Abraham's Journey
By 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 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.

Read More Dead Press TalkingBy Charlie Johnston “Woe unto the world because of offenses! For it must needs be that offenses come, But woe to that man by whom the offence comes.” -Matthew 18:7 On Friday, July 5, the Vatican found Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano guilty of schism and excommunicated him.

Read More What is Truth?By Charlie Johnston Golden, Colorado – Perhaps the nicest thing about the new reality following the butchery by Hamas in Israel is the moral clarity it brings.
