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 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 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. Then he explains that anyone who supports the death penalty […]
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.

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 come not to bring peace, but a sword.” – Matthew 10:34 We had a great National Conference. Bishop Strickland not only gave a great talk, but was there all three days interacting individually with people. We’ll give you a full rundown in our CORAC Newsletter at the end of the month. […]
Read More Comes the SwordBy Charlie Johnston It was late in the War of 1812, September 13, 1814, to be exact, just over three months before the war was formally ended. The British had unleashed a brutal attack of rockets and incendiary shells on Ft. McHenry in Baltimore Harbor. American patriots were fearful that Ft. McHenry – and perhaps […]
Read More By the Dawn’s Early LightBy Charlie Johnston I don’t think my sporadic bouts of illness have much to do with my health (though I am delighted to have most of my bodily systems booted back up after my recent bout with Covid). Rather, I think health issues are one of the leashes, prods, and canes God uses to direct […]
Read More It is Now Us in His Winnowing FanBy Charlie Johnston Dallas, Texas – Ever since the turn of the millennium, I have argued that the left (in politics, media, and culture) has been following the path of dehumanizing opponents that is always the forerunner of prison and death camps. Ironically, murderously unhinged movements are almost always fueled by a bizarre sense of […]
