In an unprecedented move against religious organizations’ ability to file for tax exemption in the United States, the IRS has decided to block Christians’ right to this benefit.  From a report by the CBN (Christian Broadcast News), Christians Engaged, a Texas based non profit organization created in July of 2019, has been unjustifiably blocked by the IRS from having the same tax exemption that similar organizations have shared throughout recent history.

The left that gave us the destructive idiocy of “political correctness” and “identity politics” has more recently been joined by “wokeness” as the latest labeled obscenity of the political cancelation movement. Apparently, political correctness, identity politics and wokeness have taken over the Board of Education in Randolph, New Jersey.  The members of the Board – who should represent the interests of parents and students – unanimously voted to cancel holidays and remove their names from the school calendar. Of course, this caused an outrage among the parents and children. Instead,…

As rights are not granted by the state, an entity that derives its powers from the consent of the governed, the people have the ultimate power to alter or abolish a government that infringes upon the rights of the individual. Once thought unimaginable to modern Americans, the idea of a state or geographical region departing from our federation is now commonly discussed. “America’s growing political divide,” a collection of words uttered endlessly in all forms of media to describe an escalation of tensions within the United States, has an inevitable…

Following up on last week’s “boogyman” inspired A history of hate speech, we encounter a current example of centralization of government via fearmongering. Harmless enough in name. the COVID–19 Hate Crimes Act allows the federal government to hijack any race related case they choose(7,8). In addition to having first dibs on cases – because you can’t leave it to the state to deliver the “right” verdict – there will be a massive increase in general oversight.

The Democratic Party is the best at making itself look bad. You would think that the leaders and representatives of the free world would be masters of speech and communication. But you would be proven wrong just by listening to what comes out of their mouths on a daily basis. I’m not going to reach too far back into the past on this one, rather just focus on the past few days and what has been spoken from the mouths of our current leadership.  Let us start with Joe.
