Snowden the Movie: A Review

By now, you’ve probably heard about Edward Snowden, the C.I.A. analyst turned classified-document dumping whistle-blower who now lives his life in Russia because he fears arrest by his own government – for exposing the illegal activities of said government. Perhaps you have watched Laura Poitras’s Oscar-winning documentary, “Citizenfour,” filmed largely in the Hotel Mira back […]

World War III – A Scenario Worth Reviewing

Tensions are high around the world. Some believe that the world’s superpowers are about to collide in a massive world war. Others envision a war with China or Russia in a one-on-one scenario. Either way, most know that something big is about to occur. Unfortunately, this might be sooner rather than later. The truth is that […]

The Bill of Rights – Consider This

So let us explore some of our most precious Rights here in the United States. We can do that by simply examining the Bill of Rights. Amendment  I—Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the […]

Is Honor Dead in America?

Are honor, respect, and integrity dead? This post may come across as negative but understand that I would like to jolt you into self-reflection and personal action. I guess we’ll see how this goes. It should come as little shock that the world no longer respects the United States. It could be argued that perhaps […]

Founding Father’s Day

It’s Father’s Day. What did you get him? Another tie? Wouldn’t it be great if we celebrated our fathers every day? Wouldn’t it be great if we showed dad that we loved him and appreciated him more than just once a year or instead of only on special holidays? I sure do. That’s why I let […]

Glimpse the Future

Glimpse the future. It is now 2016, and you might have heard by now that we are beginning to (or will soon) enter the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” If you haven’t heard this, then now you’re in the know. It is underway, and the world is very excited about it. You need to understand that this […]

The REAL Southern Poverty Law Center

The Southern Poverty Law Center issues an annual list of what they believe to be anti-government and extremist groups across the United States. But before we address the list itself, let us ask ourselves, “what is the SPLC exactly?” They coin themselves as an American legal advocacy organization for civil rights causes. And according to […]

Redistribution & Socialism – Consider This

Redistribution and socialist ideas seem to be gaining popularity lately. Much of this could be blamed on poor education, especially regarding history. But ponder this: “is it ethical or not… to take something from someone and give it to another?“ In order to address this in the manner most logical, one must remove the emotional side […]

The Timeline of Colonial Resistance

It has come to my attention that quite a few have forgotten the timelines regarding American history – at least in regard to colonial resistance. There are also some forgotten steps regarding why the colonists were so angry. I want to convey to you today that there was a build-up of anger that spanned roughly […]

Did Hillary Break the Law?

I have suggested that Hillary Clinton may have committed a felony (or more). However, I have been asked for a specific law or citation to back up this assumption. I am happy to do so. The following comes from the United States Department of Justice – 1663. Protection Of Government Property — Protection Of Public […]
