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

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.”
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.

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
