A friendly Reminder

Questions to Ask a Candidate by Michael Peroutka What do you say when someone running for office asks for your vote? Let’s say someone knocks at your door and they smile and tell you that they are running for State Delegate or State Representative or State Senate, or maybe for some County office like County Council or Sheriff. Maybe they are running for Congress or the US Senate.Let’s say you know little about them except that they are polite and make a nice appearance. They

FACE MASK LAWS ARE PRETENDED LEGISLATION by Michael Peroutka There is no law that requires you to wear a facemask. Likewise, there is no law that requires a place of business to require you to wear a facemask while visiting their property.    If there was such a law in Maryland, it would be the result of a constitutional legislative process whereby both houses of the Maryland General Assembly voted on it favorably. *1   If it then received the Governor’s signature it would be

Government Fraud Against the American Church by Jake MacAulay This past weekend I had the privilege of joining a group of amazing Patriots in Virginia. As I entered the church, I found myself in a time jump back to when things were normal. There was not a single mask to be found in the entirety of the church. People worshipped their Creator unencumbered by coercive burdens laid upon them by the state.   While it was refreshing to experience biblical Christianity for the weeke

When the Bully Says Shopping Without a Mask is a Crime by Jake MacAulay This weekend I went shopping for a tank top for my son at a local retailer. I walked in the store like a normal human with shoes, shirt, and pants. While I headed to the men’s department, an employee proclaiming my inconsiderate oversight accosted me. I didn’t wear a mask, a mandate given by the governor of my state. I responded with, “I have a condition,” and continued walking.   My son followed me and s

Black Lives do Matter; Read the Constitution’s Three-Fifths Clause by Jake MacAulay We are barraged again by war in our midst, a war over something as diabolical and 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 ours

The War on Black Lives in America by Jake MacAulay   Despite being a culture of death, Americans have uncompromisingly (or so we think) done away with slavery and racial discrimination in a pursuit of liberty for all men and women.   Noah Webster clarifies that the “liberty of one depends not so much on the removal of all restraint from him, as on the due restraint upon the liberty of others.”    This restraint on the liberty of others is exemplified in chattel slavery.  Webs

What Makes July 4th Truly Significant? by Jake MacAulay As we enter the 245th year of the independence of these United States, it seems more than appropriate that we pause and consider what “independence” means, from whence it originates, and, perhaps most importantly, how it can be preserved for future generations.   At the heart of the Declaration of Independence is a legal and logical argument, which can be summarized like this:   The King of England had persisted in conti

A Message to the Fathers of America by Jake MacAulay Fathers of America, have you noticed how much attention has been given to shameful current events? Brutal force and murder by corrupt police officers, racism, and riots have been a firestorm throughout America.    These events, of course, are not isolated to just our modern times. However, here are just a few things that isolate modern uprisings from those of as recent as the 50s and 60s.   With so few fathers today, less

Property and Liberty are Burning by Jake MacAulay While we are watching massive demonstrations of unrest across our country, city governments are disassembling police forces. At the same time, state governments are assembling armies of tracers, informants, and bureaucratic busybodies intent on coming to your home to force you to test or to quarantine or to vaccinate.   Unlike the riotous Marxist armies of Antifa destroying physical property, these armies will be empowered to

Unrestrained Power Leads to Murder by Jake MacAulay Founding father, abolitionist, and the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Jay reflected:   It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished. The honor of the States as well as justice and humanity, in my opinion, loudly call upon them to emancipate these unhappy people.  To contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others, involves an inconsistency not to be excused.   During the unconstituti

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT  by Michael Peroutka                                       Sometimes the simple, straightforward truth is hard to recognize.  Sometimes the answer is so patently clear that we just cannot see it. For the past eleven weeks the churches in America have been ordered to remain closed under the threat of fines and punishments by civil government officials. Some church services have been interrupted and some pastors have even been arrested for disobeying what

The Shadow Cast on Memorial Day 2020 by Jake MacAulay During the time of our Founders it was clear who was threatening the life, liberty, and property of Americans.   For example:   When King George’s assaults on American liberties increased, American Richard Stockton sided with the Americans and was chosen as a delegate to the Continental Congress, where he signed the Declaration of Independence as a representative for New Jersey.   Stockton was then kidnapped from his home
