A friendly Reminder

Author: Andrew Alleman Were the Founders of the United States simply “deists”? Debunking this modern myth.    Most who are even somewhat familiar with apologetics and debate concerning political history may recall the common assertion: “the Founders certainly weren’t Christians! They were only diests!” Such is a phrase often repeated with zealous gusto. It seems the only time the term “deist” even appears in contemporary conversation is in the context of the United States Fou

Thomas Paine said in The American Crisis, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.” The current debt crisis did not suddenly appear. It comes from decades of fiscal mismanagement and malfeasance. Most of the constitutional crisis that the news has been reporting is nothing but hype. When I turned 16, I wanted a car, just like pretty much every other American teenage boy. When I asked my father for financial help getting my first car, he told me that if I didn’t get t

When I was a little kid, I asked my dad to teach me the rules of poker so I could join in the family card games he would play with my big sisters after the supper dishes were cleared away.   So, Dad taught me what beats what – like one pair is beat by two pair which is beat by three of a kind, etc. He explained that, even though we were just playing for fun, it was important for me to know and understand the rules.   So, imagine my surprise when my big sister Mary reached for

Author: Andrew Alleman Christianity’s Fight to End Slavery   “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1   One of the crowning achievements of Christianity in the discussion of its legacy and influence throughout history is undoubtedly its systematic opposition of slavery since its beginning roots. The initial question starts with: does the bible oppose slavery directly? The

Under what circumstances can a government actor legally search cellphone location data? What are the requirements for a legitimate geofence warrant. Can this case out of California help turn the tide in our dissent into tyranny? Most of us are aware that generally law enforcement needs to get a warrant before searching our property. Recent advances in technology, however, have made the distinctions for the necessity of a warrant more and more difficult. For example, can law e

Is it constitutional for members of the House to vote by proxy? What is the Quorum Clause and why is it important in this case? Will this be a flash in the pan or an earth shattering change to the legislative process? During the COVID-19 scamdemic, Nancy Pelosi once again ignored the Constitution and implemented by rule something called “proxy voting”. Now, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging a bill because the final version pass

The United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. I have to wonder if all this concern about the “American Democracy” is really about turning us into a democracy? What we saw in Nashville last month is an example of what America would look like if we continue down this road to a democracy. After the mass murder in Nashville, I was not surprised by the politicians and advocates rushing to microphones, many before the bodies were even removed. I wasn’t surprised

Once again, the American people may be succumbing to fear and letting the federal government pass legislation that will be used to restrict our rights. In an attempt to regulate the activities of TikTok and their alleged espionage, Congress is debating the RESTRICT Act. But would it do what Congress is claiming? Are we witnessing the repeat of the PATRIOT Act? There has been plenty of talk lately about TikTok, its connection to the Chinese Communist Party, and what American p

When should a minor’s wishes supersede their parent’s? Should the courts be deciding when and if the parents of a minor child are notified of their attempts to receive an abortion? The case of Doe v Chapman deals primarily with the actions of one of the employees of the court, there is plenty of discussion of the fundamental question of parental rights vs children's. When should a parent be denied the right to know about medical procedures performed on their children? Most of

If the mission of the FDA is to protect the public health by ensuring the safety and effectiveness of drugs and medical products, has it done a good job? With all shortcuts and criminal violations the FDA took with the COVID “vaccines”, it is the first time they’ve done this, right? Will the lawsuit filed by the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine finally expose the criminal enterprise known as the Food and Drug Administration? With its failure to properly test the so-called CO

Author: Mike Sonnevedlt   Lately, I've been noticing a lot of firepower from a certain group of pastors/preachers against another group of pastors/preachers. That firepower is magnified by people on Facebook and Youtube proclaiming from the rooftops the point of view of these pastors, and throwing in their “amen” in the comments. It's been all over my feeds, shared by friends, discussed by friends in tension-filled conversations, and bandied about by every psuedo-theologian i

Only a few days ago a 28-year-old woman identified by police as Audrey Hale entered a Nashville, Tennessee Presbyterian school, where she herself was once a student, and shot and killed six people including three 9-year-olds and three adults. This incident, of course, ignited the familiar cycle of condolences, recriminations and blame shifting, including a few screechy choruses from the gun-control choir who seem ever ready to exploit human suffering and tragedy as an opportu
