Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
David T. Cloft 
Every December, right on schedule, someone announces with great confidence that writing “Xmas” is a sinister attempt to erase Christ. Cue the outrage, the memes, and the self-appointed guardians of seasonal orthodoxy. And every year, history calmly clears its throat, raises one eyebrow, and says: “Actually… no.”
There’s a reason our ancestors didn’t hold hands, light candles, and sing to wolves. They eradicated them. Not out of ignorance, not out of cruelty, but out of lived experience. Wolves weren’t abstract symbols on a Patagonia catalog; they were competitors, livestock killers, and a direct threat to survival.
Humans didn’t wake up one day and decide, “You know what would be fun? Being irrationally creeped out by a legless tube of teeth and venom.” We were built this way.
PART III — Evil, Responsibility, and the Right Scripture Never Denied Gun control rhetoric depends on the denial of evil. Not theoretical evil. Not metaphorical evil. Real, predatory, indifferent-to-rules evil. The kind that doesn’t care what laws were passed or how well intentions were worded. Criminals do not follow laws. Psychopaths do not respond to …
If you’ve tried everything else, try the one thing that isn’t just another version of you trying harder. Try grace. Try the One who actually knows you.
Americans are raised to believe that safety is a service provided by the state, like water or electricity. Something you pay for, something that flows on demand. It’s a comforting idea—and completely false.
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations — was created in the 1970s to stop Soviet spies from sneaking American missiles out in suitcases. It made sense back then. The battlefield was tanks, jets, rifles, and radios. Power was measured in steel and gunpowder.
The Second Amendment was not written in poetic ambiguity. It was written with brutal clarity by men who had just finished shooting their way out of tyranny.
Someone once said life is short, but that’s not quite right. Life isn’t just short — it’s strategic. It’s the brief stage where humans decide whether they want to be restored imagers of God under Christ, or remain in rebellion with the powers who oppose Him.
The Second Amendment didn’t erode in a single dramatic moment. It was smothered slowly, bureaucratically, and with just enough moral theater to keep polite people quiet.
Every year, right on schedule, someone announces that Christmas is “really pagan,” that Christians stole December 25, and therefore the celebration is tainted. This is what happens when people learn one fact, ignore ten others, and then build a personality around it.
Syria is not a declared war. There is no Syria-specific Authorization for Use of Military Force. There is no victory condition, no end state, no honest explanation that survives five follow-up questions.
If you want to understand Christmas like the New Testament does, you don’t start with December 25. You start with war; Just not the kind fought with steel and blood
Christians don’t need gimmicks to believe the Bible—but we do need to stop reading it like modern people who assume the universe is silent. The biblical authors didn’t.
Arctic warfare has always been the great equalizer. It humbles superpowers, burns through armies, and rewards only the few who understand that in the North, the environment is the real four-star general.
Every few years, Washington discovers a brand-new way to make ordinary people miserable in the name of “security.” The latest brainstorm? A proposed rule requiring visitors from 42 friendly nations—including Australia—to hand over five years of their social media history just to enter the United States.
America doesn’t have a nursing problem—we have a bureaucracy problem. Every time Washington claims it’s going to “fix” something, it adds another layer of paperwork, redefinitions, and unelected decision-makers who have never set foot in a hospital at 3 a.m.
Most people have heard the phrase “the image of God,” but very few have ever stopped to ask what it actually means. We’ve inherited modern assumptions
For decades, Americans have trusted the United States Naval Academy to produce the second finest officers ever to run aground in shallow water. But troubling new reports suggest that midshipmen may be engaged in an old Navy pastime that predates modern refrigeration, nuclear propulsion, and personal dignity.
Carl Sagan wasn’t a prophet; he was the patron saint of smug. The original PBS influencer before social media existed. And like most influencers, he had one core belief: “I am smarter than 2,000 years of biblical wisdom.”
