Changes

by

Baby-boomers and their now adult children, due to their sheer numbers, have created the greatest sustained economic boom in history. The demand they created for consumer goods spawned whole industries to service their egocentricity including, but not limited to: credit purchases, electronics, up-scale vacations, and healthcare. Contrary to previous generations, they seem impervious to inflation – gas five bucks/gallon – so what? Their powerful ramifications have kept the USA a world leader.

NOV Kosovo 1: The Bottle, the Battle, and the Bombers: Why Kosovo Was Never Just 1999

by

When NATO started bombing Yugoslavia in 1999, most Americans discovered Kosovo approximately fifteen minutes before forming an opinion about it. The problem was that the people actually living there had been fighting over its history for roughly 600 years. From the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 and the Ottoman world of Vlad the Impaler, through Tito’s Yugoslavia and one bizarre, politically explosive glass-bottle incident in 1985, Kosovo accumulated centuries of grievances before the first NATO bomb fell. American troops arrived carrying rifles, radios, maps and rules of engagement. The Balkans were waiting with six centuries of history.

Fifth Columns Are Operating in America, Part I

by

Foreign influence, ideological networks, and institutional capture

Merriam-Webster defines a “fifth column” in its original, literal sense: “a group of secret sympathizers or supporters of an enemy that engage in espionage or sabotage within defense lines or national borders.” That is a high bar (i.e., hidden agents under foreign direction with actions timed to a military objective), and almost nothing discussed in American politics today clears it.

Kimberly Guilfoyle: What Profits a Woman to Gain the World and Lose Her Soul?

by

Kimberly Guilfoyle has spent decades surrounded by fame, wealth, beauty, and political power. From Gavin Newsom’s wife to Fox News celebrity to Trump’s ambassador to Greece, her journey raises an uncomfortable biblical question: What profits a woman to gain the whole world and lose her soul? As new financial allegations emerge, perhaps it’s time to revisit what Jesus taught about the love of money. I hope she finds redemption, because heaven doesn’t accept American Express.

The Execution of Nidal Hasan?

by

As I have said many times before, I am opposed to capital punishment. We should not kill anyone unless it is absolutely necessary, and if we have a prisoner securely and permanently confined, to the point he is unable to resist his execution, then he is sufficiently helpless enough that it is no longer necessary to kill him.

The Echo of Solzhenitsyn: Spiritual Warfare and the Illusion of Modern Man, Part 3

by

Solzhenitsyn’s address delves deeply into the concept of “man with a capital ‘M’,” critiquing the modern, inflated perception of human potential and autonomy. He warned against the hubris of believing that mankind could solve all problems through reason and science alone, a belief that has only intensified in the contemporary era. This illusion, he argued, neglects the spiritual dimensions of human existence and leads to a profound disconnection from the divine.
