Our nation stands under attack … not from without but from within. American values, our politics, and our culture have been corrupted.

In the opening paragraph of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, it wrote, “America is now divided between two opposing forces: woke revolutionaries and those who believe in the ideals of the American revolution,” What a perfect example of fake news. By taking on the mantle of American values and attacking their opponents as destroying those…

A recent article in the New York Times detailed how prevalent Christian prayer and Christian conservative perspective has become in the daily operations of the White House. Trump has elevated the Faith Office to high visibility. And that office has promised, “an ambitious agenda, including ending what it sees as Christian persecution in America and to…

Artistic culture has a role to play in society, historically. Whether it was art, plays (e.g. Shakespeare), or music, the function of art was to lift the souls or lighten the hearts not just of the well-to-do but also the common man. And so, until recent times, there were always a decent number of affordable…

Trump is all over the news. He has been aggressive, overwhelming. The Democrats have mostly been missing. It’s as though since they have no power in Congress to stop Trump and the Republicans, they don’t know what to do. They held their silly paddles up during Trump’s State of the Union speech, and they have…

It’s clear now that Trump’s goal is nothing less than the destruction of the Federal government, both regarding most of its functions and the balance of power set by the Constitution.

It’s no secret that for many ambitious people in our culture, it’s all about obtaining as much money and power as possible. And people do all sorts of unethical or questionable things in order to gain money and power. This is nothing new. But in any dictatorship, you have an added factor thrown in. You have a leader…

Donald Trump has set out on a course to radically reshape our government and our democracy. In doing so, he is and will be violating many laws, both those passed by Congress and those in the Constitution. With a compliant Congress, more than 100 suits have been filed in Federal court to stop what Trump is…

The Constitutional provision that grants the President the right to pardon individuals or commute their sentences includes no guidelines or limits upon its use. Historically, however, the pardon has been used mostly to show mercy (e.g. someone has already served many years for committing a crime and is now very ill) or to serve justice (e.g.…

I wrote a post on October 7, 2024 noting an analogy between the state of Germany and Germans in the 1920s that facilitated Hitler’s rise to power as well as Hitler’s propaganda tactics and that of the United States and Trump. There is another unfortunate analogy that must be pointed out. Hitler became all-powerful with the…

The New York Times and many other news outlets have just reported that Elon Musk spent over $250 million supporting Donald Trump’s campaign for president. The combined campaigns raised nearly $4.7 billion dollars. The amount of money is obscene. This is a natural and inevitable outgrowth of the 2010 Citizen’s United decision by the Supreme…
