Beware of the new communist movement
Salon.com has published an article heralding a new socialist movement in America led by Bernie Sanders and supported by the media. The Salon reporters write: “The new US socialist movement is without a single “line” or monolithic political position. That’s a strength of the movement, since none of us has all the answers. Still, many…
Read More50 shades of socialism
The Democratic Party Presidential debate showed the true colors of the party—50 shades of socialism, or probably more. It also showed how the party behaves. There is very little any of the candidates have to offer. Nothing new from the stable of mostly old former 60s hippies or hippy wannabes. Climate change, abortion, special rights…
Read MoreThe Farm Chronicles—a nightmare adventure
A couple of times a year, my dad would plan a trip to Oscar McWilliam’s ranch just outside of Sedalia, Missouri to buy horses. Oscar was an old time cowboy, the Jack Palance type, tall, a little bent over, beat up old cowboy hat, he talks but his lips don’t move, and he’s honest as…
Read MoreDo you really have a voice?
Many Daily Jot readers write that they feel their voices are ignored when it comes to the national dialogue on politics and the decline of our nation. Others say that they feel helpless because they want to see our nation turned around, but no matter what they do–letter writing, faxes, phone calls, petitions, meetings, town…

There is a commercial “authorized and approved” by Mike Bloomberg that shows the immediate past president and him together in various scenes, while the former president is talking about how “Mike” gets things done. All the while these scenes are showing, there is a very subliminal backdrop. It shows Bloomberg at a UN conference on…

The US State Department’s yearly report on human trafficking identifies the problems and even has some stories to put a human face on this horror of horrors. But like so many things, the State Department really doesn’t call it like it is. There is a massive organized crime network trafficking in human beings and if…

In Islam there is a religious permission to lie, “Taqiyya,” which allows Muslims to lie to non-believers to advance the cause of Islam. There is also a religious justification of human trafficking in Islam, a system known as Kafala. Kafala, originally referring to the Islamic “adoption” of children, is an exploitive “sponsorship” system that results…
Read MoreThe Farm Chronicles—Jungle Larry
My childhood on the farm in Ohio was quite blessed with many different adventures that involved a lot of animals and even more imagination. One of the staples of my week was a television show out of Cleveland on WEWS called Captain Penny. From 1955 to 1971, Ron Penfound was Captain Penny and he hosted…
Read MoreThe worldview division
A recent Gallup poll gives a pretty clear indication of how Democrats and Republicans are extremely divided on issues of religion, their worldview of America, and acceptance of socialism. Some 76% of Democrats said they would vote for a socialist for president, compared with only 17% of Republicans surveyed. While 88% of Republicans said they…
Read MoreOf loving enemies, and the President’s words
We have heard many criticize the President for his allegedly insensitive remarks about his political enemies at the national prayer breakfast. It is important to keep things in context. What is the context of Christ’s exhortation of praying for your enemies? Christ consistently spoke about loving our neighbors as we would love ourselves; Praying for…
