Abraham's Journey
By 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 Tallahassee, Florida – I have told the story of watching 9-11 in real time and exclaiming to my friend watching with me that the towers were about to collapse. I had seen them shudder just a few minutes before the first tower came down. My friend, a fellow long-time political operative, had let […]
Read More Make All Things New AgainBy 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 MaterialBy Charlie Johnston Clanton, Alabama – Joe Biden and the Deep State which runs him do not want peace between Ukraine and Russia for the same reason that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo doesn’t want the U.S. to declare war on Mexican drug cartels: It would expose the depth of the corruption and rot of […]
Read More Russia, Ukraine, and the WorldBy Charlie Johnston Pelham, Alabama – For two and a half years I have been working on “Revival,” the CORAC manual and guide to building functioning communities. Let’s be brutally candid: if the forces fronted for by Kamala Harris had prevailed, civil war would have been quickly in our future. Both Harris and Walz had […]
Read More Update on Revival, the ManualFrom 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 “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 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. It is intimate in that he knows every nook and cranny of it, including every mound and soft spot on the playing field. […]
