The Farm Chronicles: Highfalutin farm women
Life on the farm for women in rural Northeastern Ohio during the mid-1900s certainly was not your picture of the modern liberated female—today’s upstart women would probably not have survived it or would have run away screaming. These women had houses to keep, economics to run, chores to do, and it was a lot of…
Read MoreIntentional destruction by fear
As we unpack the COVID 19 pandemic, Americans are going to find that false information, lies, false science, and sinister deep state-like forces are destroying our lives for political and personal gain. I know it’s a bold, controversial statement. Consider, however, how ruthlessly the left, the media, and the deep state prosecuted an anti-globalist President…

A July 27th post on the White House website cites President Trump as saying “Vaccines are coming along really well. Likewise therapeutics. Moving faster than anticipated.” Through Operation Warp Speed, the government has invested in more than five vaccines and teamed up with multiple pharmaceutical companies to safely produce as many effective vaccines as possible,…
Read MoreThe cauldron of civil war in America
In May of 2017, I wrote in the Daily Jot what I saw as a growing civil war in America. I quoted as an example a University of Hawaii professor who wanted to eliminate white men from academia because she believed “actual solutions require women of color and trans people”. Piper Harron, a black female,…

In the wake of the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases in Ghana, and the attendant hardships it is exacting on far too many, the entire socioeconomic situation in Ghana is becoming increasingly overwhelming. This was reflected in this month’s distribution of food to some 250 beneficiaries. The whole exercise was fraught with a mix of heart-rending issues…
Read MoreThe Farm Chronicles: Boots on the ground
The nearest biggest town, Ravenna, Ohio, was some 16 miles from the farm. We didn’t run to town very often. Dad and Mom would go into town on Friday’s to get feed for the livestock, groceries and necessities, and then we would often get a bite to eat at East Park Restaurant. Now, East Park…

The Cato Institute, a public policy think tank “dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace” has released polling results indicating that nearly two-thirds of Americans censor themselves from expressing their political opinions because others might find them offensive. The poll shows that 77% of Republicans, 59% of Independents, and…
Read MoreThe game of COVID 19 and politics
What to believe? The US is reporting over 1,000 COVID 19 deaths per day now, but there are reports that even accidental auto deaths are being reported as COVID 19-related to boost numbers. Democratic governors are sounding alarms about reopening the states to business, but many believe they want to continue shuttering businesses to sway…
Read MoreThe prophetic communist threat to American Christians
The international COVID 19 response has enlightened the world to just how fast governments can move to restrict freedom and overrule basic rights, especially the right to free speech and religious expression. Combine this with the hatred expressed by the “hate doesn’t live here” crowd if you don’t agree with them on their pet issues,…
