The Love They Left Behind

Image
By History Haven It was the winter of 1891, a time when sorrow hung heavily in the air and grief was measured in silence. In the dim light of a curtained room, a brother and sister lay together in a single, small coffin, dressed as if for Sunday service. The boy, no older than five, lay with one arm protectively around his little sister, who looked no more than three. Their faces, serene in sleep, held an almost sacred stillness that only peace or eternal rest could bring. Surrounding them, flowers filled the air with sweetness, but their beauty did little to soften the sorrow that gripped the room. Their mother sat nearby, hands clasped tightly in her lap, eyes fixed on the two children she would never again hear laughing or playing. A single ribbon from her daughter’s hair rested between her fingers, worn thin from endless caressing. Behind her, their father stood, his shoulders hunched not from age, but from the crushing weight of heartbreak. In that moment, no words were spoken bet...

Maybe that’s a Good Thing

  The Reverend Wilbur   When an event comes along, I will usually let it simmer for a while. The News Services will try to one up themselves getting the scoop, but be wary, it is virtually impossible to accurately address a situation five minutes after said event.   As the president’s motorcade entered Dealy Plaza, three shots rang out.    And for the next sixty years that was the most accurate rendering of the eight seconds in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963. All the expensive senate subcommittees, and the two-inch-thick books by people that you never heard of before that day, nothing, and I do mean nothing tops those crackling words that day in history.   Poor little Jon Benét. All those cops trained to direct traffic in a tourist trap somehow forgot to secure the body when it was found. Now, years later DNA here, DNA there, DNA DNA everywhere and not a case to make! Intruder? A nine-year-old kid. A mother recovering from chemo. They had male DNA in her...

A Bridge too Far

Image
  From History Haven He was hanged by an angry mob, his life ended not by court, but by the frontier justice of those who had grown tired of his crimes. Jim Miller, a notorious outlaw and hired gun, had escaped the noose multiple times by orchestrating a cast of standby witnesses ready to shield him in murder trials. Yet in 1909, after fatally ambushing former Deputy U.S. Marshal Angus A. “Gus” Bobbitt near Ada, Oklahoma, the patience of the local community ran out. They decided that Miller had cheated justice one too many times, and their retribution was swift and final. It wasn’t just the killing of Bobbitt that sealed Miller’s fate; it was a lifetime of calculated violence and evasion. The mob’s decision to hang him reflected both fear and fury, a brutal reminder of how frontier communities sometimes took the law into their own hands. Miller, once a man untouchable through manipulation of the legal system, became a symbol of lawlessness punished outside official channels, his de...

The Foxes are Waiting

    Reverend Wilbur You’d better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone because times, they are a-changing.   Indeed, they are. They always are. We needed Trump. At least four more years of him. I went on the record yesterday defending immigrants. My opinion was purely Texan. Who’s gonna pick the cabbages? You? Kinda gotta get out of your safe room to go out and pick “C” words you know. At other times this week I waxed elegant in psychology, theology, and the lesser sciences. I honestly don’t know where that stuff comes from. Usually, the first thing in the morning before coffee. When the lead story is a warning about a meteor hitting the moon it’s easy to move on. Unless you are living under a big yellow rock you can see the train wreck America has become. We are morally vacant. People are more concerned about the Epstein List than kids still starving in Appalachia, and every letter in the alphabet has a forbidden word attached. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost caught...

      Welcome to hot topic central! I’m gonna crawl out on a limb here and start sawing between me and the tree but somebody’s gotta say it, so here goes! Here ye here ye! Not all illegals are bad! Some are like a backyard dog. Bark bark bite bite and stay in the yard. Years ago I was in New York. Down on Mulberry Street. They were celebrating some New York holiday and street vendors were everywhere. I came upon one guy, two wheel cart, selling sausages, wife beater, you know, and he offered me a taste. Then another and another until we were having a conversation about sausages. I ate a whole meal of samples this guy had made with his own hands. When we were parting, my girlfriend was just gonna walk away. I stopped her and said that we had to buy some of this man’s sausage. She looked gut shot! “Why?” She asked. “Look at all the samples he gave us!” Anyway, I bought a pound of the one he recommended. I have no remote idea what his citizenship was. ICE has made a lot of h...

It’s Close People

   I’ve been dodging this subject because, well, can I be frank? Candace Owens is a black woman and I’m a white guy from Texas, and well, you know. We have become accustomed to whack a doodle stuff coming out of the likes of Al Sharpton, Al Green and the like so we have grown to expect a lot of it but Candace had an air of intelligence and respectability plus the support of Ben Shapiro so she got a big pass. UNTIL! Charlie Kirk got shot! C’mon people! This is an open and shut case. Sexually confused homowhat EVER kissed his boyfriend/soon to be a girl goodbye one morning, went out and killed a public speaker at a college rally in Utah with his grandpa’s deer rifle.  Yes, I had questions, yes mounting evidence indicates him, and yes, people will argue this for fifty years. And yes, in all likelihood the Mormons will one day strap him to a chair and blast him all over a warehouse wall. God Bless Brigham Young! Enter Ace Investigative Journalist, Candace Owens to get to the ...

Do We Need This?

Image
      Ask yourself, Do we need this in America? America is a Christian nation with a few Jews on the side. The only two ethnic groups that have ever made consistent contributions to the American dream. Learn it, live it, love it! Marrying and eight-year-old girl and then cutting her head off because she doesn’t want to take her clothes off is illegal even in Arkansas! But the Bald Beaver Bunch thinks this is quite normal. Mohammed had a five-year-old wife. Right? Allah told him to remove the diaper, be fruitful and multiply. But do we need this? We already got bearded ladies pissing in little girls’ restrooms, purple haired drag queens reading “I Have Two Daddies” to toddlers in public libraries, and public schools teaching third graders to finer points of anal sex. How much more do we have to put up with before we get a rope? Muslims have little villages all over the country where that can freak off and be cool. What Constitution? Never heard of it. Well, that is the doc...
