In part 1, I described America as having a moral sickness. This disease is highly evident in the $2 trillion “recovery” package Congress just passed on Friday. Forget the fact that only $300 billion of the unfathomable price tag is for the “economic rescue plan” which will throw Monopoly money at lower-income American households. United …
The year is 2023. North Carolina is the 11th state to officially separate ties with the federal government of the United States of America. President Elizabeth Warren’s response to this perceived insurrection is similar to her previous 10 reactions: meaningless threats of economic sanctions and withholding of federal money from empty federal coffers. Turns out …
“With ignorance virtually institutionalized, how can we get man to see? Bewildered by his curious alienation from reality, he is unable to prescribe for himself, for he imagines that what he needs is more of the disease.”— Richard Weaver The coronavirus is getting people to see that Americanism is incompatible with reality. The nation-state suffers …
“In our secular society, school has become the replacement for church, and like church, it requires that its teachings must be taken on faith.”― John Taylor Gatto As of today, North Carolina schools will be closed for at least the next two weeks due to coronavirus concerns, per order from Gov. Roy Cooper. You heard that …
David Brooks’ newest for The Atlantic Monthly, “The Nuclear Family Was a Mistake,” has been making the rounds on social media. My initial comment was: “David Brooks pushing subversion? I’m shocked.” I was assured by a couple smart folks that the headline was “clickbait,” the article was “good,” and that Brooks wasn’t “pushing anything.” Reading …
Sadly, one might think that the big gun-rights rally in Richmond wasn’t about guns at all. From what I can gather, seems like the only idea anyone (including many of the pro-2A activists themselves) was interested in perpetuating was the alleged “diverse” makeup of the crowd. It’s as if only black folks were at the …
I once read a travel writer describe Ireland as “mystical and modern, beautiful yet bleak, proud and vulnerable, peaceful yet divided, rich in talent but poor in resources, foreign and friendly.” I think Richmond, Virginia, is such a paradox. I’m a native Richmonder and have a love-hate relationship with my home of 24 years. Richmond …
My husband left for Richmond this afternoon. Armed with only his new St. Tikhon’s Seminary prayer book, his prayer rope, a recent confession with our priest, and the Eucharist from Diving Liturgy this morning, he’s ready to attend Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) Lobby Day tomorrow. Even though he has a North Carolina conceal-carry permit, …
Just before Christmas, Christianity Today published an article entitled “Trump Should Be Removed From Office.” It was written by editor Mark Galli, who said the facts surrounding the case are “unambiguous” and that the president’s alleged quid pro quo with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky was “not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it …
In addition to courting “Hispanic Americans” (as described in my last post Open-borders “Bumper”), Jacob Hornberger is also targeting black voters in his bid for the Libertarian Party nomination for president. The diversity force is strong with this one. It’s a black thing Hornberger says the Drug War is “racially bigoted” and that he will …
