Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #106: Some Liberals Never Got Over The Sense Of Power They Got During Blue State Covid Lockdowns

Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #106: Some Liberals Never Got Over The Sense Of Power They Got During Blue State Covid Lockdowns

The worst part of the unconstitutional Covid economic lock downs in Washington (32 months) and Oregon (25 months) was not the fear that the “Covid police” would arrest you and/or fine you. If you were a business, however, they would and did bankrupt you. The worst part was not knowing when a Liberal would bark at you.

The Thin Veneer

We like to believe America is immune—that we’re somehow different from every civilization that came before us. History laughs at that kind of arrogance.

Yugoslavia wasn’t supposed to collapse. Rwanda wasn’t supposed to collapse. Their citizens woke up one morning convinced civilization was permanent, until they discovered it wasn’t. The most dangerous moment for any nation isn’t when people disagree. It’s when they stop believing the rules matter and begin believing only their side is legitimate.

The Constitution isn’t self-executing. Freedom isn’t self-sustaining. Civilization isn’t guaranteed.

It’s a veneer—thinner than most of us would ever dare admit.

Phil May: The Politics of Envy

FormerPresident Biden, Senator Sanders and Mr. Reich are envious of Elon Musk’s success. They want you to think he became the richest man in the world because of government subsidies and infrastructure. I’m not going to pretend that Elon Musk is a rags to riches story, but he took a lot of risks and made some very difficult decisions to get to the point he is now.

This We’ll Defend: Why the Border Belongs to the U.S. Army

The U.S. Army was created to defend the United States. Yet today, it protects borders and allies around the world while America’s own southern border is managed through a separate bureaucracy built only two decades ago. Retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor has proposed a simple but disruptive question: What if Border Patrol became part of the Army? The idea isn’t about turning soldiers into immigration agents—it’s about unifying homeland defense, eliminating redundant bureaucracy, saving taxpayer dollars, and putting America’s oldest military institution back in charge of the mission written into its very motto: “This We’ll Defend.”

News Highlights of the Week: Trannies belong in cars not women’s sports.

The information warfare machine continues to spew out its drivel. Objective: Pit you against me, in whatever form that manifests. Man against God, man against women, man against countrymen, it matters not, so long as discord and chaos reign. If you read Don’s take on the news this week, you can skip the psyops and develop a jaundiced eye toward the psyop minions: the media.

The Methodist Church Disaffiliates from Christianity

The United Methodist Church was founded by John Wesley on the core beliefs of Christianity, separated from the Church of England on some minor theological issues, and took the name Methodist because they were often described as being very Methodical in their daily practice and worship.

Why I Stopped Writing And Started Listening

I’m sure some of you have noticed I haven’t been writing as much as I used to. I get lots of emails asking why this is. Many of these emails are ultra-friendly emails, beginning with the words, “WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!!?”

To answer this, I need to start by telling you about our trip to Spain.

How Do You Sleep At Night?

At the end of Matthew 28, Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission. He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

When the Search for Truth Ends at Jesus

Truth is not determined by our feelings, our experiences, or whatever is popular this week. Even the most profound spiritual encounter still leaves one question unanswered: Is it true?

After years of searching through war, trauma, interviews, and extraordinary experiences, Shawn Ryan says his search led him to a simple conclusion—not another philosophy, not another experience, but Jesus Christ and the Bible. Whether you agree or not, his journey is a reminder that the greatest question any of us can ask isn’t, “What did I experience?” It’s, “What is true?”

For our good friends on the left, “No one is above the law” apparently doesn’t apply to illegal immigrants.

This site’s favorite whipping boy, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far, far, far left columnist Will Bunch, who’s even crazier than Amanda Marcotte if such a thing is possible, has told us how important it is to enforce the law. We have previously noted how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s radical left columnist Will Bunch was adamant in his …

The View From the Ivory Tower: Sunny Hostin’s Privilege Problem

I want to start with a confession. I do not watch The View. I have a job, a family of six, a stack of Anatomy quizzes to grade, and generally better things to do with an hour of my life than listen to five women agree with each other very loudly. But every so often the internet drags a clip across my desk that I simply cannot ignore, and this one has EVERYTHING — hypocrisy, genealogy, railroad tracks, and a lecture on privilege delivered by a woman who apparently skipped the chapter on her own family history. So grab some coffee. This is a long one, and it is worth it.

DNC is broke. Its financial situation is as bankrupt as its communist ideas.

The knives are out for Ken Martin, who heads the DNC. He sucks at fundraising and he has ticked off the DSA communists in the party.

The New York Times once again is siding with the communists as it reported, “Inside the Phone-Throwing Drama at the Troubled, Broke Democrat Party.”

Smedley Butler Was Early. Eisenhower Confirmed It. Ukraine and Iran Are Proving It.

In 1935, Smedley Butler warned that “War is a racket.” Twenty-six years later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned Americans about the growing power of the military-industrial complex. Nearly a century later, their warnings deserve another look. As America replenishes stockpiles from Ukraine and Iran while asking Ford and other manufacturers to help produce more weapons, one uncomfortable question remains: when every missile launched becomes another billion-dollar contract, who is really winning? Soldiers still pay in blood. Taxpayers still pay the bill. But someone always profits.
