Professor Shoots Himself on Campus in Protest of Trump, AR-15's, and Malnutrition  by Jake MacAulay This week I have some bathroom humor that is…well, not funny.   Sociology professor Mark J. Bird brought a gun to the College of Southern Nevada, where he is an emeritus professor. Bird proceeded to enter a bathroom and discharged his weapon into the arm of…. himself.   Bird fired the self-inflicted shot to his arm in protest of Trump and his administration’s policies, includin

Local Legislator Defends the Unborn with the Law  by Jake MacAulay Just last week Michael Anthony Peroutka, Chairman of the Anne Arundel County Council, introduced Resolution 30-18 recognizing and declaring the humanity of preborn children.

What Can We Do To Produce Liberty?  by Jake MacAulay Have you ever noticed you can’t only avoid eating unhealthy foods; you must eat nutritious foods?   You can’t only avoid mistreating your wife or children; you must love and care for them as you love yourself.   You can’t only avoid mistreating your employees or those you have authority over; you must treat them with respect and dignity.   Borrowing the wisdom of my friend and Christian patriot, Bob Peck, this simple princi

We Aren't Talking about Humans, So Why Defund Planned Parenthood? by Jake MacAulay My amendment would end funding to Planned Parenthood, but it is being blocked by… Republicans, Rand Paul said on the Senate floor and on twitter recently.   TheBlaze.com reported recently, An amendment that would have blocked Planned Parenthood from receiving taxpayer funding was rejected in a 45-48vote in the Senate on Thursday.   Why would a bill to defund Planned Parenthood, something that

Should “In God We Trust Return to Public Life and Be Backed by Law? by Jake MacAulay On  July 30, 1956 , President Dwight Eisenhower signed  legislation establishing, “In God We Trust,” as America’s  national motto in 36 US Code 302.    According to Fox News, public school officials in Alabama are looking to put God back into their schools through displays of the national motto.   Florida State Rep.

Do “We the People” Have the Right To Alienate Freedom? by Jake MacAulay Have you noticed a trend in America that views liberty under God as rebellion to power structures existing in our nation?  Although this is perverse thinking, it is nothing new to Americans.             Before the Declaration of Independence, the First Continental Congress in 1775 issued the Olive Branch petition to King George III. It was an attempt to assert the rights of the colonists that were no long

Once Again the Second Amendment Saves Lives While Ignoring it Incites Murder by Jake MacAulay The natural and God-given right of self-defense is perfectly summed up by the Second Amendment, part of 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.   Tragically, many

Celebrate Independence Day, Not the Fourth of July by Jake MacAulay   This week we celebrate the 242nd birthday of our Constitutional Republic. I would like to suggest that Americans should NOT celebrate the “Fourth of July,” since this is just a day on a calendar. Rather, Americans SHOULD celebrate “Independence Day” and their blessed heritage of “liberty under law,” which resulted from the courageous actions of our founding fathers.   I would also add that the central imp

How Do You Choose a Supreme Court Nominee? Ask Hamilton by Jake MacAulay Like every other branch of American Government, the Supreme Court is not without its heroes and zeros.  However, the Central Judiciary was a desperately needed piece added to the Constitution in Article Three after a season of no Federal judiciary during the time of the Articles of Confederation, America’s first Constitution.    Founding Father Alexander Hamilton postulated: "[A] limited Constitution … c

Electoral College Case Study State’s Powers in our Constitutional Republic   Our Founders had a distinctive understanding of human nature which formed the basis for the decisions they made in framing our civil government. Their understanding was based upon a plain reading of the Bible and they knew (and believed) what the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans chapter three: 10 as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 there is none that understandeth, there is none th

The Author of the Great Compromise Still Speaks to Americans Today by Jake MacAulay This week we honor the passing of founding father Roger Sherman of Connecticut, who went on to eternity on July 23, 1793. I am reminded of the statement that this giant of a man made regarding the past and present of our miraculous Republic.     “Sad will be the day when the American people forget their traditions and their history, and no longer remember that the country they love, the instit
