Longstanding wisdom observes: small minds discuss people; average minds discuss events; great minds discuss ideas. America’s Founding Fathers wrote of ‘self-evident truths’ relating to the Creator. They made consequential statements about the inalienable rights of individual men (and women) endowed to them by the Creator. They boldly asserted belief in
Founding father John Adams could fairly be called ‘spiritually intuitive’—he is the source of the famous warning: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other…” (italics added) Adams’ son, John Quincy Adams (or “JQA”)—who became the sixth President of the United States—seems also to have had a spiritual sense about America and its founding. Much like Benjamin
To the American patriot, throughout the first 250 years of America’s existence and hopefully onto the next 250 years, the title of this post captures the spirit of the nation as he believes it was founded and intended to be…the very basis for taking the stand that something so fundamental

Don Surber knows America, and he writes in plainspeak. His piece on Trump v. the Imperial Judiciary captures the opinion of an overwhelming majority of Americans…they are running out of patience with arrogant men and women in robes. If only John Roberts had a clue… _________________ Trump v. the imperial
Seth Keshel is a friend and a pure patriot. Ten years ago probably only his friends and family knew him; now millions around the world do. He’s an example of how new American heroes rise to the occasion…not from some process of elitist credentialing, but out of the goodness of
Take note…Emerald Robinson doesn’t play games, and she has excellent sources. ______________________ From Emerald Robinson’s Substack: We can say with confidence that there is nothing personal about the 4/9/2025 Presidential Memorandum targeting fired CISA director Chris Krebs.
