Have you ever wondered how we got into the mess we’re in, how Minneapolis became so ungovernable, how anarchy replaced civility and how rioting replaced the rule of law?

Have you ever asked yourself how this societal meltdown happened and how so many people have come to hate American culture, values and heritage so much that they would rather tear it all down than work together to preserve it?

Have you ever wondered how we became the “divided states” rather than the “United States” and how e pluribus unum (out of many, one) became “us against them” almost overnight?… Continue Reading

When leftist protesters stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, during a Sunday service on Jan. 19, they chanted and screamed. Some of them told the frightened children that their parents were Nazis. Others blocked parents from reaching their children to remove them from the chaos.

Former CNN newsman Don Lemon, who claimed to have been an observer, insisted that the mob — and he — had a First Amendment right to disrupt the service.… Continue Reading

As the world of “public” broadcasting faces the rebuke of Congress rescinding its billions of dollars, it spurs a broader thought about the arrogance of liberal journalists at national media outlets. They’re not simply arrogant. They sound remarkably insincere.

Start with a man named Michael Tribble, the chief content officer at WAMU, the NPR station in the nation’s capital. He sent out a fundraising email after the U.S. Senate rebuke, oozing to their liberal supporters: “You’re part of a community that believes facts matter, that context matters, and that journalism has the power to bring us closer together.”… Continue Reading

In 2020, a lot of people went for Joe Biden because they wanted a return to normal life.

A vote for the Democrat, it was said, would be a way to “turn down the heat” and calm a nation riven by the deadly Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the media and deep state’s nonstop circus surrounding then-President Donald Trump.

“History, faith and reason show the way,” President Biden said in his inaugural address on Jan.… Continue Reading

It’s 2024, and we are living in schizophrenic times. Dickensian times: the best of times, yet the worst; times where we demand the truth while reveling in our lies; times of great material gain but of even greater moral loss; times of calling good evil and evil good; times of saying bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter; times of the “tolerant” not tolerating what they find intolerable.

These are times when Jews are shamed and shunned by those who claim to stand against ghettos, gulags and racism.… Continue Reading

What plagues or torments you? Family? Economy? Uncertainty? Crime and chaos in the streets? Political conditions?

When considering why they’re most tormented, most people think in these general terms. Rarely do we consider going beyond the “general” to delve into the depths of the essential criteria; the foundations of our eternal being; the condition of our immortal soul and its relative torment.

We live in a fallen world. In this world, we are all tormented at some level.… Continue Reading

When I occasionally complain about the left politicizing race, fellow conservatives often say to me, “Don’t worry about this. They’ve lost all credibility on the issue, trivializing it by overuse. They’re getting no traction with it.” Oh?

You’d have to be blind and deaf to deny that this tactic is working for the left politically and that it has caused great harm. Democrats and the left bring up race every five minutes to demonize Republicans and profit politically.… Continue Reading

As we survey our rotting cultural and political landscape, it is tempting, from a worldly perspective, to lose hope for our way of life and our nation. As Christians, we have a greater Hope, one that transcends these worldly problems.

We must always train our focus on Jesus Christ, especially during this holiest of weeks, but let’s not in the meantime abandon our earthly duties — our responsibilities to family, friends, country and values.… Continue Reading

It’s “1984,” and we are living in schizophrenic times. Orwellian times. The best of times, but yet the worst.

Times where we demand the truth while reveling in our lies. Times of great material gain but even greater moral loss. Times of calling good evil and evil good; bitter sweet and sweet bitter. Times of the “tolerant” not tolerating what they find intolerable.

These are times of significant technological advancement and, yet, shocking mental decline.… Continue Reading

For the past year, parents and students across the county, mostly in Democrat-run municipalities, have been experiencing excessive levels of stress due to unending school closures. Red states like Florida, Texas, and South Dakota have been open for months. Meanwhile, the teacher’s unions have a stranglehold on the public schools in Democrat states, refusing to open for a litany of absurd reasons.

Part of me sympathizes with the conservative parents who are struggling to cope with working from home and the online curriculum management of their children.… Continue Reading

We are awash in so many media lies that I thought it might be useful to list a few for easy reference, in no particular order.

No. 1. The Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6 was an “armed insurrection” in which five people were killed, including a U.S. Capitol officer hit by a fire extinguisher in the head. Reality: The rioters had no firearms or even knives. Two of the five died from a stroke and heart attack.… Continue Reading

The Chinese COVID-19 lockdown has cost tens of millions of Americans their jobs, but one group is doing quite well, thank you.

That would be race hustlers, who have been thriving since George Floyd’s shocking death in police custody in late May and the protests and riots that followed.

The race hustlers have struck it rich thanks to their counterparts in the streets who are looting, burning, and shooting people. That sends chills up corporate spines.… Continue Reading

Lately it seems that we conservatives can’t win even when we’re winning. But the country is under siege, so we cannot indulge the luxury of being discouraged.

This year has been one body blow after another to the nation we love. First, there was the coronavirus, and we thought, “How can this get any worse?” Then came the economic shutdown and the incalculable pain and suffering it brought. Next were the riots, the radicals’ unopposed seizure of a section of Seattle and the maniacal efforts throughout the country to defund the police.… Continue Reading
