The Turning of the Tide

By Charlie Johnston Huntsville, Alabama – As Pope Francis slyly accuses Israel of genocide for having the temerity to defend itself against another 40 years of terrorist-fueled rape, torture, and murder emanating from Gaza, serious Catholics around the world ask themselves, “How long, O Lord?” Planned Parenthood is caught negotiating for viable fetuses, tiny babies, […]

Insurrect This!

By 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 […]

What We Have Done

By Charlie Johnston If you lost your job, but had $250,000 in the bank, you could live normally for quite some time if you are middle class, by drawing down on your capital. Every week you did that, though, you would be headed towards a precipitous cliff. Do it long enough and you would plunge […]
