Paul&Paul – Chapter 2: “Six”
A small white saucer with a mismatched mug on it floated silently through the air across the dining room toward the hall that led to dad and mom’s room. The side of the mug read “World’s Best Dad” and was steaming with the black tea mom drank, but no one was carrying it. From deep […]
King Trump America – Money Might Be Right
Liberals have frothy group seizures every time Trump trots out yet another tyrannical order.

Are You An American Slave?
Are you free because you are a citizen of the United States? That’s what we’re taught. We all stand at sporting events to sing that we live in the “land of the free,” or at least most of us still stand. So, here’s a simple question for you: What is freedom? How would you explain it to a […]
