American Patriot Series – Samuel Adams, The Man Who Kept the Revolution Alive
Thomas Jefferson called him “truly the Man of the Revolution.” Governor Thomas Hutchinson called him the greatest incendiary in the King’s dominions. Both were describing the same Bostonian: Samuel Adams, the organizer who turned local anger into a continental cause. About 1772 – Demanding the troops leave after the Massacre. Adams was born in Boston on September 27, 1722, cousin of John Adams and heir to a malt-making family. He studied at Harvard and even argued, in a thesi

Why California Diesel Is $8: It Isn’t a Shortage of Crude Oil

The missing piece is diesel that u

Commentary: Stop pretending November 2024 was “observed”
California does not invite observers as a favor. Elections Code § 15104 says vote-by-mail observers get notice and sufficiently close access—close enough to see envelopes, signatures, and whether staff are following the rules. Chain-of-custody rules exist so a ballot can be followed from the drop box to the sealed bag.

They Won the Vote. Then They Had to Defend It Themselves.
On September 9, Measure B proponents Laura Hobbs and Richard Gallardo appeared on Kim Yeater’s Take Your Power Back show and described the lawsuit in plain terms: citizens wrote a charter amendment, collected signatures, won at the ballot box, and Sacramento sued them while their own county board stepped aside.

Why does this iconic phrase have such a pull on us?
In the beginning, when he created mankind to be in relationship with Him, God gave us freedom of choice so we would have the free will to choose Him—or not—so we would not have a coerced relationship with Him. To this day, each individual has to make the choice to accept God; no one can do it for you. That is true freedom. He hardwired it into us. Freedom of our will is a longing in the deepest parts of us. Down through the ages, we see that ‘governments’ have been organized
