An American Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Here at Paineful Truth, we are taking the holiday off, however we did not want to leave you hanging without a post this week! Please enjoy these borrowed articles and video that take a look back at how Christmas was celebrated by our past presidents.
We have an unbelievably rich history and heritage in our country, much of which is slowly getting lost and forgotten. As has been wisely said, those who do not know where they came from do not know where they are or where they are going. Let us protect America from this fate. Let us know and learn from our history.
We are so grateful for your support of Paineful Truth in our inaugural year. Looking greatly forward to what is to come! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Equality: Missing the Key Word

  What The American People Need to Know Equality, Marriage and  the Supreme Court America was watching as the Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding the Obergefell vs. Hodges case on Tuesday. A case that could determine the fate of marriage in America. This may seem like a complicated subject on the surface, but I’ve broken it down into what I believe are the main three distinct areas of argument and attempted to give a simple answer to each. The three areas are: equality, the definition of marriage, and the court’s role vs. the people’s. So let’s jump into this - equality. Twitter has been abuzz with#equalityforall. But there is an inherent flaw with people’s understanding of the whole concept of equality. They are missing the key word. All men are created equal. Given certain rights by their Creator. And government’s purpose is (supposed to be) to protect those rights (see the Declara

Hogg & Company - Welcome to the Real World

The liberal left and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) have long been fans of and experts at playing identity politics. This is one reason Obama had some of the successes he had. If you criticized Obama, you were instantly labeled as a racist. If you’re for border security, you hate Mexicans. If you believe in traditional marriage, you’re a homophobe and a hater. And the list goes on. However, recently added to this list: If you disagree with young people spouting ill-advised, illogical liberal talking points regarding unconstitutional gun control , you hate children. *Sigh* Ok, folks. It’s time to realize 3 things: 1. When You’re Wrong, You’re Wrong Your experience does not make your right. Your background does not make you right. Your credentials do not make you right. Your skin color, age, national origin, gender, physical ability, etc., etc. in no way validate your argument. David Hogg and the rest of the “March For Our Lives”/”# NationalWalkoutDa

The Coming Tragedy

You can learn a lot from YouTube. For instance, you can learn how to change your spark plugs in your '87 Honda. You can also learn that America's entertainment industry is, generally speaking, odious, soulless, and disgusting. I really enjoy watching movie trailers on YouTube. It’s saved countless hours of my life. Instead of wasting $15 and 2 ½ hours watching a ghastly movie, I can take consolation knowing that I saved $15 and only wasted 2 ½ minutes watching the ghastly movie’s trailer. However, there are times where saving $15 and only wasting 2 ½ minutes is not even a consolation. I had the extreme misfortune of watching a trailer for “Tragedy Girls”, a “dark comedy-horror film” (darn you, YouTube auto-play). Typically, I don’t point at one individual thing and say “Now this is what’s wrong with America.” However, in this case, I’ll make an exception. “Tragedy Girls” is what’s wrong with America. Make sure you’re current on your blood pressure medication, t
