Beyond the Pale

By Charlie Johnston I have been getting increasingly disturbed by the growing anti-Israel sentiment I am finding in the ranks of traditional, pious Catholics and, to a lesser extent, among conservatives of all stripes.

A Future and a Hope

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.

While Christians Slept

By Charlie Johnston Dallas, Texas – Ever since the turn of the millennium, I have argued that the left (in politics, media, and culture) has been following the path of dehumanizing opponents that is always the forerunner of prison and death camps.

Happy Inauguration Day!

By Charlie Johnston Niceville, Florida – I saw several wits on X and Facebook note that, for the first time in their lives, they were wishing they could skip the weekend and just get right to today. One has to hope that Joe Biden didn’t start World War III, bring in another 10 million illegal […]

Fiery Trials

By Charlie Johnston Ocala, Florida – The late Chicago Mayor, Richard J. Daley, had a saying I loved. “Good government is good politics and good politics is good government.” It was a memorable Chicago way of saying take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves. The late mayor […]
