Over the past two years, freedom around the world has been attacked. Even in the United States. And not a single shot in anger was fired. No missile attacks. No drone strikes. No war. None of this was needed to devastate freedom. Instead two non military things were used to attack our freedom. A virus […]
Since about March of 2020, the world has been enthralled and rolled over the Sars CoV-2 virus otherwise known as COVID-19. We, the public, the citizenry of the world including here in the USA wondered how this could have happened and where this virus came from. Early on we heard rumors that it started in […]
I have been silent. I have been silent long enough. I have been silent for too long. Covid-19 has forced me into silence, so I tell myself. But that is not the whole truth. The whole truth is I was tired. I was mentally drained. I was shut down by social media. I almost gave […]
As I write this, it’s the beginning of the weekend. An American weekend. It’s not the heart of summer. It’s not a holiday. But it’s a celebration in any event. It’s an American weekend. Americans will be out mowing their laws, doing maintenance on their homes, working on their cars, spending time with family, friends […]
You hear it everywhere. You hear it from just about everyone. This November’s elections are the Most Important In Our Nation’s History. Don’t they say that about EVERY election? Well, there is some truth to the hyperbole, however. Every election IS important. Every election counts. And I mean every election, down to local Dog Catcher. […]
It’s a Saturday morning and I am out doing my week end rounds. But it’s a little different from a typical Saturday. The morning sunlight is just amazing. We are at that time of year when the sun is lower in the sky and after a few days of rain and wind, the air and […]
We are coming up on the one year anniversary of the election of President Donald J. Trump. A man that, in many ways, typifies America. Mr. Trump proved the old fashioned notion that parents used to tell their children. You or anybody can be President of the United States of America. Immigrants often told their […]
There is an argument going on in Washington, D.C. that affects each and every one of us. I am not talking about Obamacare, although that does affect each and every one of us. And I am not talking about security issues such as the boarder wall or enhanced check points at air ports, although these, […]
Here we are in the month of June. June represents a month of pride for many. The Islamic holiday of Ramadan is this month. This is also Gay Pride month. Rather ironic that the two would cross paths on the calendar. But, obviously Muslims and LGBTQ people are not proud just one day or one […]
This is a little different from what I am known for. Actually its very different but its still recognizable as all Rod Eccles. Last night, I watched the latest two episodes of the Hulu original series, Handmaid’s Tale. The series is based on a book written and released back in 1985. It is classified as […]
In the Spring, up here in New England and all over the northern USA, snow melts in preparation for warmer months. The warmer months when just about everyone shakes off the sleep of winter and welcomes the warmth of the life giving sun. And that is the way it has been for eons. But there […]
There has been renewed talk, mostly from the left, about the problem with our Electoral College as it pertains to electing a President. The leftist are upset that their candidate, Hillary Clinton, won the popular vote (although that is not actually the case due to known voter fraud) yet lost to Donald Trump in the […]
Recently, Twitter blew up again but this time, it was not because a celebrity said something stupid, cute, or funny. and it was not because Donald Trump said something that the left could never approve of. This time, it was an ordinary person, I don’t know who, but an ordinary human being that caused a […]
There is something I find interesting well actually, I find it evil and ignorant and sinister. Yes, sinister. It is something I heard liberals say over the past week or so and it was said on the air on national radio. If there was ever a time or a chance that Democrats and Liberals would […]
Well, 2016 is here and let me state the obvious. 2015 is now in the history books and we can look back at it and learn from it. Why did I state the obvious? Because we seem to have forgotten to look at history so we can to learn from where we have come from […]
