There are quite a number of current event issues swirling around in contemporary America’s public square. Most of these issues are treated by commentators, and the press, like they are the most complex questions ever asked by mankind. The dialectics of Socrates, the meditations Of St. Augustine, the mathematical theorems of Gödel, the mind vs. body dualism of Descartes, the
Written in conjunction with guest writer LRM. “NEVER FORGET” were the words echoed across this country during the aftermath of the horrific attack on the World Trade Towers on September 11, 2001. I, for one, will never forget the image of people jumping 107 stories to their death rather than being burned alive. That image will always stick with me.
By now most Americans know that Sharia is the sacred law of the religion of Islam. Many Americans don’t know, however, what the reality of that law is.

By Guest Writer LRM To say that the Democrats are not happy right now is perhaps a bit of an understatement. They are outraged, furious and looking for blood. The Mueller investigation, 2 years and 30 million dollars later, failed to find any collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. Russia meddled in the 2016 election as it has in
