The talk about whether the United States could prevail in a two-front war—against Russia in the European theater to defend Ukraine and against China in the Pacific theater to defend Taiwan—has suddenly been eclipsed.
When crises come—whether a pandemic or war—most people become fixated on the immediate events and fail to connect the dots that provide a context for how those events may fit together in a deep state or globalist agenda.
Just a few generations ago, most Americans understood that George Orwell’s classics Animal Farm and 1984 were written as a warning about how freedom is lost to the tyranny and intolerance of totalitarianism.
It’s not easy for elites in the public and private sector in America—who live in luxury and are removed from majority of the people—to acknowledge their failures and wayward priorities. But that awareness can be driven by the people, who can more easily recognize that acknowledging failure and the need for God are the keys and cornerstone to spiritual revival, which will in turn open the way for America’s recovery and renewal.
Seen from the big picture, Columbus Day is worth keeping and honoring because it was foundational to founding a new nation by people who largely shared the core beliefs and the qualities of character that were also exhibited by Columbus.
Why should Americans oppose the decision of the now disbanded “Congressional Naming Commission” to remove from Arlington Cemetery the Moses Ezekiel Reconciliation Monument—one of the greatest works of art in that hallowed ground?
With Constitution Day coming up on September 17th, it’s the right time to get reacquainted with the Judeo-Christian foundation and structural basics of the Constitution that were intended for the sole purpose of good governance.
For most people, Labor Day is a rather vague holiday without the clarity and meaning typically associated with other holidays. Yet in its most complete context, Labor Day should be recognized as the holiday that celebrates not only labor, but also the ideas, job creators, and institutions central to the flourishing of the United States and its people.
Our nation's Framers of the Constitution recognized that corrupting influences from foreign powers was a very real threat. They were especially concerned about the possibility of an American president becoming corruptible.
The real judge and jury adjudication on Donald Trump should not be made in biased courts by politically driven prosecutions, but by voting citizens who are fully capable of assessing comparative results.
A troubling question for so many today is "how did the United States, the most successful and advanced nation in history, fall into the current state of decline so rapidly?"
Reflecting in the aftermath of July 4th reminds us that the craziness sweeping the country is fundamentally out of national character and goes way beyond politics and endless election cycle madness.
Let’s make this July Fourth a day of celebration of our founding ideals and a time of renewed commitment to engage and wake up our nation.

We know it’s time to resist creeping tyranny and reclaim precious possessions — our freedoms and rights. It’s time to become active in the patriot cause, knowing that — just as the sun comes up in the east — persistence, courage, and the truth of our cause are the shield and sword that assure victory.
