New Zealand Weapons Ban Likely Red Meat for American Anti-Gun Lobby
Reuters reported on Thursday, March 21 that the Prime Minister of New Zealand enacted a sweeping change, banning weapons of the type that were used in the massacre of at least fifty Muslims, who were gunned down on livestream while in Friday prayer services in Christchurch last week. We quote from the Reuters piece below, with added emphasis: New Zealand will ban military-style semi-automatic and assault rifles under tough new gun laws following the killing of 50 people in its worst mass shooting, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Thursday. In the immediate aftermath...
NCAA March Madness and Its Social Implications
It is difficult for me to admit this harsh fact, but American basketball is more of the people’s game in the United States than Football (known as ‘soccer’ in the United States) which is rightfully the greatest of all sports known around the world. The endless run of basketball ball and the colorful shoes in the light and shadow of the college and university auditoriums, with their glossy, wooden basketball courts, is one of ecstasy and despair. On television screens in families’ homes or in sports bars in American cities and towns, one can see the various enthusiastic em...
ACLU Opposes Proposed Legislation & Curbing Free Speech BUT “No Sex with Animals”
The ACLU is boycotting various bills through which the states and the US government are trying to curtail Americans most fundamental right – the right to free speech. This should come as no surprise to readers of USA Really, as we have touched upon various anti-boycott Israel bills in recent articles. The most recent proposed legislation tops it all. A group of 43 senators—29 Republicans and 14 Democrats—want to implement a law that would make it a felony for Americans to support the international boycott against Israel, which was launched in protest of that country’s d...
The Brilliant Rage of an Arkansas Lawmaker, Stephanie Flowers
There is nothing like the rage of a Black American mother when it comes to protecting her children. The Democratic senator, Stephanie Flowers of Arkansas, stood her ground publically in denouncing a Stand Your Ground bill in Arkansas. To listen to her powerful voice in denouncing those socially insane Americans, the majority of them being Anglo-Americans, who yearn to carry guns into residential areas where African Americans and Latinos live in order to ‘protect’ themselves, is to invite social disaster and move towards a more genocidal America that is already on such a v...
Lenten Repentance and Seeing Your True Self: From Male to Female to Non-Binary and Back Again
The season of Orthodox Great Lent is upon us. This is a time of serious fasting—40 days without meat or dairy products, followed by the same rule in Great and Holy Week, leading up to the Lord’s Resurrection—Pascha (Easter). For those who truly strive to keep the Church’s “rule,” they also eat less in addition to amending what they eat, they devote more time to prayer, to spiritual reading, to almsgiving, etc. etc. But all of these things are not the end, but the means to the end. The true aim, goal, purpose of Lent is repentance—the turning from everything within us that...
Anti-Semitic Speech Resolution Fails but Dems Want to Broaden It
The liberal Democrats appear to be caught in their own ideological whirlpool this week. Reaction among some Democrats to the alleged "anti-Semitic" speech resolution we reported about earlier took a turn that was perhaps surprising: The Democrat rank-and-file representatives could not come to an agreement on the resolution. This appears to underscore the thought that Nancy Pelosi, while Speaker of the House, no longer has the control over that body that she did at an earlier time. But it also underscores the increasingly radical nature of the Democrat Party's House leader...
Americans Care More About Their Pets Than Their Fellow Citizens
Who would you save from getting run over by an out-of-control bus: your pet dog or a fellow human, albeit someone you don’t know? While I for sure without a doubt will leap to save the man (or woman), data suggests that a majority of Americans would without flapping an eyelid try to save their beloved pet. The findings of the study left me baffled. How on earth can anyone consider the life of a dog more important than the life of a human being. Don’t get me wrong, I have three pet cats, and I absolutely adore them, but if a day comes when I have to choose between saving a...
Is War Necessary to End Abortion in the States?
Since the abortion/infanticide debate has begun to rage more intensely lately, the question is being asked by various and sundry, ‘What kind of nation do we want America to be?’ A better question would be, ‘Is America a nation at all?’ In the States, there have generally been two views on this question. The first is that the entity referred to as ‘America’ is not a unified nation-state but a voluntary confederation of independent States, each of which may leave the union at any time and resume its life as a separate nation, unhindered by any of her sister States. The...
US Border Patrol Overwhelmed: US Borders Only Symbolic Lines on a Map!
There is not a better source information at times than Homeland Security’s own Office of Public Affairs. This is at least the case when reporting how there is a Humanitarian and Security Crisis faced on the Southern Border and how it nearing a 'Breaking Point." The number of Illegal Immigrants has "Hit a 12-Year High; More than 76,000 Migrants Crossed in February alone." What did they expect? With all the fanfare over build the wall, much like the rhetoric of banning guns after each subsequent mass shooting, the reaction is to buy more guns. The same now with an...
