Freedom from Tyranny

By | April 11, 2023

[April 11, 2023]  From the Old Testament of the Bible, we learn of the Israelites who broke away from Egyptian tyranny.  The story is legendary and includes such miracles as the parting of the Red Sea and the destruction of the Pharaoh’s chariots and army.  I’m very compelled by this story today because there is much more to… Read More »

[April 10, 2023]   They called him “Baghdad Bob Kirby.”  White House Coordinator for Strategic Comms John Kirby publically announced last week that then-President Trump is to blame for the recent failed U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan (see it here).  There is an old U.S. military axiom: once you take command, you are in charge and fully responsible from… Read More »

The Face of Ultimate Betrayal

By | April 5, 2023

[April 5, 2023]   Betrayal is an evil more profound than any human behavior we can imagine.  In Dante’s Inferno, sins like torture, murder, and rape were not at the bottom of the pit (nine circles of hell); it was betrayal.  The ultimate betrayal is the subject of my article today. On March 13, 1973, U.S. Air Force Lieutenant… Read More »
