Mind Games: How They Play Us; Part II
Social media took human beings — once capable of nuance, friendship, and healthy disagreement — and shoved us back into warring tribes like it’s 10,000 BC and someone stole the mammoth meat.

A Thanksgiving We Barely Recognize: The Real Story Behind the Myth
the real Thanksgiving — the one we refuse to talk about — looked nothing like a Hallmark card. It was less a celebration of abundance and more a collective sigh of relief that they weren’t dead yet.

Mind Games: How They Play Us; A Three-Part Series on Manipulation, Tribalism, and the Illusion of Thinking for Ourselves
It Doesn’t Take a Genius to See What’s Coming (But Apparently It Takes More Than We’ve Got)
You don’t need a PhD in economics to know when the herd is about to stampede. All you need is a functioning pair of eyeballs, a basic memory of 2008, and maybe a little common sense — which in modern America qualifies as a superpower.
The Forgotten Genocide: When the World Looked Away from Christian Armenia
Author’s Note: Tradition holds that the Armenian Church was founded by two of Jesus’ apostles — Thaddeus (also known as Jude Thaddeus) and Bartholomew — who preached the Gospel in Armenia during the 1st century A.D. While Americans scroll, rage, and “fight” spiritual wars on social media, a real one ended quietly in the mountains …
America’s Political Reality Show: Loyalty, Disillusionment, and the Slow-Motion Shipwreck
There’s a pattern playing out on the American political stage, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation didn’t create it—she merely made it impossible to ignore.
No — The Crusades Were Not a Good Thing, and Modern Calls for Holy War Are Not Biblical or Constitutional
The real danger isn’t Christians defending their families or forming lawful militias. The danger is people confusing holy war rhetoric with biblical responsibility and constitutional order.
The New Age “Christian” Religion; or Simply 2,500-year Ood Gnosticism Wearing Yoga Pants
The modern New Age movement loves to pretend it’s some groundbreaking spiritual awakening, but it’s really just repackaged Gnosticism wearing yoga pants and clutching a crystal.
The Most Dysfunctional Time of the Year (And Nowhere in the Bible Does It Say “Put a Tree in Your House”)
Let’s be honest: this season is a pressure cooker disguised with twinkly lights. Credit cards get maxed out, travel is miserable, food is overpriced, and somehow every family expects you to teleport between states so you can sit at a table with your cousin who still thinks you “changed after high school.”
The Uncharted Challenge: Why the Darien Gap Remains Roadless
The Darien Gap, a rugged expanse of dense rainforest and swampy terrain stretching between Panama and Colombia, stands as one of the last great roadless areas in the Americas. Despite advancements in engineering and infrastructure, no road has been built through this formidable region
Professor Timmy Demands West Point Cancel Boot Camp & Replace It With Sensitivity Training
Listen up, cadets — your dusty old institution is under siege… from me, the world’s most offended armchair critic. As someone who’s never fired a rifle, never been marched at 5 a.m., and whose greatest battle was choosing between oat milk or almond at Starbucks, I hereby launch my campaign to transform West Point into Soy Boy University — the safe space you never knew you wanted.
The Officer’s Oath: Why It’s Different—and Why It Matters
In 1787, our founders wrote something radical into the Constitution: every official—civilian, military, executive, judicial—would swear allegiance not to a man, but to an idea. Article VI makes it clear: the oath is to the Constitution. Period.
America’s Rifle: The AR Was Born a .308 — And It’s Time We Admit We Screwed Up
If we’re going to call the AR the “Modern Sporting Rifle,” let’s stop pretending it should be chambered in something that looks like it came out of a Pez dispenser.
How One General Serves Two Masters — And Somehow Doesn’t Get Court-Martialed for It
Here’s a fun riddle: what do you call a man who works for the President of the United States and thirty-one other heads of state — all at once — and can’t tick off any of them? Answer: The SACEUR.
The Great Sleep Scam: How We Forgot to Shut Down Like Our Ancestors
The idea of a solid, industrial-grade, perfectly rectangular block of sleep is about as old as the lightbulb—and about as natural as chicken nuggets.
The Savagery We Forgot: Bosnia’s War Didn’t Fade — We Just Stopped Looking
America has the attention span of a goldfish on an energy drink. If a war isn’t trending, isn’t hashtagged, or doesn’t have a Marvel movie tie-in, it simply evaporates from public memory. And so we forgot Bosnia.
America’s Greatest National Security Threat: Look in the Mirror
Forget the Kremlin. The real threat to America isn’t Putin’s tanks—it’s the slow, grinding implosion of our own economy. The almighty dollar, once the bedrock of global finance, is leaking power as BRICS nations build workarounds
Consciousness: The One Thing Science Can’t Explain (But Pretends It Can)
Science loves to strut like it has every answer. Neurons fire, brain scans glow, and voilà — that’s you. Except… not really. Because when it comes to consciousness — the simple fact that you’re aware that you exist — science is still fumbling in the dark.
Deer Hunting – Grandpa, His .35 Remington and the Gospel According to Garand
I never met my grandpa, but I know enough about him from the rifle he left behind — a .35 Remington that thumps like a mule and feels like it was carved from a block of American stubbornness. He called it a “good bush gun,” and he was right. I
The Real Story Behind the Gettysburg Handshake
We all know the iconic photo: an old Union veteran in blue shaking hands with a Confederate in gray at the 1913 Gettysburg reunion. It’s become the symbol of forgiveness — proof that America “healed” fifty years after the Civil War. But the truth underneath it is far more complicated.
