Hopefully, there are some Americans left who just might recall despite the distraction of beer parties, barbeque, picnics, and firework displays that perhaps one of the most influential documents in human history was penned. That was the Declaration of Independence. The Continental Congress of the 13 Colonies formally established their severance from King George's government in England. Thomas Jefferson was the founding father who was the…

Laughing at Me

No way to get off of this train

Living will always be pain

For some more than others

Some claim that your love smothers,

No way to…

In just 5 months for a Biden disputed presidency we have a wide open border, Governor Abbott has had to declare an emergency in 13 south Texas counties, the Mexican drug cartels are making 25 million a week on human trafficking, and inflation has already caused a 5 % jump in the consumer price index. China has been emboldened to test Taiwan air space with record incursions of fighters and medium bombers. Iran…

There are troublesome lessons from history not being learned by today’s Biden Regime. Typical of modern Democrat administrations. If we have to compromise our military secrets, give away corporate security, and even allow the Chinese to catch up in the arms and technological race, the left will embrace these actions. When it comes to endangering national security it’s no sweat for the Democrats. One might recall that…

For All of This

I’m a very sentimental man

Watching life and love slipping through my hands

Always wondering at the failure of all my plans

For what it’s worth I’m a very sentimental man,…

Prisoner of Your Memory

 You’re just a prisoner of your memory

Darling I mean that literally

Don’t talk to me condescendingly

You’re just a prisoner of your memory,…

According to Gordon Chang author of the book “The Coming Collapse of China” and many others, a recent pass over by US spy satellites revealed new missile silos under construction in China. Those in denial say that this is simply a tactic out of the “Art of War” ancient Chinese strategy of misdirection, but it is, in reality, an ominous signal. In unison with Iran on the fast track to obtain a nuclear arsenal…

Just a Man

Lord send me an angel

Not a victim or a soft sell

Lord send me an angel

And maybe only time will tell,

You’re looking for a…

Plundering Your Dreams

I peered into the depth of a cloud

Thought I heard my name called out loud

Was my invisible angel disavowed?

Told her I lived within my own shroud,…

Once upon a time we had responsible governance in America. We had lawmakers who recognized that they worked for the people not the other way around, but somewhere along the way we got lost! Truth was merely an aging concept that just didn’t seem relevant anymore. Something changed in America and it became an awful sight to behold in our streets and our classrooms the viciousness of lies reared its ugly head, and I fear we are lost…

Why You're an Extremist

The other day I was trying to access a particular conservative website about a recent event, but the library's server blocked the page! Reason listed? The site was labeled "Extremist". Now even public libraries have gotten into the act of social canceling! I thought that public libraries paid for by tax dollars were supposed to be non-political! I'm…

Absence

The absence of love is the absence of everything

As if there is no rebirth in the spring

A beautiful bird that can't even sing

The warmth of tears that sting,

The absence of air and I'm exiled in space

Far removed from your perfume and lace

Where there was love not a trace

Sometimes I could just give up on the…

Ghosts on the Lawn

What am I going to do with my life?

Questions that cut just like a knife

Baby you caused all this strife

What am I going to do with my life?

You were just a little slow and too high

Thought you were just a bit shy

Then I found out just how you could lie

As usual, no one upon whom I can rely,…

17th June 1775, the winds of war are beginning to blow as the Continental Army infiltrates the landscape around the Charleston, Massachusetts Peninsula and a hill overlooking the neck at Copp's Hill which is already in Continental Army possession. As some British officers and sailors in Boston Harbor are aware, the Americans are building earthen fortifications with wooden platforms for the sharpshooters. Redoubts are being dug and…

6th June 1944, the world holds its breath as Operation "Overlord" is finally launched after several days of bad weather on the French coast of Normandy. Although the plan has been underway for years now General Ike Eisenhower has his doubts, and little known to most, has already drafted his resignation should the invasion get thrown back into the sea. The largest amphibious attack in world history will be unleashed against shoreline…

It was late in the evening. I'd had a rough day. At the print shop where I was making copies, I overheard 2 people talking about the vax shot and it only reminded me more of how simple and easily manipulated most people can be. What looked like a veteran who appeared to be physically fit was telling an aging, over weight , print shop spouse and owner how relieved he was to have gotten the shot. She, looking very sickly, and exhausted,…

All of the supposed concerned parties in human history have a common denominator. The statists, the collectivists, the socialists, Communists, the Marxists, all claiming to want to quell starvation, lack of opportunity, class discrimination, or racial inequity. Sounds noble doesn't it? Somehow these magnanimous personalities claim that they want to do right by mankind, but history tells us a daunting story about these megalomaniacs who…

With the 1st Amendment right of freedom of speech Americans have long cherished this form of expression, but until recent years the Democrats and the left have sought to cancel any speech they deem in conflict with their own interests. Iranian advisor to the Obama's Valerie Jarrett said in 1976 that she would use freedom of speech in the United States against our country in order to establish Islam in America. With the 5 major social…

Sight Unseen

You move on you move on so well

Distancing yourself from my living hell

Will I pull out of this dive? Only time will tell

If only I'd heard the toll of the bell,

My elegant queen you seemed so serene

Your heart was foolish like that of a teen

Here now I live caught somewhere in between

Just a broken heart…

The Foolish Few

Walking down the catacombs of recollection

Can love ever have a resurrection?

Well, I just don't know

Trying to ease the pain and let it go,

How does passion transform into new fallen snow?

These things I can feel but never know

Down these dark corridors I often go

Yet, I still come up with the sum of…
