[June 26, 2022] You are molded and shaped by culture, and as a consequence, you are a historical creature. But culture is corrupt, oppressive, and tyrannical.

[June 25, 2022] If you go into the world of the strange, start a unique endeavor, accept a new job, attend a university or have a new relationship, you are in unknown, unexplored territory.

[June 24, 2022] Cain and Abel are brothers and are, hypothetically, the first two real human beings (since they were born, unlike their parents, Adam and Eve, who God created).

[June 23, 2022] Occasionally, a good video comes along that hits home. This one, “When Does Human Life Begin?” is a biological look at the idea of life (click here).

Pro-abortion arguments parallel closely the historical… Read More »
[June 22, 2022] My mother used to tell me to learn all I could about history because “its value far exceeds its fun factor.” That was her way of acknowledging that the topic of history was probably boring to a child but its importance to me as a man was high. My first recollection of this came up… Read More »

It’s difficult because you have to find people who can tell you what to read and how to write to formulate your thoughts more precisely. The world is full of ideologues and puppet masters (pulling the strings of many), and they are happy to misdirect and obscure… Read More »
[June 20, 2022] Here’s a realistic perspective on life. Life is difficult, and you cannot protect your children. What you can do is prepare them to be strong, courageous, truthful, and resilient in their interaction with other people.

[June 19, 2022] Fathers and father figures in our lives have shown us that authentic masculinity means being a strong and uncompromising protector. They have shown us by their words and actions the value of respecting loved ones, defending truth and justice, and life itself. Fathers are often the forgotten champions of the American family, yet none would… Read More »
[June 18, 2022] The piano is a beautiful, complex, highly artistically useful instrument. Some of the greatest songs of civilization are played on it, pushing our imaginations to new heights as its music touches on something ancestral in the deep recesses of our minds. We are all free to play the piano and create these melodies, but we… Read More »
[June 17, 2022] I have another book signing this weekend. A local store, One Nation 1776, located in Historic Smithville Village, will be hosting the event Saturday and Sunday, Noon to 4 pm.
