Progressive prosecutors lit the fuse, and teen mobs are the explosion

For some time now, we have watched chaos roll through our streets in various forms. Authorities call it “teen takeovers.” Hundreds of young people, rallied by a social media post, flood an area — whether it be the Loop in Chicago or a gas station in Atlanta — and jump on cars, loot stores and attack police. They film it all on their phones as if it were a video game with no real-life consequences.

We all know the obvious: It is a sign that something deep in our culture has broken. That is true, but how? What strikes me is the lack of fear these youths show. That, for me, is the first sign.

When I was a young boy living in the country town of Kenton, Tenn., I feared God. I feared my elders. This was a good fear. It was the fear that kept me on the straight path.  (Continue Reading)

Living in a Reverse Universe

by Carrie K. Hutchens

I have often wondered if I am living in a reverse universe.  A universe where evil wins and good goes down in flames at almost every turn.  A universe where lies are the norm and the truth is challenged and then crushed by the gaslighters, who deem themselves the righteous ones.

It is something I wonder about.

Is there more than one dimension?  Am I in another one?  Am I happy?  Did my life turn out as I had once wished for?  Did I travel to all those places I once longed to travel to?

Oh yes, I do wonder.

I’ve seen some undeserving people end up living charmed lives with all their dreams come true, while others – ones who were/are deserving – ended up with one challenge after another and many tears shed.

I wonder why that is.

It is something to think about sometimes, though thinking about it will change nothing.  Never has.  No reason to believe it ever will.

Wonder is what I do.

If there is another universe and there is a me living there, I hope I am a good person doing good things.

I wonder if I am laughing in delight as I dance to life’s good things?

Maybe someday I will know if there is another universe where good wins and evil loses at every turn.  A universe where truth is ultimate, and the righteous truly are.

Until then… I’ll go on wondering.

15-year-old Black teen’s murder reveals the ugly truth about White guilt in America

We live in a White guilt America. For over 60 years, we have held Blacks to a different criterion. We have compromised expectations, lowered our standards, and excused even the most horrific acts of violence because we fear being called racist. It is Black children like Jaden Pierre who often pay the price.

On April 16, 2026, 15-year-old Jaden Pierre helped organize a water balloon fight at Roy Wilkins Park in Queens. He promoted it on social media. Around 300 teenagers showed up for what was supposed to be a spring afternoon of innocent fun.

Jaden’s father reportedly dropped him off with the words, “I’ll pick you up in three hours.” Less than three hours later, Jaden was dead. A viral video showed him being cornered and beaten by multiple teens as dozens of bystanders filmed. No one intervened. Then he was shot in the chest at point-blank range. The boy who organized the fun never made it home. (Click to Continue Reading)
