I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Democracy for Which It Stands!
- By W.H. Lamb
Wait just a moment. Something sounds “off” in the title to this article. “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the U.S.”…O.K. that’s right. “…and to the democracy for which it stands”. That sounds---hold on, that sounds wrong. Doesn’t the Pledge say, “…To the REPUBLIC for which it stands”? Come to think of it, it does! Was Rev. Francis Bellamy (a ‘Christian socialist and the author of our P.O.A.) wrong when he used the word “republic” rather than “democracy”? If the word ‘democracy’ means the same as ‘republic’ what’s the big deal? Au contraire, mon ami ou m’amie, the two words-- ‘Democracy and Republic’ have OPPOSITE meanings in the realm of governmental forms, and to assume equal meanings can lead a person—or a nation—into major troubles! Let’s delve into this confusion in more detail.

SALTY Sez – As The Saying Goes
- By Ray Simmons
It’s getting a bit harder to figure out what to talk about. Seems everybody just wants to lie to everybody else so nobody knows what’s really going on. And if somebody happens to tell the truth he’s called a racist or a no-good so-and-so who just can’t be trusted. Anybody who talks true enough and loud enough is apt to find himself cancelled. Which is about the next-best thing to being disposed. That thing called freedom of speech is being cancelled if you ask me. Along with it they are trying to cancel the Constitution, but they’ve been doing that, little by little, over the last hundred years. It’s just nobody pays much attention until it starts hurting the pocketbook. A lot of pocketbooks are starting to hurt and many Americans are waking up – perhaps a day late and a dollar short, as the saying goes.

China, Trade, COVID and the Lack of Consequences
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
It has been over a year since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. It has had a devastating effect on the world at large, and dealt a profound blow to the population right here in the US. Well over 500,000 Americans have succumbed to the disease, and although cases and hospitalizations seem to be slowing, its deadly hand is still on many Americans.
In the midst of all this has been the controversy as to how said virus escaped from a Wuhan, China laboratory. Was it purely incompetence? Was it a lack of safety precautions? Or, worst case, was it released intentionally to devastate world populations and economies so that China could move its chess pieces closer to world domination?

The Border Crisis May Be Coming to Your Kids' School
- By Betsy McCaughey
The Biden administration is scrambling to shelter thousands of unaccompanied minors crossing the southern border from Central America. The media are declaring the crush at the border a "crisis."
Truth is, this crisis could be heading to your school district. If your kids are in public school or you pay school taxes, you need to know the facts.
The media show photos of young migrant children. Don't fall for that. Three-quarters of these unaccompanied minors are young men ages 15 to 17. Think tattoos, not teddy bears.

Hyde Amendment, Yes. Shalanda Young, No
- By Star Parker
The Office of Management and Budget is the largest office in the executive branch of the federal government.
First and foremost, the OMB prepares the federal budget proposal that the president sends up to Congress. Given we're talking about the allocation of spending for almost $5 trillion of taxpayer funds, this is no small task.
President Biden accepted the withdrawal of his initial nominee for director of this substantial enterprise, Neera Tanden, when the numerous members of Congress she has personally attacked and disparaged over the years via her Twitter account expressed their displeasure.

The Biden Regime’s War against Texas
- By Mike Scruggs
Texas Governor’s Operation Lone Star Strikes Back
Texas is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population and has long been a bulwark of conservative and constitutional resistance against growing socialist and cultural Marxist ideology and power in Washington.The Biden Regime’s deliberate and massive open border crisis is aimed at destroying Texas and rebuilding it on the socialist, cultural Marxist model. The Federal Government is constitutionally responsible for immigration policy but under the new regime, it is fueling chaos rather than securing the border and assuring the economic welfare and public safety of the people of Texas. The Biden regime’s immigration policies are blatantly unethical and seriously violate the U.S. Constitution. Biden’s actions do not fit any model of common sense. In fact, they violate every principle of honor and threaten the survival of Texas and other states. They cannot be tolerated by Texas or any other state. On March 6, Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) launched Operation Lone Star, integrating the DPS and Texas National Guard to combat smuggling people and drugs into Texas.

When A Deed Is Done For Freedom
- By W.H. Lamb
James Lowell (1819-1891) opened his epic 1844 poem, “The Present Crisis,” with lines #1 and #2:
“When a deed is done for Freedom, through the broad earth’s aching
breast, Runs a thrill of joy prophetic, trembling on from east to west.”
People throughout the world may have a different perception of “freedom” -- i.e. what it means to them – how they define it. The Oxford Dictionary includes what I consider to be several pertinent definitions:
- The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants;
- The absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government;
- The power of self-determination attributed to the will; the quality of being independent of fate or necessity.
