Freedom for Iran
I vividly remember the Islamic Revolution of 1979 when Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran and brought with him the darkness of theocratic evil.
Though the Shah (Mohammad Reza Pahlavi) was no saint, before the mullahs took over, Iran and Israel were America’s closest allies in the Middle East. You read that right. Closest allies.
Now forty-seven years later, the protests by the Iranian people against their authoritarian government just might usher in a rebirth of the nation–and increased peace in the Middle East.
Pray for freedom for the Persian people -and how the USA might help.
Affirmative Action RIP
The U.S. Supreme Court recently struck down Affirmative Action in college admissions.
AA was as unfair and un-American as the recent atheist (woke) meltdown over country singer Jason Aldean’s #1 hit song “Try That In A Small Town.” Due to our biblical heritage, we Americans believe in freedom and equal opportunity for people.
In this article, I want to share Victor Davis Hanson’s wisdom on Affirmative Action while engaging in a little critical thinking.
May Affirmative Action rest in peace.
Why I Changed My Mind About Juneteenth
I didn’t grow up in a segregated world nor one where human slavery was practiced– at least locally. Some Muslim nations still quietly tolerate it in other parts of the world.
I’d never heard of Juneteenth until a few years ago. At first blush, I assumed it was being promoted for race hustling purposes, aimed to divide the country further, or advance the march of cultural Marxism in the USA. I was hesitant and slightly cynical.
Then I changed my mind. I now conclude it is worthy of great celebration in our nation.
Here’s why.
