I joined the military at 18. I was not particularly good at taking orders, and I discovered doing things my own way was not tolerated. The military is not accommodating to individual preferences, certainly not to teenagers like me who think they know more than they actually do. I never received a good conduct medal,Continue reading “What is an Illegal Order?”

Good vs. Evil Redux
I wrote in my prior post: good has already won the spiritual battle (which-team-do-you-choose); however, good and evil still compete for our allegiance in this world; there is a continual battle for our souls. Nations make choices as well: promote godly values or the material world’s values and its immediate rewards. Political parties tooContinue reading “Good vs. Evil Redux”
Which Team do You Choose?
Evil has already been defeated; good has already won. God’s side cannot possibly lose, but still evil attracts many to its side. If everyone were given the opportunity to choose sides–good or evil–like is done in a schoolyard or neighborhood pickup game–and if before choosing we already knew which team was certain to win–some wouldContinue reading “Which Team do You Choose?”
Revealing What We Already Knew
President Joe Biden’s doctor testified to Congress on July 9. He refused to tell anything, asserting his Fifth Amendment privileges before being sworn in, before any substantive questions: https://apnews.com/article/biden-doctor-kevin-oconnor-testimony-5c2a75c6bec319bb4ff8a417993e3d6c David Schertler, one of O’Connor’s lawyers, said the doctor had “no choice” but to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in testimony before the committee. Schertler citedContinue reading “Revealing What We Already Knew”
Reconsidering the Epstein Story
Conspiracy theories regarding JFK’s assassination sixty-two years ago still abound. My father’s grandmother recounted to him conspiracy theories regarding Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, seventy-five years after his death https://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/the-lincoln-assassination-conspiracies. Similarly, we have traveled too far down the rabbit hole to develop a consensus regarding Jeffrey Epstein. But what if the truth is not what we expected?Continue reading “Reconsidering the Epstein Story”
The COVID Vaccine’s Still Suspect Record
Six years after the COVID pandemic and five after the mRNA COVID vaccine, questions still abound regarding the vaccine’s safety and efficacy. President Trump said it saved millions of lives, but in May his health care team significantly scaled back vaccine distribution. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/fda-plans-limit-covid-shots-65-high-risk/story?id=122030887 In a major policy change, the Food and Drug Administration has announcedContinue reading “The COVID Vaccine’s Still Suspect Record”
Injunction Junction: What’s Your Function?
The Supreme Court established the principle of judicial review more than 200 years ago (via Marbury vs. Madison, 1803). This previously undiscovered principle expanded the power of the Judicial Branch dramatically, arguably beyond what was originally intended. The Supreme Court retained this power thereafter. Then about sixty years ago, the judiciary’s power expanded further asContinue reading “Injunction Junction: What’s Your Function?”
Which Way Now?
The selection of a new pope matters to those of all faiths, not just Catholics. Many non-Catholic friends and acquaintances have commented on this latest selection. They want to know what we Catholics think of this new pope. Few religious leaders today are recognized or heard by Americans, but the pope remains in a differentContinue reading “Which Way Now?”
Christian and American
“Christian Nationalist” has become a pejorative term. Many Christians are patriotic and believe American values overlap with Christian values. Combine these two terms and liberals claim we have recreated Frankenstein’s monster. Preface “Christian Nationalist” with “White” and many become doubly alarmed. There should be no stigma attached to either term; however, a liberal ideology hasContinue reading “Christian and American”
Judges Gone Wild
Roughly 4,000 illegal immigrants have been deported weekly during the second Trump Administration. The vast majority of deportations have been non-controversial; however, a DC District Court judge started a controversy by attempting to turn around a flight of illegal immigrants associated with a Venezuelan criminal gang being deported by the administration. timeline-us-flight-to-el-salvador 5:45PM: A flight (GlobalXContinue reading “Judges Gone Wild”
