By Guest Blogger: Farah Thompson Do we deserve 2020? Yes, we do. Before you get angry and huffy with me, let me explain. In all likelihood, you do not deserve the difficulties 2020 has brought so far. But I think it is more than fair to say, we as Americans deserve 2020. For decades and … More Guest Post: If we want America to be better, we must be better

We should be deathly afraid and fiercely opposed to a silent but deadly foe that is sweeping across our country: historical ignorance. American schools at every level are failing to teach even the most basic history, and as a result many young Americans are appallingly under-equipped to defend freedom. Here are some studies and statistics … More To Destroy a Nation, Destroy its Memory
Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays—second only to Thanksgiving, and probably tied with Christmas. It seems fitting to begin our “Giants of History” series with one of the heroes of the Revolutionary War. I considered exploring Thomas Jefferson—after all, he did pen the Declaration of Independence, the reason for our 4th of July … More Giants of History: The Courage of Nathan Hale

Nonetheless I’ve always preferred wide open spaces to city life, and I’ve fallen in love with country … More Proud to be an American: 10 Patriotic Country Songs
When the Hamilton musical brought the Founding Fathers to life through rap and song in 2016, it made Independence-era history more popular than it had been in a long time. Alexander Hamilton is the perfect picture of the American Dream—an orphan and immigrant who worked non-stop to become a critical part of the war effort … More History Has its Eyes on You
“For four long years, much of Europe had been under a terrible shadow. Free nations had fallen, Jews cried out in the camps, millions cried out for liberation. Europe was enslaved and the world prayed for its rescue. Here in Normandy, the rescue began.” Those are the words of President Ronald Reagan on June 6, … More Remembering D-Day: The Boys of Pointe du Hoc
For nearly 50 years, Roe v. Wade has ruled America’s judicial and legislative world with the assertion that killing a child is a “right.” But there has been a cultural revolution rumbling beneath the surface, and it’s about to break through. Even a few years ago, the biggest problem facing the pro-life movement was that … More The Fuse is Lit to End Roe v. Wade
The American flag flies high and proud in this part of the country, but the people here seem to have forgotten what it means.
