I have been spending time with the philosophy and economics of Marxism/Socialism/Communism, as well as the writings of mid-20th century dissidents who endured and resisted the evil they lived under. I have known, since reading Marx in the 90s, that it is a hard-core atheistic philosophy, and that it gets everything about the human experience... Continue Reading →
This afternoon, the U.S. House passed the “The Equality Act”. This bill is the most extreme challenge to the basic assumptions of our culture, our moral structure, and to the rights that so many have labored for so long to secure. There is a plethora of very good articles detailing the manifold ways in which... Continue Reading →
As President Biden lines up his nominees, there are individuals in the que who give us a glimpse into the worldview of the new administration.

One such example comes in the form of a bill introduced to Congress by (then) Senator Kamala Harris, which is now back on the table, dubbed the Do... Continue Reading →
There is still hope in Christ, and in the Christian church as it faithfully follows Christ. It is true that Christianity is about the love and grace of Christ, but it is too often overlooked by many that Christianity is a faith of knowledge, truth, and reason. Protests are, more often than not, an expression... Continue Reading →
I really thought I would get a lot more reading done in 2020. Afterall, I, along with billions of my closest friends, was confined to my home for weeks. It turns out, however, that lockdown time is not the same thing as down time. Nevertheless, I managed to get through a lot of books, including... Continue Reading →
