God’s Soldier – Alvin York’s Journey from Sinner to Saint
- By W.H. Lamb
One of my favorite subjects to write about in this august journal of truth has always been the lives of extraordinary people, especially when they are Christians, and most particularly when they have turned from a Devil’s Disciple to one of God’s Children – from sinner to saint. Those are the people I love to write about, to share with my readers their beliefs, their values, their strengths and weaknesses, their deeds, their fears, and their valor that we of the present might emulate to some degree.

Bedford Forrest and the Assault on Fort Pillow
- By Mike Scruggs
Reconstructing Truth in a Hurricane of Propaganda
Part 4 of a Series on Confederate Cavalry
During the morning of April 12, 1864, Forrest had made a reconnaissance of the outer perimeter of earthworks at Fort Pillow. He had found that all but the inner fort was vulnerable to sniper fire from higher terrain. He doubled the line of sharpshooters already placed there by General Chalmers. He was, however, painfully injured falling from his horse, which was shot from under him.

Capitalism Vs. Socialism
- By John Di Lemme, Founder of Conservative Business Journal
Understanding this Is Crucial to the Future of America – Part 1
“America will never be a socialist country”. This was a recent quote by President Trump during his recent State of the Union address in response to some of the newly elected Democrats pushing for socialism in our country.
Socialism is a relatively foreign concept for millions of Americans, which is understandable since they have never lived under a socialist regime. That’s why it’s so easy for the far left politicians to mesmerize our citizens with promises of a better future through economic and social equality. They conveniently leave out the devastation that will be caused if socialism is ever adopted in America.

Bedford Forrest and the Fort Pillow “Massacre”
- By Mike Scruggs
Context is all Important in Understanding History
Part 3 of a series on Confederate Cavalry
The Battle of Fort Pillow was not militarily significant, but it was called a “massacre” by the New York Times, other Northern newspapers, and the Radical Republican dominated Joint Congressional Committee for the Conduct of the War. More importantly, it became an important propaganda tool to demonize the South and the Confederate cause, which still dominates much of academia, the media, and virtue-signaling American politics.

Oh, America, We Hear You Calling
- By W.H. Lamb
“O, America you’re calling, I can hear you calling me: You are calling me to be true to thee—true to thee I will be.
O, America you’re weeping, Let me heal your wounded heart. I will keep you in my keeping, ‘til there be a new start.
And I will answer you, and I will take your hand, And lead you to the sun; And I will stand by you, do all that I can do, And we will be as one.
O, America I hear you, From your prairies to the sea; From your mountains grand, and all through this land, You are beautiful to me.
And, O, America you’re calling. I can hear you calling me; You are calling me to be true to thee, true to thee I will be.
And I will answer you, and I will take your hand, And lead you to the sun; And I will stand by you, do all that I can do, And we will be as one.
O, America you’re calling…… I will ever answer thee.”
This beautiful song, with words by Brendan Graham and glorious music by William Joseph, was written in 2008 exclusively for that absolutely wonderful Irish singing group called Celtic Woman as they prepared the music for their fourth fabulous DVD at Powerscourt House and Gardens in Ireland in 2009, in advance of their 2010 tour of the U.S.

George Floyd
- By Ray Simmons
I did not know George Floyd, nor do I know the policeman who killed him. But I do know this nationwide protest was a pre-planned movement waiting for any action that could be used as justification. George Floyd just happened to be that action. The assassination of a sitting President (JFK) did not generate any kind of a protest against murderers or against federal agents assigned to protect the President or against the Texas Police assigned against an assault.

Nathan Bedford Forrest

The Confederate Cavalry Leader Most Feared by Union Generals
Part 2 of a Series on Confederate Cavalry
“I’ll be damned if I’ll surrender.”
The battles of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in February 1862 were the first two significant victories for the Union. They also demonstrated an important Union strategy that many believe was the ultimate key to Union defeat of Confederate resistance. They set out to dominate the water transportation lifelines critical to the Southern economy and military defense. They were eventually able to dominate these critical arteries with a “Brown Water Navy” of gunboats. The South had few such resources to oppose them. Fort Henry was on the Tennessee River in west-middle Tennessee near the Kentucky border. Fort Donelson was about 12 miles to the east on the Cumberland River. The commander of Fort Henry was West Point graduate and engineering inspector Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman, from Paducah, Kentucky. Tilghman had realized that both forts Henry and Donelson were defective defensive positions but put up a valiant battle before surrendering to a Union siege on February 6, 1862. Meanwhile he had secretly moved most of his of his troops to Fort Donelson.
