Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand

If we are to find our way back to greatness, we must look back to our Founders. We have failed their blueprint for Liberty. They used the Bible for our foundations of Liberty in all aspects of life. They didn’t spiritualize Scripture, as do so many today. Most Americans believe in God, yet we have allowed the Godless, the miseducated and the deniers of history and science to spew ignorance and hatred for Goodness and Logic, to replace The Rock of Liberty, for the shifting sands of tyranny and bondage. Christians have hoodwinked themselves into being blind followers of the blind. ...

Don’t be downcast

Liberals and progressives, let’s not be downcast this holiday season. When we adopt a cause or commit to a noble mission, we should do so for the struggle itself; for we may not live to see the victory. At the age of 77, tottering toward sunset at a pace Nature decides, I’ll continue to confront injustice as best I can.

Here goes, it’s between what you know about the Roman empire and the U.S. Let’s refresh the Roman Empire. TV and the movies gave examples of the homes and life style of the living; and the Colosseum; if one had experienced of putting one’s body next to or inside, it’s huge. Make a comparison of your TV to the Colosseum. Probably you know of the gladiators and the Christians. Why did the gladiators become the army? How did they get there? ...

Asleep at the switch

Drones, drones and more drones and NO answers from the inert Biden Administration! Who’s Air Space are these drones invading and why does Biden let it continue? We have given Israel the Iron Dome Air Defense system and they routinely shoot down 50 to 100 drones daily at U.S. Taxpayer Expense! Why do we not have any way to shoot down 40 or 50 over New Jersey? The Biden administration opened wide our borders to Any and ALL so why is our air space any different? Recall recently, Biden allowed a large Chinese air balloon to loiter over our nuclear missile silos in the west for days so ...
