You are likely seeing posts about the coming “right-wing attack,” meant to foment more support for gun control. But what the government isn’t going to allow the lamestream media to tell you is, it is they who are planning an attack. Patriotic citizens just go about their daily lives until WE come under attack.

Perhaps it is because in theory, we manage to work out complicated problems without much effort. Yet in practice, the solving of a problem (immigration in this case) is more complicated than what theory

During this last election in south Dallas, where black people generally vote over 90% for the Democratic party, I thought that the truth should be spoken in these uncertain terms.

I had the privilege of sitting down with Alfonzo Rachel recently. We had a frank discussion about our Christian faith and how we relate that to politics as Black Americans. Should Christians vote for politicians who promote anti-Christ policy? How do we in the Black community square our faith with our votes? We had a very frank and interesting exchange. I think we answered a lot of the questions we are
