'Auto-treason' under fire

'Biden aides seized presidential power
as they hid his decline, used auto-pen'

If Tapper's expose is correct, Amendment 25
points to a coup d’etat by progressive insiders

How could a tight-knit circle of progressive aides sidestep the 25th Amendment and use presidential powers to implement sweeping policy changes?

In another period of American history, many would have rightly cried, Treason! A coup d’etat against democracy by some treacherous palace guard!

Yet in today’s political climate, few are terribly shocked. Well, the thinking goes, of course these professional party people were simply doing whatever was necessary in order to stop dictator Trump.

Brand new good old gospel

A special coterie of American musicians find themselves more popular overseas than right here in the good old U.S.A. I wouldn’t say that that holds for the Petersens, yet in the last three years or so their global popularity has skyrocketed.

It turns out that not only is Bluegrass a popular genre in many countries, but that this artfully American-casual group of Christian young people carries a strong magnetism. Witness their recent overseas tours of Europe and the Trans Taz region of New Zealand and Australia.

They are popular not only for their musical polish and marvelous vocals, but for their eclectic mix of grassed-up Country, Pop, Rock, Folk, Gospel — and whatever catches their fancy. As banjoist Ellen emphasizes, the band’s work should not be pigeon-holed as “Christian music,” which is a specific genre.

Ellen, with her strong emotive ability, was surely the right choice for lead vocalist on the band’s latest release, Goodness of the Lord, which is a new take on Psalm 27.

A combination of financial incentive and creative drive is leading musical director and songwriter Katie to incorporate more original song compositions in the band’s enormous repertoire. Katie, the fiddler, joined an Australian friend, Liv Legget, to pen the marvelous new gospel number that appears here for the first time.

The band, based in the heart of the fabled Ozarks region, is known for its highly integrated instrumental support. Backup comes from Katie, guitarist Matt, bassist Karen, dobroist Emmett Franz and mandolinist Julianne.

Watch out for Julianne. She likes Rock and Gospel (not only), and she’s the band’s other lyricist/composer.
