Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Waukegan, Illinois – On December 23, 2020, I wrote here that I thought the Covid Shots were likely to become the greatest medical disaster in modern history. My essay, “Embers in the Wind” is a fascinating read nearly five years later. In the first two paragraphs I vastly underestimated people’s tolerance for […]
Read More A Future and a HopeBy Charlie Johnston Houston, Texas – When I was a little boy, just after starting elementary school, I became a great admirer of President Kennedy. Every time he gave a speech on all the networks, I watched raptly. Of course, I had the mind of a child, so I did not always properly interpret what […]
Read More The Revolution Gathers ForceBy Charlie Johnston Shawnee, Kansas – As I have been saying for months now, the power of darkness has been broken. You might wonder, if that is so, why is there so much strife and fury sounding across the land? Simple: when sunlight bursts upon a coven of vampires there is a lot of shrieking, […]
Read More As the Walls Come Tumbling Down…By Charlie Johnston Thomasville, Georgia – Our own Steve Baker formulated one of the more penetrating questions to a piece I wrote a few days ago that I decided to answer his question in the form of another column. First, it would be good for you to look at the column in question (or, at […]
Read More Unifying the Spiritual and the MaterialBy Charlie Johnston Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – I’m going to try to do briefer pieces every day or two until at least election. Things have gotten so crazy that to try to do any sort of comprehensive stuff is truly like trying to drink from the proverbial fire hose. But we can do some postcards on […]
Read More We’re On Our OwnBy Charlie Johnston Ann Arbor, Michigan – Today, Thursday, Sept. 26, would have been my Dad’s 87th birthday. August 24th would have been my Mom’s 84th birthday. (For those of you clever with math, yes that does mean Dad was 18 when I was born and Mom was 15 – but they had been married […]
Read More Contemplations of a Road WarriorBy Charlie Johnston Omaha, Nebraska – I departed home yesterday for my latest missionary tour. About 70 miles northeast of Denver, a prairie fire swept across the road just before Wiggins, Colorado. After sitting for 15 minutes in the backed-up traffic, my GPS announced that the road ahead was now closed. Taking a gander at […]
Read More The Revolting Jezebel RevoltBy Charlie Johnston “I have not come to bring peace, but a sword” -Matthew 10:34 The most unified society of the last century was Adolf Hitler’s Germany from 1933-1938. During that period almost all elements of German society (except for its Jewish citizens) supported the little, mustachioed dictator. Oh, some were not particularly impressed with […]
Read More The Sword of TruthBy Charlie Johnston A couple of days ago. CNN’s newest anti-Trump activist, Caitlin Collins appeared on Stephen Colbert’s late night show. She ‘explained’ how Donald Trump is fumbling and struggling with how to attack Kamala Harris, an accomplished black woman. Colbert leaned into her and said, seriously, that “we all know that CNN is objective […]
Read More Dead Press TalkingBy Charlie Johnston As the Wizard of Oz found out, once people have seen behind the curtains of your vapid machinations and how hollow your thundering pronouncements are, you can’t fool them with the same tricks anymore. The Wizard was wise enough to come clean. American Democrats in the gutter press and politics have just […]
