A confrontation between opposing political demonstrations became a “disturbance.”
