A friendly Reminder

Happy Veterans Month, Here is to Patriotism By Jake MacAulay For the first time in the 100-year existence of the New York City  Veterans Day Parade , President Donald Trump and the First Lady returned to his home city and state to mark the holiday.  Organizers have invited every president over the last  25 years  to the parade, and Trump was the first to accept.  Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, is a  federal holiday in the United States  observed annually on

What is American Law? By Jake MacAulay A nation ceases to be republican only when the will of the majority ceases to be the law. – Thomas Jefferson Tragically, many in America have no knowledge of what law Jefferson is referring to. Are they Republican laws, Democrat laws, Fascist, Antifa, Black, White, Socialist, the Supreme Court’s, or Trump’s Laws? Thankfully, our Founding Fathers codified the principles of our Creator God as the standard with regard to American Law and Go

Why Are We Still in Syria, Mr. President? by Jake MacAulay Last week President Donald Trump made the unequivocal statement that the United States was pulling its troops out of Syria. “Bring soldiers home,” he said. “Let someone else fight over this long-bloodstained sand.” But then he overturned himself later in the same speech saying, “We’ve secured the oil and therefore a small number of U.S. troops will remain in the area where they have the oil. And we’re going to be prot

Chicken Little is Telling Us, "We Need to Eat the Babies" by Jake MacAulay This month, New York Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez hosted a local meeting in Queens, when a woman took to the microphone to address the “climate crisis.” “Your next campaign slogan has to be this,” she said, removing her jacket to reveal a T-shirt that said, “Save the Planet, Eat the Children.”“We got to start eating babies,” the woman said. “There’s too much CO2. All of you, you know, you’re

NFL Quarterback Drew Brees Promotes Our Founders Approach to Education by Jake MacAulay Every October 3rd, students in schools all across America celebrate what is called “Bring Your Bible to School Day” This year legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees made a video affirming Christian students :  “I want to encourage you to live out your faith on Bring Your Bible to School Day, and share God’s love with friends. You’re not alone.” This is a tender, amiable message from a profes

Some Say Impeachment, What Does the Constitution Require? by Jake MacAulay A new CBS News poll conducted by YouGov shows 55% of Americans think the newly openedprobe for the impeachment of this President is necessary, while 45% of Americans think it is unnecessary. Last Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry into the President after a “so-called” whistleblower complaint, accusing Trump of “using the power of his office to solicit interferen

If Troops are Needed in Syria, Then Congress Should Act by Jake MacAulay Our Founding Fathers made it very difficult for Americans to be sent to war.  They had witnessed centuries of tyranny strengthening itself in countries where kings and parliaments used their own people as pawns and slaves in self-serving wars for more power and self-aggrandizements.   Therefore, the Constitution they crafted did not grant the president any authority to unilaterally attack other nations.

Presidential Candidates Playing Make-Believe by Jake MacAulay If your home is like my home, you have a kitchen where you, among other things, prepare and maybe also eat your meals. Again, if you are like me, you, of course, stand and walk around on the floor of the kitchen and you don’t try to walk on the ceiling or on any of the walls.  And you don’t try to place, say, a bowl of soup on the wall because it would immediately spill to the floor. The very idea of trying to oper

Kavanaugh and the Crime of Bearing False Witness by Jake MacAulay It’s now been over a week since The New York Times correctly retracted its slanderous libel against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It turns out the “new allegation” isn’t supported by the victim, a fact many believed was purposely left omitted from their the story. Despite this very public information, Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, Liz Warren, Beto O’Rourke, Julián Castro, Cory Booker and Pete But

Are Students Really Withholding Conservative Religious Views in College? by Jake MacAulay With few exceptions, if you were to ask the most far-right or left-leaning American which country is the best in the world, undoubtedly the answer would be America. That is because all sincere and honest Americans know that, despite all her imperfections, America offers the safety, prosperity, and opportunity to pursue our dreams.  With this commonality of understanding, it regularly sho

Joshua's Speech If your home is like my home, you have a kitchen where you, among other things, prepare and maybe also eat your meals.   Again, if you are like me, you, of course, stand and walk around on the floor of the kitchen and you don’t try to walk on the ceiling or on any of the walls.  And you don’t try to place, say, a bowl of soup on the wall because it would immediately spill to the floor.   The very idea of trying to operate your kitchen (or for that matter, any

What Does Separation of Church and State Mean? by Jake MacAulay   Our recent national observation of what is called "Labor Day" got me to thinking.  When we observe national holidays, what, exactly, are we celebrating?  And when I consider how fashionable is the modern focus on "diversity" it makes me wonder how past American leaders could ever have come together to establish any national holiday since "unity of purpose and commonality of understanding" rather than "diversi

Title X Noose Removed From the Hands of Planned Parenthood by Jake MacAulay As reported by the Washington Post:  Planned Parenthood  announced Monday that it is pulling out of the Title X federal family planning program (for low-income Americans) rather than abide by a new Trump administration rule prohibiting participants from referring patients for abortions.Pro-life groups heralded the abrupt decision as a major victory — and one that signaled that Planned Parenthood, cont

Who Made the Rules for the Struggle of Liberty? by Jake MacAulay Are you distressed that many in America are rapidly digressing from the principled, honorable standard of morality we once held? This standard produced an example of biblical morality that constructed one of the greatest civil documents of liberty the world has ever seen: the Declaration of Independence. The principles of this Document still motivate the world, as seen by recent demonstrations in Hong Kong.  As

If Black Lives Matter Why Take Away Their Guns? by Jake MacAulay Very few Americans will remember the following historical facts regarding Black-American gun ownership in America: The first task of the Democrat-controlled Ku Klux Klan was to disarm the black population in the South.  It was citizen militias that repelled white mobs who were attacking black neighborhoods in many Northern cities in the days before reconstruction. On at least two occasions, those militias were c

Democratic Socialists are Absurd by Jake MacAulay What we are witnessing in the current political arena, mainstream media, and public education has become nonsensical. It is the intentional validation of absurdity, and it is not reality.  Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines “absurd” as:  opposed to manifest truth; inconsistent with reason or the plain dictates of common sense .  An absurd man acts contrary to the clear dictates of reason or sound judgment.  An absurd propositio

This Leftist Gave Me a Piece of His Mind by Jake MacAulay Last week we discussed a group of women serving in Congress labeled “The Squad” who support various anti-American socialist concepts and policies.  In response to my column, I received a long, exhaustive email in support of The Squad while excoriating my supposed hateful, narrow-mindedness.  This week I want to take you into the mind of a leftist as I share his Un-American view. His philosophy of government is a direct

This Squad Certainly Doesn't Play for America by Jake MacAulay Samuel Adams, known as the “Father of the American Revolution,” once made the statement: “If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” In his farsightedness, Adams defined the infectious political climate of Americans today.  In this current day and age, we have individuals swea

Deportation Raids: Constitutional? by Jake MacAulay I believe we can all agree that despite our shortcomings the United States is likely the greatest country to live in. This, of course, is due to the blessings of Almighty God and the unashamed dedication our Founding Fathers had to Him and His Law. They believed in a doctrine of sacred “God-given Rights” and what is termed “the Rule of Law,” which would defend and ensure those sacred rights.  It should be noted that the heig

What Was Missing at the World Cup? by Jake MacAulay Though I didn’t watch much of the Women’s World Cup this past weekend, I sure was happy to hear that America emerged victorious. Unlike other victorious World Cup teams across the world, there was no mention of thanks to God or Jesus from the American players.  I believe this is symptomatic of the emerging citizenry of America. Tragically, the outward proclamation of our belief, reliance, and thankfulness to our Creator is b
