This is the most powerful Symbol of my People, The Jews. This is the Western (or Wailing) Wall, in Jerusalem, the last remnant of the Second Temple, destroyed by the Romans in the year 70CE. When I was there, in 2007, this took me, and shook me to my core. A constant reminder of the …

Celebrate Independence Day
The Declaration of Independence, along with the US Constitution, is arguably the free world's finest attestation to the values that underpin the world's most influential Republic. Reflect on it today, and contemplate the consequences if Americans embrace tyranny right here at home. Think about the phrase, "Consent of the Governed". Does that still resonate …
Weekly Photo Challenge – Door
I am an Art Deco enthusiast. This is a door on a bank in Philadelphia. I think it's an excellent example. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/door/
(poundsign)LoveWins! Really??
For the past week, homosexuals and their advocates and supporters have been literally dancing in the streets, since five lawyers in black robes "gave" them the "right" to government-sanctioned "marriage". That ruling, and a couple before it, has taken the issue out of the hands of the People, and in the case of Proposition 8 …
I’m having trouble corralling my thoughts on this week’s Supreme Court rulings
My brain seems to be a tangle of thoughts, concerns, and emotions, given the momentous rulings handed down by the nine Ivy League lawyers in black robes in Washington, D.C. Over the experience of humanity, for the last 5,000 years of recorded human history, those nine people have in one stroke, deemed that two people …

How are Homosexual Activists like Islamist Terrorists?
...and, for that matter, like most big Liberal groups and organizations. If someone disagrees with them, or seems to threaten them in any way, they try to (and sometimes do) destroy them. They can't simply write an op-ed in the New York Times or Washington Post. No, they undertake boycott campaigns against businesses which deny their …

Photo Challenge: Broken
This is a wall at the (former) fortress of Masada, in Israel. Where the remaining inhabitants committed mass suicide rather than be slaughtered by the Romans. Wall broken. People, not so much. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/
As Usual, Dave Carter on Ricochet Says it Better
The title of his piece is "Tolerance and the Despot". The subject is what liberals call Tolerance, but what is really Tyranny. I recommend that all of my readers and followers head on over to Ricochet and read Dave's post. Thank you all. Oh, and I heartily recommend that you join Ricochet. The people there are …

Connections…Sport fans riot; Mob rule; and Liberalism
I was reading this weekend the story of what happened in Lexington, Kentucky, when the University of Kentucky basketball team, undefeated during the regular season, lost their Final Four match to Wisconsin. There were riots in the streets, with college students tipping over cars and setting fires, to express their anger at their team's loss. …

I am Sad Today
It has been very disheartening this week, reading about all the good people whose lives and livelihoods have been under murderous assault, both in the USA and abroad. In Kenya, many Christian students were murdered by ruthless terrorists, at their school. The death toll is nearly 150! These students were studying, bothering no one. …
