Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston Front Royal, Virginia – I am very optimistic. I have said repeatedly that the power of darkness is broken – and that we will win every battle that we press forward with vigor on, under God going forward. I stand by that. But by no means do I mean it is all […]
Read More There Yet be DragonsBy Charlie Johnston Laurel, Maryland – Monday and Tuesday of this week were challenging…and rewarding. On Monday I went to pray at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Solomon’s Island, Maryland. It sits right on a beautiful segment of the Chesapeake Bay. Turning left into the parking lot, I stupidly allowed myself to […]
Read More Cast Down From the High PlacesBy 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 […]
Read More Fiery TrialsBy 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 MaterialFrom Charlie Johnston Helena, Alabama – I pretty much say all I have to say in this Thanksgiving video for CORAC. Thank you all for the fabulous work you have done these last four years to keep the home fires of faith, family, and freedom burning. In 2008, at the Easter Vigil at Immaculate Heart of […]
Read More Happy Thanksgiving!By Charlie Johnston Covington, Louisiana – Matt Gaetz would not have been my choice for Attorney General. If I wanted to take a blowtorch to the place and the bulldoze the rubble so it could never target honest Americans for disagreeing with the government narrative, he is the perfect guy to send. Maybe Gaetz would […]
Read More Ever Bold, Never BrashBy Charlie Johnston Tyler, Texas – Well, I killed another computer going into the end of the week. When you are constantly pounding away writing, a laptop PC has a shelf life of about three to three and a half years before some of the keys stop working. This time it was primarily the P […]
Read More Steady on…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 Canterbury, New Hampshire – I am a fan of Harry Bosch, the tough, hard-bitten fictional Los Angeles Police Detective created by author Michael Connelly. Passionately devoted to justice, Bosch is nobody’s fool and not easily duped. The same cannot be said for Connelly – who is easily duped by his desire to […]
Read More Insurrect This!By Charlie Johnston Queens, New York – At times, when feeling playful in my research, I have gone on deep dives back decades, even over a century, looking at newspapers for general trends. It was on one of these forays that I discovered that if a president wanted to build a successful term, he would […]
