The Defend Freedom Tour

Patrick Henry once said, “The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.” And for me, those special qualities have always been epitomized in our courageous men and women in uniform. I have written countless times on the need to support and serve our nation’s heroes […]

 




Church Gets the Boot by County Government

My wife, Gena, and I discovered this past week that in her small mountain hometown in Plumas County, California, our pastor’s church was kicked out of the county building it had been renting for Sunday church services. What’s disgusting is that the eviction is engulfed in political moves to stop the church from meeting there. […]

 


The Rest Of The ‘Unbroken’ Story

On Dec. 25, the unforgettable story about Louis Zamperini, an Olympian turned World War II prisoner of war hero, opens in theaters nationwide. As astoundingly resilient as Zamperini was, however, his real power was found in a fact underplayed in the movie; namely, he whose birth we celebrate Dec. 25 is the one responsible for […]

 

Masters of Deceptive Persuasion

Democrats are the masters of deceptive persuasion, meaning they will take our attention off something they have really screwed up and put it on something that’s not quite so bad. And chief among those masters is he who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C. For example, let’s look at the bumbling idiot Jonathan […]

 

11 Law Enforcement Officers Killed

While many in the nation, from Oakland to New York, rally in protest over the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, I keep wondering: What about the good cops? As with our military personnel, we are often quick to hang the allegedly corrupt but slow to honor those who serve honestly to protect. According […]

 

Miller’s Model: A Solution for Ferguson

  For days, nearly every news media outlet has been consumed with the Ferguson fallout. From coast to coast, pundits and populations have been debating the efficacy of justice and demonstrations. But maybe a true solution for Ferguson — and every other social skirmish like it — can only be found in changing the narrative. […]

 

Neutering Religious Holidays

Folks, our country is heading down a slippery slope. We have to stop it before it is too late. We haven’t even hit Thanksgiving, and already the war on Christmas is underway. This time, one of the largest public school systems in the U.S. is eliminating every mention of religious holidays on its official calendar. […]

 

My Veterans Day Test

With Veterans Day being Nov. 11, patriots everywhere feel a sense of pride as we again honor all who have served our country. But can you pass my Veterans Day test? Do you know these facts about Veterans Day? According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau statistics: –There are 19.6 million veterans in the U.S. […]

 

8 Founders Advise How to Vote

Vice President Joe Biden was exactly right when he said as he campaigned in Iowa on Oct. 27, “Folks, this election is even more important than the two elections you elected Barack and me.” With President Obama’s approval rating tanking to 38 percent in September, I can understand why Biden is shaking in his boots. […]

 

California Forces Churches to Fund Abortions

First, the mayor of Houston flagrantly violated clergy’s First Amendment rights, when she subpoenaed sermons, and she still refuses to rescind her mandate. And now California government officials are forcing churches and other faith-based organizations to fund abortions. What’s next? Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), the California Department of Managed Health Care […]

 

Houston, We Have a (1st Amendment) Problem!

It all started in September, when Houston Mayor Annise Parker and City Attorney David Feldman issued an “overly broad” subpoena for the sermons of select ministers who opposed the city’s equal rights ordinance. Because of intense national opposition from even Texas’ attorney general, this past Wednesday, Parker and Feldman appeared to recant or at least […]

 

Even Libs Say No to Hillary in 2016

Last week, Hillary Clinton returned to Iowa for the first time since her 2008 presidential campaign loss, saying, “I’m back.” She continued: “It’s true. I’ve been thinking about it,” referring to another run in 2016. But the truth is that even many of her esteemed liberal cronies think it’s a bad idea. I know that […]

 

America at the Tipping Point (Part 3)

The CIA reported this past Thursday that the number of Islamic State fighters is actually three times what previous government estimates were, according to Fox News. A spokesperson for the intelligence agency explained that the radical Islamic group boasts between 20,000 and 31,500 fighters across Iraq and Syria. Those numbers fly in the face of […]

 

America at the Tipping Point (Part 2)

We said on 9/11 that we’d “never forget.” But when our president has a no-strategy strategy for stopping Islamic extremists, isn’t Washington sidestepping our commitment of remembrance, in addition to its duty to protect our land and liberties? Indeed, Washington mocks those who gave their lives on that day that changed America by the fact […]

 

America at the Tipping Point (Part 1)

Is history going to repeat itself? I recently read the book “The Miracle of Freedom: 7 Tipping Points That Saved the World,” by Chris Stewart and Ted Stewart. The Stewarts describe how radical Islam came within a hair’s breadth of taking over the world. As I read that chapter and reflected upon my recent columns […]

 





Lambs to the GMO Slaughter

American diets are being bombarded with genetically modified foods. Big seed companies initiate it. Big government enables it. Big food business loves it. But Americans are the ones paying the price through their pocketbook and especially their health. And worst of all, as the old song goes, it may be “killing you softly.” For those […]

 

What America Needs Now

Forty-five years ago, there was a day like few others that rallied Americans and changed America forever. Yet I could find but one or two news stories about that momentous occasion and triumph. Do you remember what it was? It’s the type of event that America needs now, maybe more than ever before. If you’re […]

 

Charles (Chuck) Norris Had the Answers

I discovered someone this week who embodied the practices that I believe would restore our republic to its former heights of glory. He’s not a politician — no surprise there. He’s not a television pundit. He hasn’t written a book. He’s not a household name. He wasn’t a war hero, but he did serve in […]

 

Declaration Of Arms Before Independence

Most everyone knows about America’s 1776 Declaration of Independence. But did you know that on July 6 a year earlier, Congress initiated a Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms? It’s true. According to History, on July 6, 1775, just a day after our Founding Fathers issued their Olive Branch Petition to […]
