Predicting How America Falls

Historians are averse to using the study of history to be predictive about the future, and journalism tends to talk about what happened with a little bit of why mixed in if those funding them demand they blame something or somebody for the results.  Usually, the wrong something or somebody. This is an article about…

The Red Challenge Flag Has Been Thrown

Stealing from college and professional football, a figurative red challenge flag has been thrown down to challenge American Christian churches, and, to me, that includes all American Christian churches from the southernmost point in South America, Cape Horn, to the northernmost point in North America, Cape Columbia. Western civilization was founded on the Judeo-Christian values…

God Has a Wonderful Plan for Your Life

If you have ever been in church circles or hung out with people of faith long enough you have probably heard the phrase, “God has a wonderful plan for your life.” Last week, I authored an article titled The Romans Road, and in it showed how God’s plan for salvation is laid out in the…

The Romans Road

The Romans were good at a lot of things. While touring Europe, I was able to see much of the work they left behind that sometimes looks in better condition than the roads in my hometown of Helena, Montana. But there is a far more important road that winds through the biblical book of Romans.…

The Other Side of the Montana Constitution

For some time now I’ve watched the popular efforts of Montanans to improve their state constitution, and the anguished opposition by figures in Montana’s former political establishment. The response amounts to a sanctimonious “How dare they?” One example: Former Governor Marc Racicot’s Feb. 1 capitol speech, in which he equated reform efforts with attacks on…

Hope

Forced mask and vax mandates, centralization of digital currencies, sexualization and grooming of children, wars and rumors of wars, train derailments, food processing plant fires, selling our national sovereignty to the World Health and other globalist organizations, food-water-energy security under attack, faith and patriotism in the cross hairs, and so much more. We are surrounded…

Speeding Through the Fourth Turning

In 1997, William Strauss and Neil Howe published a book titled The Fourth Turning, where they examine five hundred years of history and uncover a pattern, one they believe will help people better understand modern history. They claim history moves in cycles composed of four “turnings.” Each turning lasts approximately twenty years and they always…

Aftermath of the Red Trickle, 2022

This report was originally published in Poor Roger’s Almanac on November 9th, 2022. Like many other people, I was expecting at least a wave which was discernible. Heck, I even predicted that ten months ago. “The 2022 mid-term elections will result in the Democrats being decimated and the Republicans securely ensconced as the majority party…

Anyone Else Longing For “The Good Old Days”?

They say that youth is wasted on the young and the older I get, the truer that saying becomes.  How many of us can remember our grandparents waxing nostalgic about “the good old days” and we would secretly laugh them off?  I am discovering the older I get, the more I miss my grandparents and…
