The American Chronicles: The scooter incident
We have been RVing now for about two years. One of the challenges with a motorhome is driving around after you have set up camp. You most likely want to go hiking or to a restaurant or sightseeing. Then it comes down to unhooking everything and breaking camp. There is then the decision whether you…
Read MoreCommon Sense and Idiocy
During the first week of Joe Biden’s presidency, he put a stop work order on the keystone pipeline that killed 11,400 jobs. The American Petroleum Institute said halting oil and gas drilling on federal lands will cost a million jobs. The Chamber of Commerce estimated the Paris Climate reentry will cost 6.5 million jobs.

Read MoreStupidocrisy: Politics gone insane
The recent Democratic National Convention was a showcase for politics gone insane. To any and every American irrespective of party affiliation the spectacle in Chicago last week should raise alarm bells. The Democratic Party has driven a stake in the ground with a most communistic concept of “democratic” government in the history of the United…
Read MoreThe Nothingburger Address
She began her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention with the familiar Kamala Cackles that has been her trademark. Her speech was marked by shrillness and arms flailing about not even synched by points of emphasis. How this person could ever be president is beyond imagination. No vision. No specific policies or ideas of…

People talk and sing about love all the time. Love, however, is elusive for many. We live in a world where a love song is often more appropriately titled a lust song. The sarcasm and so-called comedy is often the very opposite of love. The examples that we see in the media defile love. There…

The night before, we made camp…

Another popular preached position is that the scriptures say that we must submit to, rather…
Read MoreThe prophetic wind swirling around Israel
There is a prophetic wind swirling around Israel as we witness the ancient words of holy scripture playing out in historic fashion. Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11 is the Torah portion called Va’etchanan and it is read following the fast of Tishah B’Av, which began August 12th this year at sundown and continued until an hour after sundown on…
Read MoreThe American Chronicles: Mayflower Visit
When I was 10 years old, Mom and Dad took me out of school for a trip to all the New England states. One of the stops was Plymouth. I didn’t know it then, but they were giving me a history of my family as well as a lesson about what it means to be…
Read MoreCourage without fear
Some of the headlines these days can be quite discouraging. The news media continues to propagate lies about the presidential candidates by attacking one and embellishing the other. The stock market is teetering on a meltdown. US debt is over $35 Trillion. Inflation is eating more hardy than families. Antisemitism is running wild. The world…
