    Who Was Christopher Columbus?

    Cliff Notes: Columbus is not as bad as folks make him out to be. The monster they put together is a composite picture of the worst crimes committed in his day.

    Who Was Christopher Columbus?

    The You Tuber Knowing Better had a great video on Columbus. The dude is Left of Center, but he tries to tell it like it is and I appreciate that.

    Favorite movies?

    I was raised on old films. Arsenic and Old Lace is my favorite. Almost anything done by Hitchcock when the kiddo is older. Some of his older movies are more kid-friendly. Judging by her tastes, she'll probably enjoy Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Annie Get Your Gun, and Yankee Doodle...

    How Do You Respond?

    I like to go to a local brew pub. It serves my favorite pale ale in a hundred-mile radius. They also offer microwaved pizzas and easy mac prepared on a hot plate. The mammogram is the Planned Parenthood equivalent of Easy Mac. Yes, they provide the service, but it isn't the reason why their...

    Will Trump Be Impeached? If not, will all of this hurt his Chances for Reelection?

    He won't be impeached. He will likely be reelected. For the same reason Obama was not impeached and reelected. Almost every President since Taft would have been impeached if Americans valued the rule of law more than they feared foreign and domestic boogiemen. But the goalposts have...

    Brexit - Politicians behaving badly.

    I think that's what they call diving in hockey.

    Brexit - Politicians behaving badly.

    Pleased to make your online acquaintance, Mr. Chesterton. I have enjoyed your work for some time now. :ROFL::LOL:

    9/11 Remembered

    Hard to believe it's been 18 years. It shattered many childhood illusions.

    Brexit - Politicians behaving badly.

    I hope to God it doesn't come to that. It sounds so French.

    Pastor and mental health advocate dies by suicide 😥

    I don't know about that. The doctrine on suicide is a pretty deep grey area. There are some very great and holy people who believe suicide is a sign of being unregenerate. To be clear, I'm not one of those people and I don't doubt pride influences some in reaching these conclusions.

    Pastor and mental health advocate dies by suicide 😥

    Ah. I see. This is why I try to avoid comment sections. Especially on You Tube. CBN on video games. Hahahaha. I can only imagine.

    Online petition to change the date of Halloween.

    Haha. Funny how people work. I'm inclined to defend the date because it is a tradition. It's messy. It's imperfect. But it's an old practice.

    Pastor and mental health advocate dies by suicide 😥

    Man, CBN has taken quite a turn in the last few years. Back when I watched them, it was all feel-good healing stories, failed prophecies, and celebrity conversion. Now they are saying cowards are first in line for Hell? Weird. It's been 15 years though. Give or take.

    Abortion To Solve Climate Change

    Reminds me of that joke in A Tale of Two Cities. Madame Guillotine- the cure for the common head cold.

    Pastor and mental health advocate dies by suicide 😥

    Yet another sad reminder of how American suicide rates have spiked in the last couple of decades. The disturbing thing here is that Wilson had everything people say prevents suicide- faith, a calling, a wife, two children, a loving family, a home, a community, the necessities. There is...

    Brexit - Politicians behaving badly.

    I paid a visit to Britain back in December/January. I could not believe how confused and chaotic the discourse has become in your fair country. Really, all the newspaper editors should be prescribed Ritalin to keep them centered. This is just a wandering Yank's observation, but I think Brexit...

    Christian Politicians

    Exhibit A would be Edmund Burke's tragic loss in Bristol. This prince among statesmen was rejected by his constituents because he placed Christian conscience on a higher level than immediate commercial interests. As Exhibit B, I submit that even America's more deistic founders would, on...

    Walmart to stop selling some kinds of ammunition

    I knew the gravy train of cheap practice ammo wouldn't last forever. Wal-Mart is, regrettably, one of those corporations big enough to feel the weight of obligations imposed on them by the general government and elite culture. This will not change without some sort of revival. Organizations...

    Who is voting for Trump again?

    If all drugs are bad, why did Paul say wine is good for the stomach? Sounds like a bit of drug use.

    Who is voting for Trump again?

    In what way has Trump denied the need for alliances? I understand he's criticized NATO, but ultimately used it as leverage to get other countries to contribute more to the system. Sounds an awful lot like strengthening the alliance to me. Not to mention acknowledging it's an alliance instead of...
