  • 1980s British Bands + Elvis

    Always Something There to Remind Me Here are two 1980s songs, by two different British bands that I really like. The first is “Always Something There to Remind Me” by Naked Eyes. This less well-known New Wave song was a great example of synth-pop. I should point out that this song makes good use of…

  • Communist takeover of America

    The unfairly maligned US Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was prescient in his vision of communist infiltration and eventual takeover of America in the early 1950s. He saw the problem primarily in the entertainment industry, the state department, and even the army (see more on this below), but the real seeds of destruction, in my view,…

  • Abortion Deconstructed

    Since January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court decision in the matter of Roe v. Wade found in favor of the “Jane Roe” (Norma McCorvey), who was seeking an abortion in Texas. The Supreme Court ruled that a woman’s “right” to an abortion was a constitutional right. Even though the US Consitution explicitly affirms the right…

  • Biggest blizzards in Pittsburgh in my life so far

    So far, in my life, I’ve witnessed 3 epic blizzards. I was 3 years old. It was January 1978. A huge blizzard, dubbed The Great Blizzard of 1978, dumped 27 inches of snow between January 22 and 24. I recall the snow was above my head when we opened the front door on Meadowbrook Blvd.…

  • In Christ Alone

    I don’t like much contemporary Christian music, but I absolutely love this contemporary hymn, a throwback to classic hymns, “In Christ Alone”. The Irish melody is beautiful and the lyrics are doctrinally rich and sound. It was written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, both musicians of Christian worship music in Britain. Written in 2002,…

  • Coffee!

    I don’t know about you, but I love drinking coffee! Lattes, espressos, cappuccinos, frappuccinos, cold, hot, I love it all! I’ve tried various high-end coffee companies which feature ethically sourced coffee beans and one I’ve found which I really like is Amora Coffee. Amora is an American company based in Montgomery, Alabama. The company was…

  • Pitbulls must be stopped

    The American pitbull terrier is the most dangerous dog in the world. 80% of all human fatalities caused by dogs are pitbulls, even though pitbulls make up just 6% of all dogs! They are an ultra-aggressive, vicious, and unpredictable dog breed. The pitbull bite is the strongest and most damaging bite of any dog breed.…

  • Super Bowl Shame

    Super Bowl LVI was held on February 13th, 2022 between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams won by 3 points (23-20). But that’s not what I’m going to talk about in this article. I wish to discuss the Super Bowl Halftime Show which is held after the 2nd quarter ends. The…

  • My struggle

    When I was a child I had boundless energy. I used to spend hours playing outside (8-12 no joke!). I was actually hyperactive. I once ran around our entire block, at our home on Meadowbrook Blvd. in Brentwood, about 20 times in a row without stopping! I am thankful to God for giving me a…
