In 1913, Argentina was one of the wealthiest countries on Earth. Its GDP per capita rivaled that of Western Europe. The port of Buenos Aires bustled with international commerce. Immigrants flooded in from Italy and Spain, chasing the same promise that drew millions to US shores.
Then came the Peronists.
Juan Perón rose to power in the 1940s and built a political machine fueled by populist spending, nationalization, and currency manipulation. The country rotted – yet somehow the Peronists stayed in power for decades. Continue reading
I look around at the modern world, and I see a pattern – a deliberate, well-worn path that leads always in the same direction. The headlines change, the slogans are rebranded, the hashtags sway with the wind, but the destination never does. The left’s moral crusades, when stripped of their sentimental packaging, all spiral back to one central obsession: the deconstruction of God’s design for sexuality, family, and moral order.
There’s an old saying that when you point a finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you.
This is just a short little concise poem that shouldn’t require any real explanation for the average reader, I should think – that is – if they have been paying the slightest bit of attention over the past couple of decades. I always used to write with the assumption that my average reader would be somewhat intelligent enough to not require every little assertion of statement followed by paragraphs of proof, but as the years passed, well… You already know where I’m going with this.
I’m guessing that many of you have heard the saying, Thinking outside the box. For those that haven’t, what it basically means is: to explore ideas that are creative and unusual and that are not limited or controlled by rules or tradition. Those who think outside the box are not limited to, or confined by, traditional thoughts and beliefs. What I find ironic about thinking outside the box is the fact that those who are able to do it effortlessly are often praised and admired; except when it comes to politics and government. I am of the firm belief that the biggest obstacle that prevents us from solving the problems we face as a nation is our refusal to think outside the box. 
Socialism spreads like a plague. Too many countries eagerly bite on the lure of ‘free stuff.’ When people vote for socialism, freedom is quickly stripped away by permanent strongmen dictators. Trump wants to reverse this trend.
In a stunning turn of events, President Donald Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to “be a little flexible” on the Hyde Amendment which has been the bedrock protection that has shielded American taxpayers from funding the slaughter of innocent unborn children for nearly half a century. Speaking at a House Republican retreat on January 6, 2026, at the Kennedy Center, Trump casually suggested compromising this non-negotiable principle to push through healthcare legislation amid negotiations over ACA subsidies and rising premiums. 
We fund the largest government in human history, yet for decades we’ve been told – by both parties – that competence must be rationed. One administration handles domestic policy while foreign policy implodes. The next plays global chess while Americans drown in inflation, crime, and bureaucratic neglect. We’re expected to applaud “progress” in one column while the other bleeds red ink and failure.
Being the holiday season with Christmas and the New Year are behind us and we naturally find ourselves – though perhaps not everyone – reminiscing and remembering a few of the multitude of frauds and deceptions the Left has gifted us these last few decades.
So many of us are deeply troubled by the direction we find America following these days, and while all we want is to live free and peaceful lives, at every turn in the road, it appears that Big Government and its Big Brother agents have become ever more motivated to ensure that we can’t, as they add to our to our troubles unnecessarily so, each and every day in the name of our general well being and security – trampling and eroding our freedom and liberty every step of the way. 
Each new year brings a flurry of promised changes, usually in the form of personal commitments to modify behaviors we’ve recognized. In an attempt to stay relevant, we promise to change our ways or improve in some areas. I gave up on that crap long ago.
The Mark of Zorro (1940) — directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring Tyrone Power, Basil Rathbone, and Linda Darnell — stands as one of Hollywood’s most enduring classics. The film truly shines, with its charismatic cast, sharp dialogue, beautiful cinematography, blending romance and witty one-liners with cinema’s best sword fight.
If you are having a really difficult time keeping up with the rapidly rising cost of living, you are certainly not alone. This year, “affordability” was a buzzword that was constantly on the lips of politicians, economists and talking heads on television. As you will see below, Americans are being slammed by rising prices from a multitude of directions. Meanwhile, “layoffs” has been another buzzword that has been widely used in 2025. Thanks to the rise of AI and our steadily deteriorating economy, we have seen far more mass layoffs this year than we did last year. Unfortunately, one survey has found that executives are gearing up for an even larger round in 2026.
Self‑examination is a deeply Christian discipline. It requires humility, honesty, and the willingness to confront one’s own failures; traits that historically lead to repentance and course correction. But the modern hard‑left, and the Democratic Party increasingly shaped by it, appears fundamentally incapable of such introspection. To look inward would be to unravel the very foundations of what they have built.
