The cost of living continues to rise as we of the working class awake to “another day, another dollar,” knowing full well we must do so in order to support ourselves, our families, and the growing number of unemployed who rely on us for their “benefits.”
This is the month in times past we used to celebrate such wicked conceptions as “Father’s Day.” Now we pause (for a whole month…and large parts of the others) to pay homage to sexual perversity and gender confusion.
“On June 17, 2015, everything changed.” So wrote Anne Wilson Smith on the first page of her new book, Charlottesville Untold: Inside Unite The Right, published by Shotwell Publishing in Columbia, South Carolina.

Things continue to unravel at the Southern Baptist Convention (Hold your applause until the end, please).
In the fall of 1963, first-year Alabama Governor George C. Wallace, who already had national ambitions, was facing an image problem.

I used to consider the practice of what is absurdly called “Daylight Saving Time” to be the premiere example of the gullibility of mankind. Then came the reaction to Covid (or, as we call it in Alabama, “The Rona”). Covid coyly told DST, “Hold my beer.” To borrow from Forrest Gump, I’m not a smart man.

First we had C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters in 1942, a classic apologetic novel written from the perspective of a senior tempter in the service of “Our Father Below,” offering sagely advice to his nephew, Wormwood.
