Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston The Democrats swept the off-year elections on Tuesday. Of course, all they swept were in blue states and cities anyway, so that is some consolation. I had thought, however, that there might be a repudiation of Democrats in these areas. The contrast between the Biden years (which was just an extra term […]
Read More In the Garden…of GethsemaneBy Charlie Johnston I have written obliquely before of how disturbed I am at the rise of antisemitism in some quarters of the right and the traditionalist Catholic community. I’m going to be more blunt now. If you are afflicted with this, you have welcomed a demon into your counsels. Keep nurturing it and the […]
Read More The Vine and the BranchesBy Charlie Johnston There was a fellow I collaborated on five or six big campaigns with. It was a great partnership most of the time. He loved the administrative duties – which often weary me. I loved strategy and the field, meeting people, exhorting them, unifying them, laughing with them and fighting together with them. […]
Read More We Are God’s BelovedBy Charlie Johnston “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!” – Galatians 1:8 When an organization is fractured by deep divisions, I usually encourage a “Don’t spook the horses” policy for about a year.

Read More Spooking the HorsesBy Charlie Johnston Sheesh – the very day I write a piece saying that I am going to wait on making any significant judgment on where Pope Leo will fall, he ostentatiously blesses a huge block of ice in a suspiciously pagan-looking “climate change” event.

Read More The Challenge Before UsBy Charlie Johnston “Wait on the Lord, Be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart, Wait, I say, on the Lord – Psalm 27 A few people have asked me why I have written so little about Pope Leo XIV. I operate under the theory that the head of any large organization, […]
Read More Be of Good Courage!By Charlie Johnston In 2006 I was involved in two Congressional campaigns, running one and consulting on another. I spent more than a little time at the Capitol Hill Club – the Republican legislators’ informal clubhouse in Washington, D.C. The campaign I was consulting on was a competitive district that leaned Republican. The one I […]
Read More Go Forth!By Charlie Johnston Yesterday morning I saw the full video of Iryna Zarutska’s murder on the Charlotte train for the first time. Though not nearly as gruesome as I feared, it was one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever seen. The vicious man stabbed her in the neck from behind three or four […]
Read More The Week the Music DiedBy Charlie Johnston I have had several people contact me to see if I am okay, due to the sporadic nature of my posting lately. I did have a significant and serious health issue arise. As is my wont, I did some heavy research, and came up with a treatment protocol. (As you know, I […]
Read More Watching the World BurnBy Charlie Johnston I have thought long and hard about the world’s trajectory. It seems to me that God gave us a great gift, an opportunity for people of good will to start pushing back on the right track to rebuild a healthy culture. Still, I think we have a massive collapse coming, because we […]
