Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.

The Iron Major was never meant to be cool. He wasn’t a door kicker, a tank commander, or a helicopter pilot. He was something more tragic—a Jedi Knight of staffing, a warrior-monk assigned to pour black coffee into his bloodstream and rearrange briefing charts until the colonel approved the shade of blue.
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.”

Lately, something unexpected has happened: gas prices have fallen sharply, reaching some of the lowest levels since 2021. And while politicians will happily claim credit for it, the truth has nothing to do with speeches, slogans, or campaign ads. What’s happening is straightforward: the world is drowning in oil.
Bosnia’s collapse wasn’t ancient history. It wasn’t a medieval tribal feud. It wasn’t inevitable. It was a functional, modern, educated society that disintegrated in less than two years — not because of poverty, not because of famine, not because of foreign invasion — but because its political factions became so polarized that neighbors stopped seeing each other as citizens and started seeing each other as enemies.
If you think Joe Biden was the worst POTUS in history… you’ve never read about Woodrow Wilson. He didn’t just break America — he formatted the hard drive.
Scripture teaches something modern diplomacy avoids: nations are not equal in strength, discipline, or character. Some restrain evil; others unleash it.
Every December, the same myth rises from the grave like a bad History Channel rerun: the idea that the U.S. government had advance knowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor and let it happen
Michael Heiser wrote What Does God Want? to bulldoze the religious clutter modern Christianity has wrapped around the gospel. Pastors padded it. Denominations complicated it. Church culture buried it.
If you ever want to study a perfect psychological operation — a full-spectrum manipulation campaign run against an entire population — Just look at American gun control.
Every few years, America picks up some shiny new bad idea, polishes it with jargon, markets it with hashtags, and forces the rest of us to pretend it’s brilliant. Today, the reigning champion of American intellectual embarrassment is something called Critical Theory
Until institutions decide to reward courage instead of punishing imperfection, we’ll keep getting leaders who need 27 meetings to schedule a meeting.
There’s a point where a PSA stops raising awareness and starts re-traumatizing survivors. There’s a point where a campaign meant to shock becomes so explicit that it normalizes the very evil it’s trying to fight.
If you stacked every leadership book published since the 1980s, you could climb it and slap the International Space Station. And every single one says the Exact. Same. Thing.
Remember when leaders actually led? When decisions were made by people with chests instead of committees with spreadsheets?
Modern climate politics treats humanity like an invasive species. We’re told we consume too much, build too much, develop too much, and emit too much. The message is clear: human beings are the problem, and the earth must be protected from us.
Ever since Michigan became a state in 1837, there’s been a quiet tug-of-war between the rugged north and the political south. The Upper Peninsula didn’t even want to be part of Michigan in the first place — it was handed to Lansing as part of the Toledo War settlement.
The OnlyFans phenomenon isn’t a story about her success — it’s a postmortem on modern manhood. When a society destroys real community, mocks purpose, and replaces relationships with screens, people will rent connection wherever they can find it.
America used to build things — bridges, railroads, skyscrapers, ships, engines, rockets that broke gravity’s neck. Now we build strip malls that collapse after 12 winters and school systems that produce seniors who can’t measure a 2×4 without crying.
The Nazis didn’t merely “misuse” Christianity. They mugged it in the alley, stole its jacket, and strutted around pretending to be holy.
