Diary Of A Deplorable!
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99I am a deplorable. That is what a left-leaning, law breaking democrat has chosen to call me because, as a Christian conservative, I supported a Presidential candidate with whom I agreed. Seventy-four million Americans voted the same way I did in 2020, so I guess we are all deplorables. I’m also a white male, and in today’s world, that is the only group that one can discriminate against with the blessing of the main-stream media. Another president decried the fact that we conservatives “cling to our guns and our God.” I choose to cling to both! Further, as a conservative, and a former university professor, I’ve been a victim of the lies, and false accusations of the woke cancel culture. For these reasons, I am now highly vested in this struggle against dishonesty, cancellation, and the destructive identity politics of wokeness. Finally, I believe in truth, and believing the truth today is virtually criminalized in our country. Here are some truths that, as a deplorable, I believe in.
There are only two genders, and only females can get pregnant.
History cannot be changed, and historical monuments should not be destroyed or dismantled at the whim of today’s left-leaning press.
Reparations won’t work, since almost everyone on the planet can make a case to receive them.
The Southern border of the US is witnessing an invasion, sanctioned and encouraged by democrats. Drugs and criminal thugs flow in without restraint creating a danger for all Americans.
Fatherlessness is destroying the Black community, and that problem may take American culture down with it.
Our current president suffers from dementia. He cannot function as leader of the free world.
The 2020 presidential election was a coup, orchestrated by democrats, a number of “get out the vote” non-profits, and 2000 mules stuffing ballot boxes. The 2024 election might be the same.
The current, highly dangerous world chaos, and two wars, have resulted in part because of a weak, demented US President.
These truths, and many others, are being attacked daily in the press, but truth generally stands strong in the face of lying politicians and infantile name-calling. Still, in 2024 these “woke” attacks on conservatives are getting much, much worse. If the lies and half-truths of leftists go unchallenged, they can eventually destroy our American experiment, so I felt I had to respond. In all honesty, you probably picked up this diary because you feel the same. You may have been attacked yourself by wokeness in some form or another, perhaps denied a job or a promotion because you were white, or male. In the view of leftist democrats, all Christian conservatives and all republicans are “deplorables” all 74 million of us. Given that these attacks do destroy lives sometimes, I’ve decided to respond, using a Christian perspective and humor (which disarms woke-leftists), to comment on today’s headlines. Thus, I’ll embrace the term, deplorable! The woke left is going to hate me and all conservative Christians anyway, so let’s let them. Herein, I’ll use truth, honesty, fact-based arguments, Jesus’ example of love, and a goodly dose of humor, to work to preserve the American experiment that I do so love. As usual, Jesus said it best!
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” ( John 8: 32)

Indoctrination Impedes Mind Maturation: 2nd Edition
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99When we observe the sociological progress of civilization for the last two hundred years and that we compare it to the technological progress for the same period, we can notice a very significant time lag. And if the sociological progress is falling behind the strong and very efficient lead of technology, it’s because of limiting factors which are too numerous to all be dealt with in this essay.
Among these limiting factors, there is one in particular which has a dominant effect on civilization. I mean coercion and its corrosive effects on any and all sociocultural entities.
Coercion, through intimidation and constraint makes possible the indoctrination of the masses, indoctrination is not the monopoly of religious, although they are its main agents; the family, the school, the government and the media are also major agents of indoctrination.

Knowing Horses by Heart: A Collection of Poems Written with Appreciation for the Horses in My World
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99For as long as Barbara Hutson could remember, she dreamed of having a horse farm and of surrounding herself daily with these magical, mystical, and majestic creatures. Suddenly, she found herself living her lifelong dream. In Knowing Horses by Heart, she talks about the joys and challenges of owning horses. Her poems consider the life lessons she has learned-such as the value of patience and respect-while considering how worthwhile owning horses has been for her.
Like most fantasies, the reality of our fondest wishes can be a bit more than we bargained for. Owning a horse farm is not all serene days gazing at horses playing in the field or peaceful rides into the sunsets. Horses are bigger than life. With that comes events that are also tremendous in size and impact, which lends richness and color to the fabric of our life story. Fully illustrated, Knowing Horses by Heart shares through poetry some of the knowledge Barbara has accumulated through her equine encounters.
Little Girl Giggles
The gift is sweeter than that very first kiss
Seeing those looks of sheer wonder and bliss
There is nothing quite like watching the eyes
Of a child as she squeals with excited cries
As the magic of real horses fills up the space
The look of pure amazement covers her face …

A Letter to Pope Francis: Musings On What Ails The Catholic Church
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99In this book, the author shares his honest and personal opinions concerning certain attitudes and doctrines of the Catholic religion. His goal in writing this book is not to try to instruct or indoctrinate you. Rather, he wishes to present you with a menu of theories, reflections, and facts he has observed as an ex-Catholic; one who is a staunch believer in the 2600-year-old Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Somehow the Catholic Church has betrayed that rule and finds herself in deep trouble.
The criminal conduct of tens of thousands of priests and the Vatican’s cover-up of their actions has become one of the world’s biggest scandals. The Vatican must now follow the United Nations’ directive to open up its files concerning the sexual abuse of children by priests. In the last few years alone, legal suits related to this abuse have amounted to billions of dollars. The Church could end up monetarily bankrupt… if not morally. But we have a new player on the scene: Pope Francis. He is a nonconformist and shows signs that he is ready to face the music and do whatever it takes to save the ailing Church. Will he overcome the misogynistic attitude of his Church and allow the marriage of priests and the ordination of women?

Reflections III: The Magic Beyond the Pain: The Journey, My Impact, Their Impact
Price range: $3.99 through $19.99This book reflects life-each and every one of us in our journeys as all of us inevitably end in the same place.

It is also imperative that we find ways to help the world we live in-for those many starfish that ended on the beach, and for each of those starfish that we can throw back in the water,-well, one more life we have saved. Inevitably, it is the lives we save that actually save us-aren’t they? They fill our souls with energy with that special feeling that we mean something that we actually are all connected but to live life with purpose-well that is ultimately the most fulfilling of all important feelings. To each of you I hope you fill those moments in the simplest of ways-giving back, and pay forward to become the power and energy that will save us all.

The Alzheimer’s Guidebook
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99Alzheimer’s/Dementia is out there in our world and creating distress and sadness in the lives of millions of people every day, and more in years to come. The number of people with this disease is staggering-MILLIONS! Who is going to be taking care of these people? If it’s not the family, it will be hired caregivers at home or staff in facilities. The concern is, will they be prepared!
Does someone you know–a loved one perhaps, have Alzheimer’s?
Are you concerned for a loved one that has increased forgetfulness, behavior changes and/or has wandered off and forgotten where they were or how to get home?
Do you work with Alzheimer’s patients and feel you would like to have a better understanding of this disease?
Are you having a difficult time coping with someone with this disease and you just don’t know how to handle things or even how the disease will progress?
IF YOU ANSWERED “YES” TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.
This is a simple, easy-to-read, guidebook. It is designed to help you care for and better understand a person with Alzheimer’s. Many people have not been educated on what to expect or how to properly care for someone with this disease.
As a Registered Nurse, working for hospice, I had the opportunity of managing the care of Alzheimer’s/Dementia patients for over nine years, on a daily basis, in many aspects of their disease process. I shared in the lives of their families as I listened, watched, learned and took notes. From those notes, I comprised this guidebook. It includes actual stories told from the families who have dealt with this disease, personal experiences, factual information, and is put together with tips and scenarios.
MY HOPE, AS THE WRITER OF THIS BOOK, IS THAT BY SHARING THIS INFORMATION, PEOPLE WILL HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS DISEASE, AND THEY WILL RESPOND TO SITUATIONS WITH COMPASSION, SO THAT THE DIGNITY OF THE PATIENT IS MAINTAINED AND BETTER CARE IS PROVIDED. AT THE SAME TIME, BY HAVING THIS INFORMATION, THEY WILL BE FILLED WITH MORE ENJOYABLE, EASIER DAYS AS SITUATIONS ARISE, VERSUS DAYS WITH TROUBLES, STRESS, SADNESS AND THE LACK OF ADEQUATE CARE.

Driven By The Spirit
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99When we think of ourselves as children of God, we tend to imagine ourselves as small children, dependent and trusting. A better analogy would be to think of ourselves as adolescents. Anyone who has raised a child to adulthood can understand the dilemma of wanting our children to become independent, successful members of society, but realizing as they make their way in the world they will make mistakes. They will get hurt. God did not create us as robots programmed for total obedience. He knows that we will make poor choices as we grow. We will face trials and we will, at times, question His love for us. Just as the parent of an adolescent, God wants us to come to Him for advice, consolation and love. He wants us to remember all He has taught us, all He has done for us, and how much He loves us. He wants our love and devotion in spite of the hardships we face or successes we achieve. When I think about those who don’t believe they need God in their lives, it brings to mind the lonely widow who sits in her home day after day, hoping for the moment when her child will call or come to see her. Some never will. How sad is that!

Freedom of Religion by Individual Choice
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99We often hear that America’s Founding Fathers were deeply religious, but were they really? Was America meant to have a state sponsored religion, or did they believe that all Americans have the right to worship and observe and practice their religion their way. The Founding Fathers were from a time when many European Countries had state or national religions and as these men observed and learned about the conditions that citizens lived under, they came away with a deep understanding of what it meant as they set out to build a new country from the ground up.
This work looks closely at what these men thought and said about organized religion by making use of letters, papers and documents written in their own hand, to help the reader better understand why the country was founded without a national religion.

The Theory of the Naked Truth of Allah, Muhammad, and the Quran
Price range: $3.99 through $28.99This book postulates a theory based on verified facts of investigative history. This book is fundamentally a history analytica of the Arabian Peninsula in the 6th and 7th century C.E. with focus on the Prophet of Islam Abul Qasim Muhammad bin Abdullah. The facts of history from which this theory emerged, as well those passages of the Quran that also support this theory, are the contents of this book.
The theory postulates that Muhammad was a highly intelligent, wise, and far-sighted person, who had many rare qualities. He had an uncanny sense of judging individuals and communities. A great planner and executor of complicated and long drawn plans. He harbored the unique ambition of conquering the entire Arabian Peninsula and becoming its sole ruler. The problem was that the numerous tribes, both settled and nomads, had a long history of in-fighting, and blood feuds, spread over generations. To raise a large and united army, Muhammad had to inculcate inter-tribe and intra-tribe unity, peace, and harmony. He had to be in a position to command and control their behavior; introduce and execute social reforms to end the hostilities and enmities for good. Muhammad, according to this theory, decided to announce that Almighty Allah, the sole creator of the Universe, divinely ordained him as His Prophet and Messenger, more glorified than all previous prophets sent before Muhammad. Prophethood would enable Muhammad to command total submission from the Arabs, thus helping him achieve his objectives. Muhammad to command total submission from the Arabs, thus helping him achieve his objectives. Muhammad announced that the ArchAngel Gabriel brought words from Allah appointing Muhammad as Allah’s Most Exalted Prophet for mankind. That ArchAngel Gabriel continued to bring him the revelations from Allah for 22 long years. HOWEVER, NO ONE BUT MUHAMMAD ALONE, COULD SEE, HEAR, AND CONVERSE WITH GABRIEL. To all other humans, Gabriel was invisible and inaudible. There was no worldly proof or verification that Gabriel ever came, or even existed for that matter. All else flows from this flaw.
