Black History Month -- Harriet Tubman and $20

This is a slightly edited & revised reprise from a post I wrote in May 2019.  Originally titled “A Slap in the Face”, it was not  a post written for Black History Month, but it ties in quite well, I think, with the ongoing struggles for equality that Black people have faced throughout history and still face today!  And it is also a post about one of Black History’s most remarkable heroes, a woman���

How feminism and women's suffrage undermine and attack biblical manhood

Feminism and women’s suffrage were and are a direct assault on biblical manhood. They evolved hand-in-glove. They are part and parcel of one another and one cannot exist without another.

Voter Apathy -- Part II (A Reprisal from 2018)

Yesterday morning I reprised Part I of a three-part post I wrote in 2018 about voter apathy.  Now, you might think that I should write a new one, rather than reprise one from six years ago, but as I read over it to refresh my memory, I find that these posts are every bit as relevant today as they were in 2018.  Today’s is less critical than Part I, more of an assessment of who is more likely to…

Time To Really Amend The Constitution

Time To Really Amend The Constitution

While doing a bit of research on the original sin of racism in the United States, I came across this quote by Benjamin Franklin. I find it a powerful argument for why the Constitution of the United States needs to be either completely re-written or deeply studied and amended. I say this because it was written entirely by white men. At the time, this made “sense” as nobody else was allowed to own…
