America is broken ~ Badly!
Our enemies are starting wars in multiple regions of the world. Our friends can’t trust us. We are crippling our own capacity to to help ourselves. And our current government doesn’t acknowledge it.
But there is a much bigger indication that we are far from even being merely fine much less flourishing.
It is being exposed now but it has been brewing for a long while…
It showed its ugliest face last night in Brooklyn, NY, one of America’s oldest cities. It has shown itself on hundreds of college campuses for the last fourteen days.
America has entered a new dark period. Continue reading

I took a two-week break from the world, or at least tried to. It was no use. Regardless of where we were, man’s horrific intent and bad news encroached on our attempted serenity.
Where are all the airline owners and stockholders when we are told that we peons may make only one short-haul flight every 3 years?
An energy crisis spawned by a Middle East war 50 years ago spurred the U.S. to create a huge crude oil stockpile to shield the country from threats by unfriendly nations.
This commentary continues a theme I started in July, where I spin the titles and stories of Charles Dickens toward more contemporary circumstances. The second episode in the series was “Oliver’s Twist,” or “The Parish Boy’s Progress,” set in London’s seedy underworld; it is a story of poverty, corruption, and Oliver’s eventual reclamation. My observations correlate current political actors to the characters therein.
I sometimes wonder what it is about me that causes me to give a great deal of thought to some of the obscure ideas that simply pop into my head out of nowhere. Am I abnormal because my mind never seems to stop thinking; it latches onto something and won’t let it go until it has dissected it and examined it from every possible angle? While I understand the importance of being able to think critically, I just wish I could sometimes shut it all off so it does not keep me awake late into the early morning thinking about things it has latched onto.
On October 10, the majority Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee released a blockbuster report captioned “The Biden Border Crisis: New Data and Testimony Show How the Biden Administration Opened the Southwest Border and Abandoned Interior Enforcement”.

Twenty-seven attorneys general, led by Florida’s Ashley Moody, are demanding Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas “fix the problem you created” and close the catch-and-release loophole DHS is “currently exploiting to implement its mass release policy at the Southwest Border.”
If you’re like most parents, you want the best for your children, especially when it comes to education.
It is my right to be uncommon… if I can; I seek opportunity…not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.
America has entered some of the darkest and most dangerous times most of us have ever witnessed within our own lifetimes. Warnings are cried out from our people, those sane patriots among us, but everything seems to be broken, as we are led by monsters intent on destroying anything worth holding and guarding tightly, especially the freedoms and liberties of our people.
Bad news for those hoping the spate of recent headlines revealing how the corrosive consequences of leftist social policies are now blowing back upon those who have promulgated them might trigger meaningful change: progressive globalists are more than happy to sacrifice their own in pursuit of their larger destructive agenda. 
Sitting in a pew last summer, waiting for a small funeral service to start, I saw a young woman walk to the podium and begin to speak. To my surprise, she introduced herself as the minister who would be conducting the service, and then she began to lead those gathered to remember the departed through the songs, prayers, and eulogizing typical of funerals.
The attacks in Israel and demand for U.S. aid are injecting new urgency into recent talks among centrist House Republicans to attempt to reinstate Kevin McCarthy as House speaker, with scores of Republican lawmakers now discussing the effort.
