A friendly Reminder

A Texas Judges Prayers and the 1st Amendment by Jake MacAulay Prayer is a universal assistance that billions of people all over the globe rely on when in times of distress, sadness, trouble, happiness, or gratefulness.  This practice transcends all lines of ethnicity, culture, religions, and political systems.   Founding Father Benjamin Franklin openly acknowledged the dependency on prayer he and our founders had, declaring,    In the beginning of the contest with Great Brita

American Lives Matter 1776 by Jake MacAulay Lately, much attention has been given to shameful events including criminals, police, arrest, murder, vandalism, rioting, and protests that have plagued the streets of America.   These events, of course, are not isolated to just our modern times. During the time leading up to the Revolutionary War, there was a tumultuous stirring in the 1700’s, a movement which one might label, “American Lives Matter.”    This righteous movement occ

Truth Vs. the Testimony of Hillary Clinton by Jake MacAulay Winston Churchill is credited with saying, “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry on as if nothing ever happened.” Newt Gingrich was recently interviewed on Fox News' "Fox & Friends.” He was puzzled by the FBI's decision not to interview Hillary Clinton under oath, stating, "At this stage of the investigation, I would have thought, they would have wanted to put her

Muslims in America, Let’s Read the Constitution by Jake MacAulay Though Donald Trump and his recent feud with the father of a decorated Muslim Army captain killed in Iraq has brought the discussion about Muslims in America to the public forum, it is not a new discussion.   During the time of our founding, Islam was a major religion in many parts of the world. Therefore, there were numerous Muslims living in America during the time of its founding. Naturally, there was great c

The Democrat Platform Wants You to Pay for Murder! by Jake MacAulay   Abortion is illegal. And protecting, committing, funding, or participating in the act is criminal. Period.   I do not make this statement because the Constitution says it, but because God says it.   The Bible was the chief source of law and morality for the founders of our nation. They understood that God’s protective laws such as “thou shalt not murder” were not negotiable.    The truth of my assertion ca

The Constitution’s 3/5 Clause Agrees, Black Lives Matter! by Jake MacAulay   We are barraged again by war in our midst, a war over something as nonsensical as skin color.  This war has been with us since the creation of man in God’s own image, and its root is an innate hatred towards God, best reflected in the discriminatory destruction of our fellow man due to any quality, as seen in the case of Cain and Abel.  This hatred is a sickness we bring upon ourselves when we agree

“Hillary’s America”, No! An American America, Yes! by Jake MacAulay After a weekend of speaking in the great state of Ohio I was encouraged yet again to “go and see Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party.”  Well I had the time Sunday night so I went.    A few comments on the movie itself:  It was a very in-depth exposition to the history of what American’s know as the Democratic Party.  It highlighted the close ties of this political party to slavery, l

From Brexit to Liberty and Hopefully So Much More by Jake MacAulay “The dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom. Let June 23rd go down in our history as our independence day!” said Nigel Farage, leader of the U.K. Independence Party, after the historical vote for Britain’s Independence from the European Union.   Presidential hopeful Donald Trump declared, “The people of the United Kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all peoples”, and that “they have reasserte

How Would Our Founders Respond to Tragedies Like Orlando? by Jake MacAulay As Americans we have experienced a historical weekend in our country.   On Sunday a member of the radical Muslim faction, ISIS, opened fire in a popular homosexual night club in Orlando, Florida, killing at least 49 people - a tragedy unparalleled in America since the horrific terror attack on 9/11.    So many have flooded the public discussion with numerous contrasting solutions such as restrictions o

Clinton Queries, “If (The Second Amendment) Is a Constitutional Right.” by Jake MacAulay The natural and God-given right of self-defense is perfectly summed up by this exposition found in America’s fundamental law which regulates all our civil government institutions: “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."   Definitive, bright, unequivocal, and by no stretch of the imagination is the Second Amendment confusing.   Let’s look at the words of Je

A Biblical Account of Weapons and Self-Defense by Jake MacAulay While pondering the subject making more headlines than the Cav’s winning the NBA finals - firearms and government gun restrictions - I have noticed many anti-American sentiments around the topic of innocent Americans protecting themselves.  None of these sentiments are logical; none of them are ethical; and certainly none of them have prevented weapons from taking the life of the innocent they are claiming to pr

Are Youth in America Becoming Un-American? by Jake MacAulay On my travels throughout this great nation, I have the privilege to speak to youth in public or private schools and occasionally churches.  Last week while touring in Iowa I had the chance to address a mixed crowd that included a high school church youth group.  My first thought when speaking to youth is, Awesome, I can teach and equip these kids with what they need to stand against the secularists in America’s curr

Oklahoma’s Senator Nathan Dahm - “The Hell-Hound of Abortion” by Jake MacAulay Oklahoma Senator Nathan Dahm is likely to override a veto of Governor Mary Fallin who rejected a bill that would make it a felony for anyone to perform an abortion in the state of Oklahoma.   This senator’s fearless zeal for life is refreshingly similar to President John Quincy Adams, nicknamed “The Hell-Hound of Slavery” for relentlessly speaking out against slavery.   As depicted in the movie Ami

The Pretended Offenses of Chief Justice Roy Moore by Jake MacAulay In June of 2015, the U.S. Supreme court asserted the opinion that gay couples had the right to marry under the US constitution. On the heels of this opinion, last year a federal judge ruled same-sex marriage was legal in the state of Alabama.   Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore postulated that the US Supreme Court, and the federal judge’s ruling, was at odds with a unanimous decision by the Alabama Supre

Independence Week: An Homage To The Preachers by Jake MacAulay Known to the world was the great Christian revival, “The Great Awakening” of the 1740’s. Christianity roared through the colonies and their diverse Christian denominations. Men were reintroduced to the fervent commitment to their Creator, practiced by their puritan and pilgrim ancestors. As mankind has witnessed all through time, religious (that is, Christian) revival precedes the greatest moves of sustained liber

The Role of Government: A Fourteen-year Olds Response to What is and What Appears to Be  by Jake MacAulay Today I had the privilege of speaking at another Institute on the Constitution American Club where I graduated a host of young people from our U.S. Constitution Course!  These clubs are comprised of young people who desire to learn and live the Biblical, American View of Law and Government.   During this presentation I asked the question, “Is abortion legal in America?”  

The Key to American Greatness – Family Education by Jake MacAulay This past weekend I had the tremendous opportunity to speak and participate in a region wide homeschool convention in my home state of Minnesota.  As I traveled to this convention, I pondered my own primary education and how drastically different my private and public education was.  I never sensed being coerced, even when the crazy, mad biologist tried to tell me we evolved from fish; and we were never taught

Democracy Is No “Trump” To The Delegate Process by Jake MacAulay   Does it drive you crazy when you hear politicians and talking heads refer to America as a “democracy”? If it does, I sympathize with you. And so do America’s founders.   Here’s what James Madison, our fourth President and the man they call the “Father of the Constitution,” had to say about democracies:   Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with

Sotomayor’s Proposed Multiculturalism, a Good Thing or Bad Thing? by Jake MacAulay During a recent talk at Brooklyn Law School, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor expressed, “It is important that we have greater diversity on the Supreme Court” and, “I, for one, do think there is a disadvantage from having (five) Catholics, three Jews, every one from an Ivy League school.” Sotomayor is both a Catholic and an Ivy League school graduate. With regards to her reference of

Clinton’s “Person” May Die Because of Their Mother by Jake MacAulay Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday morning. During the interview, host Chuck Todd pressed Clinton on the topic of abortion.   “When, or if, does an unborn child have constitutional rights?” Todd asked.   The aspiring presidential candidate said that the rights outlined in the U.S. Constitution are not applicable to unborn children. Was Hillary invoking
