Last year, Hollywood released a gem of a movie entitled The Help; a film based on an equally popular book. The film featured several intertwined stories, but the central focus was on a terribly dark portion of our nation’s history. Deep in the heart of Jim Crow Mississippi, a young white woman sets out to…
There’s an iconic photo depicting a harried firefighter—helmet #28—in narrow, jam-packed stairwell. In the midst of chaos someone had the presence of mind to capture a tragic piece of our nation’s history. The day was September 11th, 2001. As terrified workers run past, the firefighter was running UP towards the inferno, not DOWN towards…
How would you—the frustrated immigrant who stood and watched millions flood in ahead of him—feel, if you petitioned your future government to complain, and you were simply told “Look, we’re doing this because frankly, both parties want and need the votes.

It was “historic.” It was “once-in-a-lifetime.” So much so, that many voted for the man on this basis alone. To be certain, there is no doubt that his presidency is indeed historic.

In the popular flick Marley & Me, the protagonist’s friend—a fellow journalist—is sent to Colombia for to write a piece on the drug trafficking, because he’s got a guy that can “put him next to Pablo Escobar.” Pablo Escobar, as you may know, was the infamously violent Colombian drug warlord that put his nation on the…
Just over a month ago, the North Metro Tea Party Patriots (NMTPP) found themselves quite homeless, when the restaurant which had graciously served as their gathering place had to sell to new ownership. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and Jack Rogers, the NMTPP President soon found his group taken in by the equally…
Just a few days ago, the world lost one of the foremost champions of conservative principles. She was a champion of personal liberty and real freedom—working to reverse decades of economic oppression and suffocating progressivism in her country—yet the attacks on her work were unrelenting.
