Yesterday was April 19th, and chances are many Americans had no idea the importance of that date. It was 245 years ago that American men, the Sons of Liberty, made a stand at Lexington Green and Concord Bridge. How troubling that here we are, 245 years later, and some elected officials are mandating that gun stores and gun ranges are non-essential. Yet, these same progressive socialist elected…

Let me be clear, we must have responses to threats that we face. However, if every time we face a threat we are told that there is a new normal, what does that end up meaning? We should be concerned about elected officials who make such statements as Rep. James Clyburn, that “this pandemic gives Democrats a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.” In combination with…

  COVID-19 has taken nearly more than 9,600 lives in our America and tens of thousands worldwide. In this time, we must find our strength not in man and his terms such as “flattening the curve.” We must come together and seek out God’s blessings for our overcoming -- and we have been through rough times previously.

  What has transpired over the past week has been a very interesting debate over a simple word, “essential.” Benjamin Franklin gave us the best means to understand the word “essential” in times of crisis. He stated, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” What is essential in these United States of America--…

Yes, I know, I will now be labeled a racist for using the term, “Wuhan Coronavirus.” Regardless, I have been reading, studying charts, graphs, and other analytical data until I am blue in the face. I think it is time for all of us to take a common sense, rational look at what is happening with this COVID-19 episode. And yes, we should ponder some very glaring hypocrisies that present…

If there is a vital lesson to be learned from confronting this scourge, this pestilence, it is resolve. Sir Winston Churchill once said, “Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.” And we all remember the words of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” In my years of service in the U.S. Army, I came to realize that we all do have fears, but we…

In the early hours of Sunday morning -- real early in California -- former Democrat presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Kamala Harris tweeted out a video endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden. I am sure there are those who are saying, so what. The “so what” is that this very calculated, of course political, move by Sen. Harris presents a very interesting discussion opportunity. I…

First, let’s admit that Bernie Sanders is the Frankenstein’s monster of socialism that got out of the laboratory and is now ravaging the countryside. It is one thing to talk about the failed economic model of socialism on college and university campuses, but to have it openly embraced as a viable political philosophy in America is another thing. Make no mistake, today’s Democrat Party is a…

Someone at Coca-Cola came up with a fancy idea on “improving” the Coke brand back in 1982. The result was the ensuing flop called New Coke.  What does that have to do with the American Left? Simple. Last week, we witnessed an apoplectic unhinged meltdown from the Democrats. This meltdown came because the so-called Democrat establishment is freaking out about the success of presidential…

How interesting that the left is all up in arms over LTC Vindman, yet they could not celebrate a 100-year-old Tuskegee Airman who flew combat missions in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. The left celebrates a deserter like Bowe Bergdahl yet criticizes the release of Army 1LT Clint Lorance who was imprisoned for six years because he killed the enemy in Afghanistan. The left embraces Bradley…
