History Wars in Virginia

History Wars in Virginia; The Virginia School Board corrected their awful first draft of the Standards of Learning for History and Social Studies. The Democrats controlling the Virginia Senate rejected the Republican Governor’s appointments to the Virginia Board of Education for cleaning up the CRT and other errors in the first draft.

Name Your Enemy

For over 20 years I’ve despaired of finding the right name for the political opposition to Conservatives, the ideas of the American Revolution, and our 1787 Constitution as amended. Nothing fit. Much like the floundering the Bush Administration babbled about our enemies post 9-11 and in Iraq after we invaded – if you can’t name …

Superbowl 2023: E Pluribus Unum

The Superbowl is one of our few remaining all-American experiences. Neither traditional holidays, which mean decidedly different things to Americans deeply divided by the Great U.S. Culture War, nor any other public event pulls together so many Americans.

The Deep, Deep State of Intelligence

The Deep, Deep State of Intelligence. Lede: I only had one Intelligence job in the Cold War Army. 90 days as a Brigade S-2 in the Fulda Gap got me read on monthly to the Division’s “Black Book” latest on terrorists and the Soviets. It was an eye-opener on what our people knew. As a DoD …

A 2023 MLK Retrospective

A 2023 MLK Retrospective. This week was the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Day holiday. His is the only national holiday named for one man.

The New Huddled Masses

Immigration

The new huddled masses shouldn’t be celebrated like the legal immigrants who passed inspection at Ellis Island to become great Americans.  The new huddled masses are both foreign and native origin.  They’re a pox upon America.  Millions of illegal aliens, the underclass, and the fearful peasants are our new, ignoble huddled masses. The millions of …

West Point’s Worldview

West Point

West Point’s Worldview; There is a moral aspect to leadership. Even in the evil business of war there is a moral aspect to every life and death decision. Formerly, the United States Army was grounded in a consensus Judeo-Christian culture. It had a moral-ethical basis which could be traced to words written in the Holy Bible. …

Republicans’ Acid Test on Illegal Immigration

Immigration

When, not if, the flood of illegal aliens invading the U.S. becomes a raging torrent with end of the Title 42 speedbump, the Republicans need to say what they will do. Other than raise money, what will they actually do about the illegal aliens already here? Republicans can raise money and run hard on the …

American Karens Vote Commie

American Karens Vote Commie. The Blue breakwater to the Red Wave was single women and young people. Other demographics moved as expected. Single Women voting for the disaster that is Biden Administration have to be as doctrinaire as the most carping, Pandemic-crazed Karens imaginable. The young people voting for Human Secular Totalitarianism have the more charitable …

Virginia’s History and Social Sciences Choice

Virginia’s periodic review of K-12 History and Social Sciences Standards of Learning (SOLs) produced a politically correct 402 page monstrosity in August. It was revised to a much improved 53 page piece in October. The Left, including the NAACP, is pushing back with inflammatory rhetoric absent any or all facts. History and Social Sciences aren’t …
