David & Frosty’s Excellent Adventure-Bicycling the Continental Divide (Chapter 1)
David astride his touring bike at sunset on McDonald Lake with sun reflecting off the water while it’s still in the sky. Photograph by Frosty Wooldridge How do you describe climbing into one of the most beautiful mountain throne rooms of North America? By Frosty Wooldridge: Frosty Wooldridge “When you leave the confines of your daily routine, it takes a certain kind of courage to break away from the moorings of constancy, security and comfort.
Coulter Bay, Grand Tetons, Fleeting Moment Of Childhood
Photography by Frosty Wooldridge, Coulter Bay, Grand Tetons. By Frosty Wooldridge: Frosty Wooldridge On your bicycle journey, there’s always that special “moment” that pops out of nowhere. It flashes in front of you much like an ephemeral lightning bolt out of the heavens. It strikes your eyes, your senses, your feelings and your emotions. Sometimes it makes you cry. Sometimes it makes you laugh. Occasionally it makes you frown. At other times, it makes you contemplate your life.
The Government Handbook
By Ron Edwards: Ron Edwards When we first learn how to drive an automobile, there are both written and hands on instruction. There are irrefutable principles that must be applied in order to make it to your destination. For instance, keeping your hands on the steering wheel and making sure to drive in your lane is not negotiable. Only idiots or those completely misinformed would drive in such a manner as to foolishly bring about harm to themselves or others.
The Voluptuousness Of Living
By Frosty Wooldridge: Frosty Wooldridge “Everything is downhill from here, ‘cept what’s up…it’s all in your attitude.”— the late Katie Lee, Jerome, Arizona, singer, environmental activist. Long ago, before modern communications, before electric lights, before mobility—people wrote letters—shaping eachsentence with care, lamplight over their shoulders, reflections, meditations and invitations. Those letters lie moldering in garrets and museums now, but the need for them never changed.
Galileo and the Medicis brought Revolution and Truth
By Jeffrey Foss, PhD: Practically everyone knows that Galileo is a heroic figure in the rise of modern science. Most people do not know, however, that the scientific revolution that Galileo launched relied on the support and protection of the Medicis. The very name of this family signifies the marriage of power and wealth that strikes fear and loathing into the hearts of those among us who – how shall I put it? – lean to the left.
Exploit the Sharp Edge of Your Life’s Sword
Three friends on a coast-to-coast bicycle adventure across America. Standing in front of Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. Photography by Frosty Wooldridge By Frosty Wooldridge: Frosty Wooldridge Back in high school, you attended classes without much appreciation of your reasons for education. You complied with educational protocol for all teenagers.
Obstruction of Injustice is Not a Crime
By Jake MacAulay: Jake MacAulay For two years we heard the drumbeat of “Collusion, Collusion” Now, we keep hearing the phrase “Obstruction of Justice.” I’m curious about this phrase and I think it deserves some examination. “Obstruction of justice” is what they call a “process crime” and falls into the same category as “contempt of court,” and “perjury.” These acts are prosecuted because they are considered to harm the public interest in the functioning and integrity of the judicial system.
NRA Leadership Infighting
By James Hall: BATR – James Hall The present National Rifle Association dust-up between Wayne LaPierre and Oliver North has many supporters of the pro gun organization concerned. For the casual observer, the underlying dispute does not appear on the radar screen. The persona of Wayne LaPierre has been a NRA fixture for decades, while Oliver North bears the baggage of the surreptitious Iran–Contra affair.
If You Don’t Know Your Rights You Don’t Have Any
By Ron Edwards: Ron Edwards We know that ignorance of the law is no excuse when someone engages in illegal activity, whether they meant to or not. Unfortunately, the government does not seek to recognize or protect your rights if you do not know them. In fact, rather than making sure that Americans understand their unalienable rights which come from God, government school indoctrinators play intellectual games.
Jihad and Mental Immune System
By Amil Imani: Amil Imani It is safe to say that before the 9/11 attacks; most Americans did not have the slightest knowledge of Islam and why a group of Arabs murdered so many innocent people in the name of their God. Some 18 years has passed since that dreadful day.
Using the Past to Destroy the Future
By J.D. Pendry: We are a country of immigrants. Have you heard that? A decent political meme maybe, but is it true? Not quite. We are a nation of citizens who bought into a Constitutional Republic, the foundation of Judeo-Christian values, and the exceptional concept of individual liberty. Many survived perilous journeys across the Atlantic only to perish during the first year of the Jamestown and Plymouth settlements of the early 1600s. These early settlers were primarily Protestant Christians.
Author’s New Book Examines the Spiritual Darkness That is Destroying America and the Church
By Greg Holt: Greg Holt America is not what it once was; we have drifted away, far, far away from what and who we used to be as a nation. The Founding Fathers based and drafted our Constitution, our very form of government (a Republic, not a Democracy) on God. Our unique form of government was never intended to work with or for a people that deny God, nor was it intended to work with or function as a socialistic form of government.
3M Crash May be the Shape of Things to Come
By David Haggith: David Haggith Shares of 3M Co. plummeted toward its biggest one-day decline in over 30 years, after the industrial, health-care and consumer products company reported missed profit and revenue expectations, slashed its full-year outlook, and said it was cutting 2,000 jobs…. The percentage decline was second only to the 26% plunge on Oct. 19, 1987. That is the day referred to as Black Monday, with the Dow registered its biggest-ever one-day crash with a 22.6% tumble.
Truth and Justice the new American Way
By J.D. Pendry: The Mueller investigation cost taxpayers around $30 million. More that half of it going into the pockets of his 17 Lawyers. It took Mueller’s school of sharks and legion of FBI investigators 2 years to tell everyone with properly functioning brain cells what we and Mueller already knew. There was no Russian collusion, zero, zip, nada. We also learned the Mueller crew must’ve flunked the basic precepts of the American legal system.
Is the American Church Dying?
By Jerry Newcombe: Jerry Newcombe One often hears dire reports in the media about the impending doom of the Christian church. But Glenn Stanton of Focus on the Family recently wrote an article in the Federalist that showed such reports may be premature. Stanton notes, “Religious faith in America is going the way of the Yellow Pages and travel maps, we keep hearing. It’s just a matter of time until Christianity’s total and happy extinction, chortle our cultural elites. Is this true?
Wake UP America - Capitol Hill Outsider
By Amil Imani: Amil Imani With the arrivals of massive Muslims to America, our culture and our way of life forever altered. By now, most Americans know that Islam and the US Constitution are incompatible. Then what should be do? We, in the United States of America need to resist Islam’s encouragement while it is still gathering momentum, unless we wish to end up in the same fix as Europe.
Some people did something – Where does Christianity make its stand? - Capitol Hill Outsider
By J.D. Pendry: On March 20, 2019, Breitbart reported “Twelve French Churches Attacked, Vandalized In One Week.” Without evidence, we cannot make a connection between these attacks and the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral. But, shouldn’t we at least be a little suspicious. The article further reported an average of two Christian churches per day were vandalized during 2018. Yet, none of this was mentioned during the coverage of the Notre Dame fire.
“If I were the devil” – America’s Culture War - Capitol Hill Outsider
By J.D. Pendry: JD Pendry Some of you from my generation, maybe earlier maybe later, remember Paul Harvey. Even during my younger days, I enjoyed his commentaries and his “Rest of the Story” broadcasts. In 1965, he broadcast a rather prophetic warning to Americans. “If I Were the Devil” was apparently reworked by him over the years, but the message delivered as only Paul Harvey could is more appropriate today than any other time I can recall.
Man Claims NYC Officials are Abetting Neighbor's Theft of His Property
John Hockenjos, from a 2012 photo. By Selwyn Duke: Selwyn Duke A man’s home is supposed to be his castle. But this is no longer the case in New York City, according to a Brooklyn man who says that Big Apple officials are aiding and abetting a next-door neighbor’s attempt to steal his property. It has been a long ordeal for John Hockenjos, 62, and his wife Irina, one whose twists and turns include a false arrest by the NYPD.
The OKC Bombing Coverup of the Middle East Terrorist Cell
By JW Bryan: J.W. Bryan The Oklahoma City terrorist attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building happened on April 19, 1995 killing 168 people, allegedly by a massive homemade bomb concealed in a rental truck in front of the building. Terry Nichols was convicted in a federal court and faced state proceedings. He was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole when the jury deadlocked on the death sentence.
“Unplanned”: a story about government sanctioned evil
By J.D. Pendry: Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. John 3:20 A few weeks back, I wrote American Genocide and the New World Order. The article put forth the thesis that America is being steadily depopulated through abortion, now more than 60 million, and that population is being increasingly replaced by immigration, most of it illegal.
Be Of One Accord
By Rob Pue: Rob Pue In Matthew 21, we read of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. After the disciples brought the donkey to Jesus for Him to enter the city upon, we read, starting in verse 7, “they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and He sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
A Coup Wrapped in a Hoax Inside a Vendetta
By Robert Owens: Dr. Robert Owens After 675 days of investigation, 2,800 subpoenas, 500 warrants, and 500 witness interviews here are a few things that never happened in the time-consuming, money-wasting, slanderous attempt to erase the results of the 2016 election known as the Mueller investigation: After endless speculation and daily smears Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and other people whose supposed legal jeopardy was the subject of around-the-clock media speculation in the last year...
The Hero Aura - Capitol Hill Outsider
By J.D. Pendry: Not every person of military service is a hero. Not every person who serves does so out of patriotism. Many are compelled into service for varying reasons. They may be obliged to continue a family tradition. Service may be the means to pay for their education. They may look to the service to give them a marketable skill. There are a multitude of reasons. And on the political side?
Collapse of Society Almost Complete
By James Hall: BATR – James Hall The experiences from South America provide lessons totally applicable to the United States. If you think that the bread lines in Venezuela cannot come to our country, take a look at what is happening in the rest of Latin America. While economic failures contribute to the slide in prosperity and government expansion adds to greater indebtedness, the complicity of their citizens provides the environment for even bigger demands. Daniel J.
Democrats Are Literally As Bad For America As Foreign Enemies
By Ron Edwards: Ron Edwards Several years ago, I engaged in a rather vigorous discussion with a good friend about both politics and Christianity. He had been a life-long Democrat who could not be torn away from the golden donkey. My friend blindly supported the Democrat party no matter what. He believed that Democrat party policies were good for America and that it was the policies of the Republican party that were harmful to the republic.
There is an Education Scandal Way Beyond What’s in the News
By J.D. Pendry: Do you really think this college admissions scandal is new? A new racket? Just look at some of those we know supposedly educated at highfalutin institutions of higher learning. Our political families? People who would die rather than hob nob with the peasants over at the public school. It’s always been that way. Daddy donates a few million and junior is admitted. Even if junior is dumb as a box of rocks. President’s kid? Pick any school.
If You Haven’t Been Wounded, You’re Not in the Battle
By Rob Pue: Rob Pue Are you under attack? Does the world hate you? If you’re a Christian, I mean. The sheer intensity of the hatred toward Christians — and the hostility of the attacks – is hotter and meaner now than I have ever seen it. If you haven’t suffered any attacks personally, in this day and age, I would suggest you carefully examine your heart as to just how serious and effective you have been with your faith. Is it REAL faithfulness to God? Or it just for show?
AOC Once Again Demonstrates a Lack of Intelligence With Her ‘fix’ for Student Loan Debt
By Greg Holt: Greg Holt This writer used to think one of the dumbest politicians ever to draw breath was Nancy no-mind Pelosi. I have officially changed my mind. The dumbest (there is a lot of competition out there) individual in all of Congress has got to be Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. This is no joke, and I am not trying to be funny, AOC’s ideas are not only ignorant and stupid quite often, but they are also dangerous.
The Mess of Legal Immigration: Multi-Cultural Invasion — Environmental Consequences - Capitol Hill Outsider
By Frosty Wooldridge: Frosty Wooldridge Part 1: Importing crime, drugs, diseases and cultural chaos. If you ask average Americans about legal immigration, you hear responses mostly in the positive. Except if you ask Americans from Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Miami and other immigration-overwhelmed cities. Most of our major cities, where welfare departments cater to legal and illegal immigration, find themselves flooded with immigrants from around the world.
Random Thoughts V
By Robert Owens: Dr. Robert Owens If Planned Parenthood was selling puppy body parts they would be shut down yesterday. The thirties and forties are a blur with work and family. The fifties start to slow down and in the sixties you start to get comfortable with yourself, or not. Before Obama: We had no ISIS, no BLM, No ANTIFA, and no war on cops. With Obama: We had a no-growth economy we were told was “The New Normal” Sometimes wisdom is best said with silence. You may have lost but you are not lost.
You Are What You Eat - Part 1
By Dr. Mike Spaulding: Dr. Mike Spaulding Thy words were found and I ate them, and Thy words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Thy name, O LORD God of hosts. Jeremiah 15:16 No one argues with the adage, “You are what you eat,” today. It is a generally accepted axiom. The meaning behind the phrase is clear: the type, quality, and quantity of physical food an individual eats will have a direct relationship to their health.
The Snake and Different Shades of Pale
By J.D. Pendry: When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind” when they were created. – Genesis 5:1-2 Jesus loves the little children All the children of the world Red, brown, yellow Black and white They are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children Of the world. Original Lyrics by C. Herbert Woolston Mankind. Each one of us made in God’s likeness. Each one of us a different shade of pale.
Accredited Universities Embarrass and Rob Americans—So Why Cheat to Get in! - Capitol Hill Outsider
By Don Boys, PhD: Don Boys The media are all in a dither after the revelation Monday that the Justice Department has accused fifty wealthy parents (including two famous movie stars) of paying huge bribes to get lackluster children accepted at elite universities. Such parents are desperate since the average college freshman reads at a seventh grade level.
The Sky Over South Africa is Dark with Gathering Vultures
By Don Boys, PhD: Don Boys My wife and I watched as huge, ominous Old World vultures circled overhead while elephants, giraffes, hippopotami, and water buffalos struggled for life as they grazed along the bank of the Zambezi River in Zambia. Southern African nations were experiencing a major drought reflected in the grazing animals along the river. Their ribs could be easily seen as they struggled to find enough food to keep them alive.
Learning The Lesson: Where Our Forefathers Drew The Line!
By Bradlee Dean: Bradlee Dean “Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.” – Benjamin Franklin How many times I have had to reiterate that “We the People” in this country are the government (Preamble to the US Constitution), and those who are to serve “We the People” “derive their just powers from the consent of the governed,” and that they do, in fact, work for YOU Americans, and not you for them! Americans, are you not sick and tired of being sick and tired concerning the scandals, the...
Where Will Our Blindness to Ugly History Lead?
By J.D. Pendry: My last article was a brief history of the Selective Service System, a discussion of the draft, Vietnam era draft resistors, and whether recent Department of Defense policy changes and court decisions could change the status of women and Selective Service Registration. I may have touched a nerve or two about an unpopular subject. But when you write about things many Americans lived through, the painted picture is not always a pretty one.
What If Trump Loses in 2020?
By Lloyd Marcus: Lloyd Marcus Over a year ago, my wife Mary and I moved from Florida to a tiny town in the hills of West Virginia to be closer to our ailing parents; population 500. There are five churches in town. I enjoyed the town’s patriotic July 4th parade and their faith-based Christmas parade. I walk half a mile daily to the post office. On one occasion, I entered while the postmaster was on the phone talking to a town local. The postmaster told the person every item in their mailbox.
Stem Cell Therapy: A New Model for Health Rejuvenation
By Frosty Wooldridge: Frosty Wooldridge Do you suffer from bad knees, hips rusted out, painful shoulders, bone on bone joints, Alzheimer’s, MS, MD, PTSD, TBI and a host of other maladies of the baby-boomer generation? You hear conversations about it, but much of the time, you’re not sure because of so much controversy in the news. These days, you cannot trust much of the news because of incredible bias by reporters, TV talk show hosts and dozens of other different filters.
China’s Expanding Political and Military Footprint in Africa
By Kelleigh Nelson: Kelleigh Nelson As the saying goes, ‘Numerous grains of earth make a mountain, numerous drops of water form an ocean.’ As long as we keep advancing China-Africa cooperation, we will make even bigger achievements. (Excerpts from the joint interview Xi gave to media from BRICS countries in the Great Hall of the People on March 19, 2013.) Whatever they say, it is a fact that the Chinese come to Africa not just with engineers and scientists. They are coming with farmers.
Either America Will Live in Liberty Or Die in Socialist Despair
By Ron Edwards: Ron Edwards Ever since mankind began creating cities under the wicked leadership of Nimrod, people have been devising ways to dominate over the masses via coercion, deception and controlling the sources of information and academic instruction. Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev was a Soviet dictator wo led the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He was the first Secretary of the communist party of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964. He died in 1971.
Rule of the Harvest
By J.D. Pendry: In 1999, my mind was still focused on being an Army Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO). It seemed everywhere I looked, everything I read, and practically every conversation I heard was about the attributes new Soldiers just out of basic combat training lacked. The noise was coming from NCOs and officers. Maybe I was simply aging and needed to fade away as old Soldiers supposedly do. On October 1st, I did.
Jussie Smollett's Evil Academy Award Worthy Performance
By Lloyd Marcus: Lloyd Marcus I recently watched the original Jussie Smollett ABC interview on Youtube in which he claimed to have been attacked by racist homophobic Trump supporters.
Either Jesus Will Be Your King Or Your Man Made King Will Be Your God!
By Bradlee Dean: “We Have No King But King Jesus!” – The historic battle-cry of our Christian Forefathers Last week I wrote an article titled “Tyrants destroying Law Through Policy and then Calling It Peace!” And with that, I saw that my cup was running over while receiving illumination to do a bit more on this exposition (John 7:38), as Scripture states, “Freely you have received; freely give” (Matthew 10:8).
America’s World Class Middle Class
By J.D. Pendry: When he turned 45, my Father had been a coal miner for 30 years. His hair was white, his face rugged, and his body broken. In his day, the coal mine bosses didn’t want men his age. They wanted young men as Ernie Ford declared in his classic tune, to load sixteen tons. To find work, Dad migrated north to Chicago. We soon followed. There in a Chicago factory, he spent the rest of his working life before returning home to his beloved West Virginia.
Choosing Low Self-Esteem: Carrying the Mental Equivalent for Self-defeat
By Frosty Wooldridge: Frosty Wooldridge Millions of Americans live their lives with low self-esteem. Teenagers learn it from one or both parents. Others choose it by comparing themselves with movie stars.
Alyssa Milano Runner-Up for Stupid Award: Claims Democrats Are the Party FOR the People
By Greg Holt: Greg Holt I came across this wonderful, and sarcastic (Busted, I love sarcasm) article on Twitchy about the brilliant political analyst Alyssa Milano. You caught that sarcasm right? Anyways… It never ceases to amaze, mystify, and even entertain this author how Hollywood celebs among others can continue to be so ignorant. Their ignorance is bordering on outright stupidity if we are going to be honest here. Thank God for James Woods.
Are Blackface and Cultural Appropriation Always Racist?
By Don Boys, PhD: Don Boys The last few weeks have been tumultuous times in America with everyone looking into his past, especially his college yearbook, to be sure he did not transgress present day scruples regarding what is considered racism. It started with the churning of the Democrat Party in Virginia when Governor Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring became persona non grata at the same time because of their perceived racism.
