“Don’t Know Much About History”
George Orwell wrote in his classic novel, 1984: “Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”
So, there’s a battle over history. That battle continues in our day.

Separation of Church and State
I heard of a man who was tired of having gasoline stolen from his garage, so he poured sugar into his gas can and waited. Sure enough, a few days later he heard there was a young man from the neighborhood looking for a new engine. Gasoline engines are not designed to burn sugar!

The Constitution – Worth Celebrating, Not Trashing
September 17th each year marks the historic moment in “the year of our Lord 1787” when the U.S. Constitution was signed in Philadelphia.
This was a great milestone in world history. More of the constitutions around the world have been patterned after our nation’s governing document than any other frame of government.

Parents and Education
Parents will be held responsible by God for their children’s education, says the Bible. This was a view shared by the majority of America’s founders. But today there is a great defiance against this on the part of many in our educational establishment. Many leaders in the educational system seem to think they know better than the parents as to what should and should not be taught.

Time to Act
We are all familiar with the expressions, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” or, “A stitch in time saves nine,” meaning it is wise to catch a problem early, while it is small and manageable, rather than to wait until it has grown and become a serious threat. We understand this with things like weeds in our garden or cancer. But somehow, we neglect it in the arenas of politics and culture.

Schools As “Religion-Free Zones”?
The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a new case related to school prayer. This story began in 2015 when high school football Coach Joe Kennedy got on his knee at mid-field after a game and thanked God quietly. Some of the players voluntarily joined him in this huddle.

The U.S. Constitution Under Fire
By God’s grace, the American experiment has lasted for 232 years now, since the Constitution went into effect on April 30, 1789. Every political leader that is sworn in agrees to uphold the Constitution.
But now in our day of rampant political correctness, of Marxist revisionism, of “egg shell plaintiffs,” of “safe spaces,” of “hate speech” (which is often just the other guy’s opinion), even the Constitution has recently been labeled as “harmful.” It might offend someone.

Washington D.C. Statehood is Unconstitutional
On Thursday, April 22nd, 216 members of a powerful special interest faction within the U.S. House of Representatives, the Democratic Party, passed H.R. 51, attempting to usurp the power of the People of the United States under the Constitution, converting the District of Columbia from the federal seat of government to a state.
H.R. 51 is clearly unconstitutional.

No Politician Has the Right to Dictate, Contradict or Contravene Religious Beliefs
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, (working through her city’s director of public health), declares a Romanian church a “public nuisance.” “We will shut you down, we will cite you, and if we need to, we will arrest you, and we will take you to jail,” she tells this small group of former Soviet bloc Christians who refuse to bow to her power.

In Chicago, Schools Re-Write History With “1619” Lies
In Chicago Public Schools, captive students are being indoctrinated to believe that one of the very first societies in the world to end slavery was actually a monster defined by the evils of slavery — almost as if this monstrous nation had invented it.

The Attempt to Tear Down Images of George Washington—a Tale of Two Revolutions
Could a contrast between the American Revolution and the French Revolution be relevant to today’s conflicts? I think so. The attempt to demote historic icons, like George Washington, is a case in point.George Washington grew up as a gentleman farmer in Virginia and was a fourth generation slave-owner. But by the end of his life, he had decided slavery was immoral and so at his death, he freed his slaves and made provision for them.
