I think it’s safe to say that every holiday season is tinged with a touch of sadness – for everyone who celebrates the holiday. We are missing people from our presence, and others from our lives. We yearn for relationships that are either broken, or strained, or completely ended. So we feel sorry for ourselves, […]
In December, 2019, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam signed legislation he had spent a year promoting – the most radical gun-control laws in the nation – including universal background checks, extreme red-flag laws, and a demand that every gun the State defines as an “assault weapon” must be turned in, or the State will confiscate them.

“How many articles are there in the Bill of Rights?” Everybody knows the answer to that, right? (Actually, they don’t. Just ask them.) There are ten. But does anyone know that there were two amendments that did not pass? When the Bill of Rights was presented to the States to ratify, in 1789, there were […]

According to Gallup, 54% of the American people think “the United Nations is doing a poor job,” while only 38% approve, or think it’s doing a good job. The only thing that could make the approval rating that high must be total ignorance! But then again, as we all know, ignorance in the public sector […]
There are very few exceptions to the fact that the soldier is a pawn in a deadly game. He never joins with a view in mind of dying – he figures that happens to someone else. The winners write the history books, so as long as we are winning, and those who died are heroes […]
Amidst all the hoopla of presidential debates and primaries and polls, the minor parties, the several “third parties” are lost in the dust. We seem irrelevant.
