It was a poet.
For decades, the official story was simple: UFOs weren’t real, and anyone who said otherwise was either confused, lying, or needed to spend less time staring at the sky and more time paying their taxes. “Swamp gas.” “Weather balloons.” “Venus.” “Camera artifacts.” The script never changed—only the excuse did. But while the grown-ups in government played dumb and the media treated the subject like a late-night punchline, Hollywood kept doing something far more dangerous: it kept normalizing the idea that we are not alone.
Life can be very hard if you don’t pay attention and learn lessons. How could this democrat crew that seemed to be all rowing in the same direction lose to a convicted felon (he cried?) Consider the line from a very famous Army/military and New York State icon. “What will be thought of him who exacts from his friends that which disgraces him?
There she is again. The Purple-Haired Warrior Activist. Posted up in the wild like a brightly colored poison dart frog—small, loud, highly visible, and absolutely convinced she’s saving the planet by screaming at strangers in public while someone films it for Instagram. You’ve seen her. Big glasses. Septum ring. Hair the color of a microwaved …

Don’t shoot the messenger. But in America, one third of children have never handwritten a letter. And it’s not just kids. Nearly 40 percent of adult Americans haven’t written a letter in the last five years, while 43 percent of Millenials have never sent one in their lifetime.
Do you ever wish there were at least some things in the world that didn’t change? At least some things that were not destroyed by the ever-twisting depravity of our modern culture? I do.
That the Roman Catholic Church, of which I am a proud member, supports far less restrictive transnational immigration is well known, and His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has been pushing hard on the subject. Thus, the following article comes as no surprise to me: UPDATE: ICE deported Minnesota church employee, surveilled parish during Mass, mayor …
Not since slave-loving Democrats provoked the succession of Southern states from the Union have Democrats demonstrated such hatred for America, but that is exactly what is happening today in Minnesota and Minneapolis.
You want a career with adventure? DHS can send you to “beautiful locations.” And by “beautiful locations,” I mean the kind of places where people scream in your face while filming you vertically like they’re making an audition tape for America’s Next Professional Victim.
New research reports that, thanks to smartphones, kids are smarter today than their ancestors ever were. “Technology,” the article said, “is expanding the American IQ.”
A recent Institute for Family Studies survey underscores how conservatives place a higher value on marriage, parenthood and faith than leftists leading to stark differences in family, wellbeing, and demographics.
By any honest accounting, the pandemic did more than disrupt daily life. It rewired cultural instincts, reshaped how Americans relate to authority, and quietly altered how dissent is treated in a society that once prized it. The damage was not limited to lost lives or lost income; it extended into trust, neighborliness, and the very idea of personal agency.
I was a general’s aide-de-camp, which meant my actual job was not assisting, but intercepting stupidity before it reached flag rank. My boss lived in a world where things simply worked. Vehicles appeared complete. Schedules ran. Equipment existed. That didn’t happen by magic — it happened because several people quietly absorbed chaos so he never had to.
The cited article below comes from The Irish Times, published in Dublin, and what passes for the only newspaper of record in that heavily Catholic country.
