In 1824, Boston was a small farming community, about twenty-five miles south of Buffalo, New York. Buffalo itself was still only considered a village with a population of just over two thousand people. It was a hard life in that time where families tried to eke out a meager living selling their crops and growing their own fruits and vegetables to be canned and preserved for the long hard winters. They were a God-fearing community who gathered on Sundays in a neighbor's home to hear the visiting preacher who traveled from town to town until churches could be built for congregations. But just as in our world today, not everyone grows up to be honest and respectful. The three Thayer brothers moved to Boston with their parents and quickly became known as drunkards and ne'er-do-wells. When a Great Lakes seaman by the name of John Love needed a place to stay for the winter while the lakes were frozen over, they offered him room and board for a price. He didn't plan on the ultimate price that he had to pay.When the brothers' crops were not successful, they asked Love for a cash loan to make ends meet. Love was glad to help out his newfound friends. But they never planned on paying him back. Instead, they planned to murder him and hide his body.This was an important time in Western New York; the area was growing in population, and the Industrial Revolution was making life and work easier. The building of the Erie Canal, which traveled from Albany to Buffalo, was one of the engineering marvels of the time and, after many years of labor, opened in Buffalo in 1825.The story builds to the actual murder, arrest, and trial of the three brothers and ends with their eventual hangings in the Buffalo village square in 1825 attended by a crowd that was estimated at the time to be over twenty thousand people.

Paul wrote to Timothy concerning the dangers of the last days in which we live: "But understand this, that in the last days, dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear]." Although darkness covers the earth and a mist of darkness is over the people, the Lord will rise upon His two witnesses, the two olive trees of Revelation 11 whose oil brings light for the Church to see by in these last days. The pressure from the world's system of witchcraft (Babylon) will crush God's two anointed ones, favorably emitting the golden oil to the nations of the world. The testimonies of these two end-time prophets will bear witness to the power of the gospel as they are given the grace to prevail over the things they suffer. They will bear the fruit of the kingdom (from the metaphorical tree of life), and their lives will produce evidence that God's power is with them to destroy the wicked (serpent) seed. They will be living proof of God's authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).

Why would anyone in the sunset of life attempt not one but two published books? In two words, strong motivation. Free My Son was published in 2020, the title reveals the first very strong motivation! The second, God Bless America, reveals one of the similar motivations. The title could have the subtitle Save the American Republic!This old author encourages young and old alike with motivation to tell your story and just give it a go, as our UK friends would say! In the first book, Almighty God has blessed both father and son in unique ways to make each day filled with purpose, for he is a God of purpose. In 2016, the author mistakenly described the Democrat Party (not Democratic) as a party of obstractionist. This is far short of Marxism with the silent coup of Hillary Clinton and the fake dossier on Donald Trump. Trump's telephone was tapped before, during, and after the 2016 election. With the insistence and investigations of Trump's followers, President Trump survived and the American Republic survived! Praise God!Why was Clinton not investigated? Politicization of the Justice department. After the rigged election of 2020, the forty-sixth president, Biden, quickly started to destroy the great achievements of Trump. Forty-five would have never withdrawn from Afghanistan in the disorderly way of the Biden administration!Forward to February 2022 and the Russian attack on its neighbor Ukraine. Why did Russian president do it? Quite possibly because of a decision by the Obama-Biden administration in 2014 did little to stop the Russian takeover of Ukrainian sea port of the Crimea.In summary, the author is most concerned about the military threat to Taiwan and the US and its allies! The people of Ukraine have received the respect of the free world (except China) for its bravery! In the near future, the interval threat to the American Republic of free speech and liberty is very high! Will disinformation be the focus of Democrats on its conservative opposition? Possibility is affirmative! Will the focus of Marxist Democrats be on the repeated narrative (propaganda) of its liberal press be a major focus? Probably yes.In any event, the author requests sincere and urgent prayer to Almighty God to save the American Republic now and until just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ! Please vote in every election in person and at the polls and assigned voting places. The Marxists do not truly want free and honest elections. President Jimmy Carter would want free and honest elections in the future! We have a responsibility to protect and preserve our two-and-a-half century American Republic!In any event, here's a message to all parents: Please encourage the need for spiritual Judeo-Christian values. These values are as important or more so, than experimenting with any illegal drugs for recreation. Why? Fentanyl is lethal many, many more times even on the first dose than legal or illegal drugs. For example, one dose of Fentanyl can kill instantly!Parents, love your children and take charge like never before! Thank you! Ps, please consider to fight against getting chipped! If you do not fight, we will have a nation of robots because of a possible loss of freedom and liberty. Embedding microchips in our pets has been on going in order to find them when lost.

Dr. Seigler has done a highly commendable job in producing a detailed biography on the life of Sir Ellis Clarke. His work, Sir Ellis Clarke: A Royal Son of the Soil is insightful, thought-provoking, and written in a reader-friendly style."Dr. Lawrence Rossow, Former Dean, University of Houston-Victoria."Sir Ellis Clarke: A Royal Son of the Soil is an eloquent biography that introduces Americans to the life of Sir Ellis Clarke, a modern-day Founding Father of Trinidad and Tobago. Readers in the United States and around the world will be the likely beneficiaries of Dr. Seigler's insight into how Sir Ellis' struggle to devise a workable constitution for his own nation, might illuminate the constitutional jurisprudence of the United States."Dr. Harvey Hinton, Former Assistant professor of Social Studies at North Carolina Central University
