In this week's boralogue, John diverts off-script and shares his personal history.  He covers his childhood, his heritage, and his experiences among many cultures throughout his life.  Here in America, we are a diverse society and that is a good thing.  We have to work together, remember who we are, and focus on that rather than on the division in which we find ourselves today.

American history in academic textbooks has shifted from fact-based events to ideology-driven narratives.  Mary Grabar (www.dissidentprof.com), Fellow at the Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization, discusses how Howard Zinn spearheaded the project to change history textbooks.  His primer shows how America is a horrible, awful country whose only solution is to adopt socialism.  That is being taught to our children right now.

Canada has slid a little further down the progressive lawfare cliff than the United States.  John Sikkema (www.arpacanada.ca), Legal Counsel for the Association for Reformed Political Action in Ottawa describes how, thanks to politically correct ideology, legal terms like harassment and 'hate crimes' are being redefined in Canada.  Formerly law-abiding citizens who happen to disagree with the preferred narrative are now becoming criminals.

After the U.S. embassy attack in Baghdad a few weeks ago, questions have arisen as to what exactly is going on in Iraq.  Ofra Bengio (www.dayan.org), Senior Fellow at the Moshe Dayan Center joins us from Tel Aviv to discuss the geopolitics of Iraq, including the status with Kurdistan, the struggle to establish a unified government, and interference from Iran.

John’s quote of the week:    

"FBI Director Christopher Ray wrote in a letter last week that he deeply regrets the Bureau's many errors in the process of obtaining warrants on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.  Isn't that cute?  He apologized.  Try that in court sometime if you're convicted.  'Yes, your honor, I murdered that man.  But I apologize.'  'OK, you're free to go.'  It doesn't work that way."

How can the Democrats impeach President Trump when they refused to impeach former President Clinton for a much worse action! The history of impeachment is so important in understanding what is being done today.

#WarriorsNeeded to work #FLVoters to ensure FL Evangelists register and vote in November 2020. President Trump initiates Religious Freedom Day on Thursday, 1/16, to recognize the Freedom of Religion for all Americans... he addressed how Judeo-Christian persecution is occurring to shut it down. This is a huge win! Religious Freedom Day is very good for the Evangelicals needed to win in 2020!
