Defamation of a Gallant Soldier, Selfless Patriot, and True Christian
January 19 will mark the 218th anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Lee in 1807, one of the most respected and revered military leaders in American history. That respect and reverence extends over most of the world, wherever military leadership is studied. Robert E. Lee’s birthday was once celebrated as an official holiday in most Southern states.
The number of holidays or commemorative days for Robert E. Lee has dropped considerably, however, in the last two decades. Only four states now commemorate Lee as an official holiday or observance: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Alabama and Mississippi celebrate a combined Lee and Martin Luther King holiday, and Arkansas now has only a commemorative day, but these and others have become largely invisible in politics and the media.

Background for Factual, Historical, and Demographic Analysis

Western mass media propaganda creates the impression that Ukraine is a virtuous democratic country united against an “unprovoked invasion” by Russia on February 24, 2022. There are two major factors that caused Russia’s Special Military Action that might more rightly be called an intervention rather than an unprovoked invasion. First of all, in 2008 at the Bucharest NATO Summit, George W. Bush, probably heavily influenced by Dick Chaney, Bush’s Vice President from 2001 to 2009, pushed NATO to make Ukraine and Georgia members. This was all part of an intrigue and “Great Game,” started by the British and including the Crimean War of 1853, to block Russia from access to the Black Sea. At the NATO Summit in 2008, Bush got some pushback from Germany and France, but nevertheless pushed through a NATO resolution to make Ukraine and Georgia members of NATO. At the time, Ukraine was constitutionally neutral and a majority of Ukrainians had no interest in NATO or the European Union. A large part of their trade was with Russia.
The High Costs of Ignoring God

Government and Every Human Sphere of Influence Are Accountable to God
The American people have been bamboozled for more than two generations now into believing that their government can safely ignore God and his moral standards. The underlying presumption of this folly is that the God of the Bible is irrelevant—that there is not really a God at all, or if there is a God, that He is either too impotent or too distant to be concerned with the affairs of men. This humanist philosophy presumes that the wisdom of man is the standard of all things. There is no fear of a God who is all-powerful, all-wise, sovereign over all of nature and the affairs of men, and who is himself the one and absolute standard of truth, good and right.

Another Tragic Chapter in American Foreign Policy

On December 8, Islamist Sunni Muslim rebel forces identified as the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) occupied Damascus, the capital of Syria, effectively overthrowing the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Bashar al-Assadi had been president of Syria for 24-years, since his father died in 2000. His father, Hafez al-Assad, was a Syrian Air Force General, who had taken over the Syrian government in a coup in 1971. Bashar al-Assad and his family were flown to Moscow by their Russian allies.

Tucker Carlson Interview of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov - December 6, 2024, Moscow

On December 6, Tucker Carlson was in Moscow to interview Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Lavrov has been the Russian Federation’s Foreign Minister for 20 years, since 2004. Lavrov was born in Moscow. His father was an Armenian from the Georgian SSR and his mother Russian. Lavrov speaks several foreign languages well and is fluent in English and French, so the interview was entirely in English and later translated to Russian for the Russian public. He graduated from the Moscow Institute of International Relations in 1972 and has been both a Soviet and Russian Federation diplomat since then. Lavrov consistently maintains a deliberately straight forward style of communication. He avoids speculation or exaggeration in answering questions. His knowledge of international situations and their histories is broad and deep. His intellectual, analytical, and diplomatic skills are formidable, and his credibility is highly respected in knowledgeable and objective diplomatic circles.
