Reflecting in the aftermath of July 4th reminds us that the craziness sweeping the country is fundamentally out of national character and goes way beyond politics and endless election cycle madness.

We know it’s time to resist creeping tyranny and reclaim precious possessions — our freedoms and rights. It’s time to become active in the patriot cause, knowing that — just as the sun comes up in the east — persistence, courage, and the truth of our cause are the shield and sword that assure victory.

The resurrection is real and changes everything. Easter is the commemoration and celebration of the single event that transformed the world forever.
As we connect the dots and put together the puzzle of what's going on globally, and here at home, we must first take ourselves out of denial, overcome the normalcy bias, and recognize that everything is different now than it has been at any previous time in history.

America’s enemies never stop scheming about the ways in which they can bring the United States down. China, our greatest external strategic enemy, already has a plan to gain control of America through the next pandemic and United Nations agency channels.
We stand on the shoulders of so many who came before us who were willing to give their lives for freedom and equal opportunity. We are called to do no less.
A great under-reported story of our present troubled time in America is how a small group of patriotic citizens in North Dakota stood up to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and utterly defeated them.
