2018 Set a Tragic World Record

Greetings, everyone! I pray y’all had a great and happy start to 2019!

One of the things I enjoy are listening to, or watching, all the retrospectives, and stories about the previous year, in this case, 2018. I enjoy going back and reviewing the top headlines of the past year. As a matter of fact, over the weekend, on social media, we shared with y’all the top stories here at The Old School Patriot from 2018. Often we forget so much. I wonder if anyone, in 2019, will remember names like Chris...

Governor-Elect DeSantis, Do the Right Thing

I was recently contacted by my friends at about the case of another serviceman, in addition to the ones we’ve brought to your notice, such as 1LT Clint Lorance, and Maj. Matthew Golsteyn, whose cause needs attention.

According to :

Michael Giles, a father of three with no previous criminal record,  whose service to his country includes two tours in the Middle East, has been unfairly sentenced to 25 years in prison after shooting and lightly wounding a man in the leg who had struc...

Reasons the Dems Will Lose on Border Security

We will enter 2019 with a partial government shutdown, and a Democrat House of Representatives majority by week’s end. The new Speaker of the House, once again, will be California Democrat Nancy Pelosi.

The lack of resolve by the GOP, while they had majorities in the House and Senate on the issue of an integrated border security system, has led to this impasse. However, with the new House majority, the Democrats believe that they have the high ground on the issue. They are woefully wrong.

Thi...

House Issues Clinton DoJ Investigation Update

How do you prevent someone from doing something illegal, illicit, and corrupt? Simple, you hold them accountable and ensure there are consequences for their actions. This is a simple lesson that any parent of a child knows. As the Pavlovian experiment proved, “if you reward bad behavior, you will only get more bad behavior.” And, so it is as 2018 comes to a close. Once again the corrupt and illicit behavior of the Democrats, aka Mobocrats, will go unpunished, no one will be held accountable.

Campus Jumps the #MeToo Shark

I think that I may start a new initiative. It would take the most absurd, delusional, insidious, and abjectly stupid news item of the week and feature it on “Stuck on Stupid Saturday.” Why not end the week with something that just makes you shake your head and laugh . . . the meaning behind referring to some folks as “chuckleheads.”

To kick this new idea off, on the last Saturday of 2018, I have a doozy for you!

As reported by the Daily Wire:

“Getting up the courage to ask someone out on a da...

Another Table Turned on Democrats

Oh boy, here we go again with the progressive socialist left hypocrisy. How many of you remember that song by Alanis Morrisette called “Ironic?” I really liked that tune, along with “You Live, You Learn.” Well, I have an irony to present to you, and, hopefully, you will learn something from it.

I always enjoy hearing the Democrats, aka the Mobocrats, blather about the GOP being the party of the rich. You know, those mean ol’ Republicans who don’t care about Joe and Jane Sixpack, the everyday...

Dems Push for a Wrong New Right

I love the term oxymoron, which means, “a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.” Of course, I have always asserted that the root meaning of “oxymoron” is in the singular word, “moron.” Therefore, leave it to the progressive socialist morons of the Democrat party to come up with something that is totally and completely contradictory, and disturbing — especially at this time of the year.

As reported by Life News:

“Pro-abortion Democrats introduced a bil...

Selective, Faux, Ideological Outrage

If there is one thing that I despise, it is blatant, ideological, and duplicitous hypocrisy. Sadly, we consistently are given witness to this by the progressive socialist left. They demand tolerance but are the most intolerant. They admonish fascism, yet they restrict speech and thought. They say they care for the poor but prefer keeping them as such. They accuse everyone of incessant phobias, yet they fear and loathe anything, or anyone, not accepting their ideology. They say climate change...

My Christmas Wishes for America

Greetings and salutations, everyone!

On this Christmas Eve, I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas. For me, today has an even greater special meaning: it is my 29th wedding anniversary with my wife of all these years, Dr. Angela Graham-West. So, for this little missive, I figured I would share my Christmas wishes with y’all.

First, Santa, I wish that my wife, Angela, keeps me around for another year, so we can hit 30 years together. This Christmas, I am happy and blessed that I am not de...

The Story Behind the Christmas Tree

I came across this story by Tony Boquet and wanted to share it with y’all. Merry Christmas from The Old School Patriot!

Who does not love the sight of a Christmas tree but have you ever considered what it truly means? Knowing my love of history, many of my friends from a wide array of religious and ethnic backgrounds; have asked me questions about the various symbols of the holidays. The Christmas tree, a symbol based on moral foundations, is tied deeply in my search for wisdom, a topic of wh...
