It was today, 17 September 1787, 238 years ago, that the rule of law governing the longest-running constitutional Republic the world has ever known was signed. It would be some two years later that the Constitution of the United States of America would be ratified by the 13 states. The…
Last week was one that we shall all remember for quite some time. The day before the 24th remembrance of 9-11, a stalwart young conservative champion of free speech, Charlie Kirk, was violently assassinated right before our eyes. Charlie is now welcomed into the loving arms of his Lord and…
Greetings everyone from Skjolden, Norway, where I am aboard the Holland America cruise ship Rotterdam. I am here after a magnificent day at the end of Norway’s deepest, 1,308m, and longest, 200km, Sognefjord, known as the King of the Fjords. The beauty and splendor of this place, which we first…
If there’s one thing about the Marxist left, it is that they will always provide you with lots of opportunities to evidence their delusion. Perhaps some of you recall the song by Led Zeppelin from whence I draw the title of this week’s Colonel’s Constitutional Brief. I am starting to…
As I am writing this missive, I am in the DC area, and we all know what was just recently announced that has instigated another leftist apoplectic meltdown. Now, of course, Marxists will say that crime is down in the District of Columbia, the seat of our federal government. However,…
The Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2) declares federal law to be the supreme law of the land, binding state courts and superseding conflicting state laws. Insurgency (Noun): An active revolt or uprising; a movement within a country dedicated to overthrowing the government, a rebellion. This past week, as we…
Good Monday morning, everyone! I returned home late Saturday evening from another memorable trip to the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy, France. It will never stop being emotional to stand upon hallowed and sacred ground where men from America, the UK, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Poland, and Belgium came together to…
Greetings, everyone, from the Cotentin Peninsula of France, also known as Normandy to many. I am here with 25 college students sponsored by the Young America’s Foundation for the 81st anniversary of D-Day. Today we spent the day at the American Military Cemetery and on Omaha Beach. These students had…
Isaiah 1:18 (KJV), “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord…” I remember the murder of Dutch film director Theo van Gogh in November 2004. He had completed a film titled “Submission: Part 1,” which criticized the treatment of women in Islam. Van Gogh was shot and had…
Greetings, everyone, from the Doubletree Hotel in Jackson, Tennessee, where I just missed two tornadoes that hit earlier today (Tuesday, 20 May). I am on the road heading to Washington, DC for Rolling to Remember, aka Rolling Thunder. It is the great Veterans motorcycle ride supporting our POW/MIAs, the overall…
There has been lots of chatter about President Donald J. Trump running for another term in office. As all know, or should, that is not constitutionally possible; he will have served two terms, regardless of them being non-consecutive. The 22d Amendment of the US Constitution, which was ratified on February…
Recently, I attended the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution, the Battle of Lexington. I found it quite ironic that 250 years ago, the British were marching inland towards Concord, Massachusetts, to destroy a weapons and armaments factory supplying the Sons of Liberty. They were executing the…
