Charlie Johnston Though I am back home and recuperating, I still have not gotten back into my routine. I am visiting at Mark and Mary Lapchak’s for a few days, then will be at the St. Thomas Aquinas Conference in Colorado Springs over the weekend (I won’t be there until Friday). Then next week I […]
Read More Elvis and the RosaryBy Charlie Johnston At a recent Mass, the Priest (a man in minor authority, no less) gave a very thinly veiled endorsement for open borders, while informing all of us it was our duty to protest for the same.

Read More The Magma is Among UsBy Charlie Johnston Watching tapes of the Democrat debates, I was startled that none of the candidates was asked any questions about the border crisis…or about Israel…or about how candidates’ utopian plans were going to work out differently for the entire country than they have for those cities which have been under Democratic control for […]
