A New Covenant with America
There is a saying that Republicans like big government, but Democrats like bigger government.

The Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth Has Begun
President Trump and Elon Musk have proposed a government efficiency commission designed to cut $2T from the federal government.
Proud to Be an American
I have often complained that I spent 30 years wearing the uniform of an Army that no longer exists, in service of a nation that no longer exists.
What About Cutting Spending?
Both Candidates reveal weekly their plans to cut taxes. Trump now calls for eliminating tips, overtime, and social security taxes. The Vice Prostitute is echoing some of these hollow promises while also talking about implementing awful taxes on unrealized capital gains. But what about cutting spending? Crickets. I am all for eliminating income tax (look …
Trump Blew the Debate
Of course, Trump was debating three people instead of just the cackler, but he missed a huge opportunity to win over independents with clear policy initiatives. Even this morning, with questions from a friendly audience in a Pennsylvania diner on Fox News, he failed to make key points. He was asked by one MAGA clothing-wearing …
The Left’s Hypocrisy is of Biblical Proportions
I am amazed at the hypocrisy of the Left. It’s not new, but occasionally it starts to get my goat. Here are some examples that I find particularly galling. Please add your own examples in the comments. It will be fun. There are so many to choose. Guns: The Left is intent on taking firearms …
Leave Not One Standing
Despite calls for a cease-fire, Israel needs to attack, attack, attack until not a single Hezbollah and Hamas member and supporter is left standing. This racist violence in the Middle East must end.
Manners and etiquette are a sign of respect. They show respect for both us and for others around us. Sadly, as a society, we have lost respect for one another.
Shut Down West Point, Please
By John R. “Buck” Surdu While this is a bit of hyperbole, we need to shut down West Point while the few American people who have the remotest interest or acquaintance with the military can still remember its glory and before they realize its shameful state. As a graduate of West Point who found it …
President Newsome
By John R. “Buck” Surdu I have frequently said that the Republicans are slightly less heinous than the Democrats. Since retaking the House, the Repugnant Republicans have done little to bring the country back from the brink of civil war and fascist-dominated DC. Sure, the YouTube videos of Ted Cruz, John Kennedy, and some of …
Food
by John R. “Buck” Surdu I saw this picture recently on the Internet, and it got me thinking. A lot of fascism has been foisted on citizens with the collusion of we the sheeple over the years. Often this fascism comes under the guise of promoting the “general welfare,” but it always comes with …
Racial Quotas in the Military
By John R. “Buck” Surdu Recently the Website American Greatness reported that “Biden Administration Opposes Merit-Based Military Promotions in Favor of Race Quotas.” This came on the heels of the recent Supreme Court rulings that reversed so-called “affirmative action” in college admissions. More on the orders here. Unfortunately, that ruling didn’t go far enough because …
Good News! Disney is Not Opening a New Campus in Florida.
By John R. “Buck” Surdu Recently Woke Disney Corporate announced that they had canceled their plan to move 1000 positions from Kalifornia to the Lake Nona area outside Orlando in Florida. Because of the weasel wording by Bob Iger, the America-hating and Florida-hating media jumped on this announcement to further push their anti-Florida and anti-DeSantis …
Eliminate Benefits for Congress
By John R. “Buck” Surdu Statista asserts that 78% of the American people disapprove of Congress as of April 2023. Indeed, in recent years, disapproval ratings of all federal institutions have skyrocketed. The approval rating of the person occupying the oval office is less than 30%, prompting one to think about the incredible level of …
The Law is Our Last Bulwark against Tyranny?
By Dan Davis and John R. “Buck” Surdu We all have witnessed the aggressive, “creative,” and putatively unethical behavior of a few of our prosecutors. At the same time, they have facilitated significant rises in violent crimes by creating novel excuses for releasing the most violent among us, all the while they were focused on …
The Federal Government Has Become Organized Crime
By John R. “Buck” Surdu To many conservatives, deplorables, and patriots, the Federal government has become an organized crime junta, growing its reach and power like any cartel, stealing from the people they are supposed to be serving, and openly engaging in graft and corruption. There was a time when graft and corruption were hidden, …
Is a Parental Bill of Rights a Good Idea?
by John R. “Buck” Surdu Recently House Republicans passed the “Parental Bill of Rights” bill by a narrow 213-208 vote. The Hill reported, The measure would require schools to publish their curricula publicly, mandate that parents be allowed to meet with their children’s teachers and make schools give information to parents when violence occurs on school grounds. It …
Citizen = Serf
By John R. “Buck” Surdu I have thought for a while that “citizen” has become synonymous with “serf” or “slave.” Citizens do the producing and paying, yet the ruling class vilifies them. They support the indolent through the forcible extraction of tax dollars while watching sheepishly as the fascists erode our freedoms. Our ruling class has …
The Academy Loses Its Way – Again
By John R. “Buck” Surdu This week ESPN reported that Army football player Andre Carter II was poised to be the first Army football player to be drafted in the NFL higher the seventh round in over fifty years. This sparked debate on some of the social media sites for Academy graduates. “In December, Congress passed …
Where is the “Powell Doctrine” When We Need It?
We have spent $113B in Ukraine and shipped them weapons and munitions we will likely need in a war with China that many general officers predict by 2025. If we had America-loving leaders instead of America-hating fascists running the country, we might have a more rational and explicable approach to Ukraine. Instead, we have typical …
