Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston I took the above picture of Fern Springs in Yosemite 11 years ago in the course of my pilgrimage. I played around with various filters and effects and loved the way it turned out. (Yeah, I know, don’t give up my day job.) It seems incongruous to the title of this piece, […]
Read More Gangster Government Gears up for WarBy Charlie Johnston (I have been working on a piece directed to our orthodox Catholic Bishops. It is a sort of light version of the sort of strategic counsel I used to give public officials – and still do informally. I hope to have it ready this weekend. In the mean time, I repeat this […]
Read More The Future is what, Under God, We Make of it.By Charlie Johnston Before honest people can work together effectively on the way forward for Western Civilization, they have to work through their grief over the death of the American Republic.

Read More Grieving the Death of the RepublicBy Charlie Johnston I have not yet seen the movie, “Nefarious,” but I intend to as soon as I finally get settled at home.

But the left has broken off the pendulum of the clock of our republic, ripped […]
Read More The Left Has Smashed The PendulumBy Charlie Johnston Nashville, Tennessee – Last week my ire over the public trashing of a Bishop I care about by a man he had been a friend to led me to sin in my casual comments about SSPX.

Read More End of EmpireBy Charlie Johnston Huntsville, Alabama – If you have been paying attention to the news the last week you know that Atlanta has blown, Memphis is getting ready to blow, and another mass public shooting happened at a dance studio in Monterey Park, a suburb of Los Angeles. While describing all Antifa and BLM-led burning, […]
Read More TremorsBy Charlie Johnston Tumbling Shoals, Arkansas – On about half of my daily intentions, I have taken to asking relatives and friends of mine who are deceased to pray for me and those intentions.
