Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Libertyville, Illinois – I’ve been in the Chicago area this week, my old stomping grounds. It is nice to revisit the place where you grew up and spent the bulk of your early life in. You know it with an intimacy you’ll never have with any other place. As a boy, I […]
Read More Welcome to ArmageddonBy Charlie Johnston Okay, I’m ready. At the bottom of this article I will make my predictions for this election cycle. More often than not, when I make formal predictions, I am eerily on target, picking up on huge undercurrents that no one else does. My best performances were, 1) in 1994, when I predicted […]
Read More And the Winners Are…By Charlie Johnston Sometime in the next couple of weeks I am going to publish my final thoughts on the midterm elections. Back when I was doing radio I would do this for 12-15 races every cycle. It was kind of weird. I got everything right, including upsets no one saw coming, except for one […]
Read More The Gettysburg Election(This is, by far, the longest post I have ever written here. I won’t blame you at all if you don’t read all of it. I thought of shortening it, but then I thought it would be useful for you to see some of the highlights of how I approach topics for analysis. If you […]

Read More Join Us Sunday For a Late Afternoon ZOOM MeetingBy Charlie Johnston Just over a month ago I told my son about Trump Accounts for the kids. Frankly, these are the greatest things since Harry met Sally. Because they give a seed deposit of $1,000 for every child enrolled who was born on or after Jan. 1, 2025, some folks have gotten the mistaken […]
Read More Laying Down the Trump CardBy Charlie Johnston Golden, Colorado – I was up in Colorado to give a talk last Sunday. I was pretty pleased, as we had plenty of old friends, a good chunk of new ones, and a lot of energy. I told them that, though the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart is on the horizon, they […]
Read More Renewal Starts From WithinBy Charlie Johnston Five things I’m pondering… Inversion of Church and State A bizarre dispute has arisen between the State of Florida and Miami Catholic Archbishop Thomas Wenski over Catholic school vaccine mandates, which the State of Florida forbids schools to mandate. What is bizarre about it is that the state’s Attorney General, James Uthmeier, is […]
Read More Enough is EnoughBy Charlie Johnston It was a banner July for our little community here at A Sign of Hope. We were right about every aspect of Covid – and were one of the earliest to get it right. We didn’t use weasel words; we were full-throated about it. It absolutely gobsmacked me that, during the depraved […]
Read More Chickens Coming HomeBy Charlie Johnston I have been working deeply on what I think is a key project. We are in perilous times, but like Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities,” it is very much both the best of times and the worst of times. I think we are on the verge of having the fulness […]
