The Army Is Apolitical. And DFAC Coffee Is Gourmet.

by

The Army Chief of Staff is fired. Senior generals depart. The Secretary of the Army resigns. Meanwhile, the Iran war escalates and even tactical nuclear options reportedly enter Pentagon discussions.

Maybe it’s personalities and “woke generals.” Maybe it’s something much deeper happening behind classified doors.

What the hell is going on inside the Pentagon?

Sure, You Can Keep the Rifle. We’ll Just Regulate Everything That Makes It Work.

by

“Shall not be infringed” apparently comes with an asterisk. Sure, you can keep the rifle—we’ll just regulate the powder, primers, ammunition, and everything else required to make it go bang. Maryland’s five-pound smokeless-powder limit raises a much bigger constitutional question: Can government regulate around the Second Amendment by controlling what makes an arm functional?

Muslims and Their Silent Invasion of America and Europe

by

Americans have short memories. Very short.

It’s only been 25 years since Muslim terrorists launched the deadliest attack on American soil in 250 years, yet many Americans (especially Muslim-Americans) seem oblivious to that event and instead are eager to denigrate our nation as a toxic cauldron of white supremacy and Islamophobia.

Meanwhile, they push for Sharia Law and encourage women to wear the Hijab, Chador, Khimar, Niqab, etc. That tells me that those Muslims believe women should not be free to dress as they wish, and that clearly contradicts American culture and values.

America’s Rifle: The 26 Million People You Didn’t See on the Evening News

by

The evening news shows you the criminal with an AR-15. It rarely shows you the millions of Americans who own one, go to work, raise families, shoot matches, hunt, protect their homes—and never hurt anybody. The 2026 National Firearms Survey estimates 26.4 million Americans own an AR-15 or similar semiautomatic rifle. At that point, perhaps we should stop pretending it’s some exotic fringe firearm and call it what it has become: America’s Rifle. Behind every blade of grass? Maybe not—but we’re certainly working on it. God bless America. Shall not be infringed.

The Coldest Paradise in Recreational Scuba

by

There are places where the water is warm, the reefs are colorful, and every dive feels familiar. Then there’s Thunder Bay. Hidden beneath the cold, crystal-clear waters of Lake Huron lies one of North America’s greatest collections of preserved shipwrecks, where history is measured not in museums, but in feet of depth. From the beginner-friendly “Oscar T. Flint” at 33 feet, to the towering machinery of the “Montana” at 63 feet, and finally the legendary “Grecian” resting around 100 feet below the surface, few places offer such a perfect progression for recreational divers. The only catch? You have to embrace the cold—but those who do are rewarded with an underwater time capsule unlike anywhere else in the world.

Beware the Fudd: He’s Not Extinct—And Kids, You’re Using the Word Wrong

by

The Fudd isn’t simply an old guy with a walnut-stocked deer rifle. He’s the gun owner who says, “I support the Second Amendment, but nobody needs *that*.” From $20,000 shotguns to $500 AR-15s—and even the infamous “full semi-automatic”—America’s gun culture has spent decades learning that somebody else’s firearm doesn’t become less protected just because you don’t like it. Beware: the Fudd isn’t extinct. He’s evolved. And kids, you’re using the word wrong.

Thirteen Years: What Charlie Kirk Did With the Time He Was Given

by

Charlie Kirk had thirteen adult years between founding Turning Point USA at 18 and his death at 31. Thirteen years to build something that would outlive him. But perhaps his most important message wasn’t ultimately political—it was pointing young people toward faith, family, purpose, and Christ.

The next generation will be discipled. The question is who will disciple them.

As we approach the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death, perhaps the best way to honor his legacy isn’t simply to remember him. It’s to continue the mission.

Our clocks are still running. Don’t waste them.

Michigan Adds Another Felony Because You Used an iPhone

by

I learned something while sitting on a Michigan jury that sent me down one hell of a rabbit hole: Michigan can separately criminalize using a computer to commit a crime. In 2026, when your phone, truck, watch, bank, doorbell and possibly your toaster are computers, that starts sounding suspiciously like an enhancement for breathing oxygen while committing a crime.

Dad’s Permanent Trailer Plate Has Entered the Surveillance State

by

Dad thought “permanent trailer plate” meant permanent. Government apparently meant, “until you buy another trailer, peasant.” For generations, recycling an old trailer plate was the kind of technically-wrong rural economics nobody noticed unless a cop had an actual reason to look. Today, cameras, databases, and algorithms potentially can notice—and remember—things no human officer ever would have bothered with.

That raises a bigger question than Dad’s Great Trailer Plate Crime Spree: **When technology makes it possible for government to notice nearly everything, should it?**

I Don’t Believe in Miracles, Says the Miracle

by

Modern man says he doesn’t believe in miracles while standing on a wet rock hurtling through space, made of stardust, possessing consciousness nobody can fully explain, pondering a universe nobody can explain why exists. God? Ridiculous. Ancient aliens? Now you have his attention. Maybe we didn’t stop believing—we just changed the vocabulary and became selectively skeptical about which mysteries are socially acceptable. Watch for AFNN next week as we ask the uncomfortable question: “I Don’t Believe in Miracles,” Says the Miracle.

Jesus Is the Cheat Code for the Game of Life—And We Still Refuse to Use It

by

Life is the ultimate game: no instruction manual at birth, no guarantee how much time is on the clock, and plenty of opportunities to screw it up. The crazy part is that God gave us the cheat code anyway. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” We get a lifetime to figure that out, produce some good fruit, and use every redo grace gives us. But eventually, the clock hits zero.

That thing that never happens has happened again

A homosexual activist named Randon Sprinkle? I just had to check, but as far as I could find, it is his real name.

The Sword of Sharia: The Christian Test Under Sharia Law

by

Paying an unfair tax is one thing. Wearing clothes you wouldn’t otherwise wear is another. But what happens when government finally asks the question Christians have faced since Rome: Will you obey us when obeying us means disobeying Christ? That’s where Romans 13 meets Acts 5:29—and Christianity stops being a bumper sticker.

Dear Lexington gang-bangers: imitating Killadelphia isn’t a good idea.

by

Did I jinx the city of Lexington? The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Saturday afternoon that: (This) was the third weekend in a row for fatal shootings in Lexington, after six months when no homicides were reported. I noted, on August 14th: Lexington, Kentucky, current population 329,791, has seen four murders so far in 2026. Philly has …
