From the Cold War Frontlines to the Kansas Heartland: The New Homegrown Socialist/Communist Threat

In the 1960s, wearing the uniform of the United States Army, my mission was unambiguous: our job was to stand against and deter communist expansion. We understood the stakes of the Cold War,

Ballots or Bullets? — Freedom or Tyranny

We must face reality head on. We are on the precipice of tyranny. And we have a simple choice. We can choose to use our ballot to retain our freedoms, or we can defer, and be forced into using the bullet to gain them back. To inform us of that choice we must look at our recent history, and our nation’s history.

Why Are Conservatives More Attractive Than Liberals?

I have long maintained: Put ten Liberals on one side of the room and ten Conservatives on the other side, all of whom are strangers to me and I can tell you which is which within a minute or two, with 100% accuracy. Ten percent of one’s appearance is controlled by choices the person makes.

Democrats’ Nine-Step Model Toward Civil War: No. 7 Is Just Beginning

Democrats’ Nine-Step Model Toward Civil War: No. 7 Is Just Beginning

Civil wars start with a trigger event, orchestrated or not. Examples of triggers: Disputed election in 2026 or 2028. Political assassination or major attack. A state-federal standoff turning violent. Supreme Court decision that causes massive unrest. Financial crisis or dollar crisis.

El-Sayed PRESSED over alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties

National Review columnist Caroline Downey joins ‘The Evening Edit’ to discuss Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s denial of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and a federal probe connected to the Ilhan Omar investigation.

Best midterm strategy? Finish the job

What is the use of being president if you don’t do the job as you see fit?

Weather be damned, President Trump held a rally in Oklahoma to a full house. He told the crowd, “So I was in Texas. And they said, ‘Sir, I think we’re gonna have to cancel Oklahoma. The weather is terrible.’ You can’t take the helicopter, sir. You can’t take the plane. I said, ‘Why can’t they take?’ ‘Well, it’s a very long drive.’ And I said, ‘How long?’ They said, ‘It could be long, sir.’ I said, ‘How fast does the Beast travel?’ They said, ‘We could go close to 100 miles an hour.’ I said, ‘Get your asses in that car. We’re going to Oklahoma. We’re going to Oklahoma.’”

PRE-ELECTION: Trump, Dracula, and the Art of Looking Crazy

Maybe Donald Trump isn’t crazy. Maybe looking a little crazy is the whole point. Vlad the Impaler understood that reputation, fear, and unpredictability could be weapons against a stronger enemy. Six centuries later, Trump may be playing a strangely similar game: keep Putin, Xi, and Tehran wondering, “WTF…he might actually do it.”

5th Generation War , Part 3: How Do We Save the Republic Without Committing Suicide?

The greatest danger in fifth-generation warfare may not be what our enemies do to us, but what we do to ourselves trying to stop them. Lincoln warned that if America were ever destroyed, “we must ourselves be its author and finisher.” The answer isn’t censorship, blind trust in government, or blind distrust of it. It is resilient institutions, transparent elections, evidence, critical thinking, and citizens willing to defend the rights of people they despise. The Human Domain is contested terrain—but if we surrender our liberty to defend it, we have already lost the battle.

From Finland to the U.P.: SISU, Socialism, Saunas

From Finland’s rocky farms to the copper mines and forests of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Finnish immigrants brought more than strong backs and “SISU” to America. They brought faith, saunas, traditions—and fierce arguments over labor, capitalism and socialism that divided “Church Finns” and “Red Finns” more than a century ago. Their remarkable story of immigration, revolution, war and assimilation helped shape northern Michigan and reminds us that many of the political debates Americans wrestle with today are anything but new.

Where Are the Watchdogs? The Media’s Deafening Silence on Government Fraud

Where are the watchdogs? I have been asking myself that question for months. It is a story every American needs to hear, yet legacy media outlets have decided you don’t need to know.

The Tea Party Treatment for the America First Coalition: Same playbook, same coalition

In 2009, a grassroots revolt against bailouts, bureaucratic overreach, and a bipartisan Washington consensus was met – within a few short years – by a coordinated squeeze from four directions at once. The squeezers included the Democrat Party and Obama White House, their legacy media sycophants, the Republican establishment, and the trade associations and consultants who depend on both parties staying roughly where they are, politically speaking.
