Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston “The jar of flour shall not go empty,nor the jug of oil run dry,until the day when the LORD sends rain upon the earth.” -1 Kings 17:14 Houston, Texas – Even in my heyday I never used polls as a primary indicator in campaigns. In fact, in my first statewide primary race […]
Read More Marching Towards the TriumphBy 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 Libertyville, Illinois – Coming to my old home state of Illinois I know what an athlete must feel like visiting his old home stadium 25 years after he has retired.

Read More Approaching the Rubicon(Beckita told me recently that she thought it was time to re-post this piece…and so I do. She also asked me to write a piece on what “make a stand with God” actually is. So that is in my composition hopper as well and will appear in a few weeks. When I was a teenager, […]

Read More Comes a Mighty WindBy Charlie Johnston I am holed up, feverishly working on the last touches on my CORAC Handbook. Today was my deadline, but I will push it through the weekend, may God have mercy on my soul. Many people treat the Apocalypse and Armageddon as the same thing. They are not. The Apocalypse is the end […]
Read More Welcome to ArmageddonQuaecumque Sunt Vera By Charlie Johnston In mythology, when sunlight bursts into a dark lair of vampires, a great shrieking and furious snarling fills the air as the vampires perish. I can’t help but notice that there is a lot of shrieking and snarling coming from the left lately. The American Spectator’s Scott McKay thinks […]
Read More Whatsoever is TrueBy Charlie Johnston I will be going into radio silence through this weekend. The CORAC Handbook and Manual on Building Functional Communities will go to Dr. Joe Brickner this weekend for formatting and then be released next week in digital form. Hard copies will be available later in the month, which you will be able […]
