Why are so many violent haters of Western civilization themselves children of wealth and privilege?

by

The Philadelphia Inquirer published photos of the homes of the two Bucks County, Pennsylvania, ‘men’ charged with throwing homemade bombs at a protest outside of Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s official residence, in New York City. To the left is the newspaper’s photo of the Clymer Street home of 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi. It did not take …

From Prairie Reinvention to Permanent Record: The Death of Disappearing in Digital America

There was a time in America when you could punch your Army captain, skip town, grow a beard, head west, and become “Samuel Whitaker, cattleman and church deacon.” Today? You can’t change your Instagram handle without a two-factor authentication code, three archived screenshots, and your ex forwarding it to your employer.

Iran: The Revolution That Ate Its Own Children – A Brief History

by

When Americans think about Iran, the story usually begins in 1979—angry crowds, burning flags, and a stern cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini taking control of the country. But that snapshot hides something important. Iran—historically Persia—is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Its history stretches back thousands of years, and the country that emerged after 1979 is not the inevitable outcome of Persian history. In many ways, it was a political accident born from revolution, miscalculation, and a brutal consolidation of power.

The Michigan Deer Debacle: How the DNR Managed to Fail Hunters, Farmers, and the Deer Herd All at Once

by

For generations, deer hunting has been woven into Michigan’s identity. Opening day used to look like a state holiday. Orange jackets in diners at 4 a.m., rifles leaning in pickup trucks, kids learning from their dads and grandfathers that hunting wasn’t just about venison—it was about discipline, stewardship, and tradition. But if you look at the numbers today, something has gone badly wrong. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has spent decades regulating, restricting, tweaking, and “managing” the deer herd, yet the results speak for themselves: declining harvests, shrinking hunter participation, and a system so tangled that it now struggles to produce enough hunters to even keep the herd under control.

Unoffendable and the Warrior: Reconciling Patton with the Sermon on the Mount

by

When my church announced that our next Bible study would be based on “Unoffendable” by Brant Hansen, I’ll admit it — I was irritated (slightly offended). The title alone sounded like something designed to sand the edges off men. “Unoffendable” feels like the spiritual equivalent of bubble wrap. And if you’ve spent decades in uniform, leading soldiers, planning operations, and living inside a culture where decisiveness matters and hesitation kills, your instinct is to bristle.

America the Beautiful, America the Invaded

by

As many as 15-20 million illiterate and unskilled migrants invaded our nation during the horrendous four years of the Biden administration. Hundreds of thousands—possibly millions—of them were violent criminals, slackers looking for a welfare check, or extremists here to set up terrorist cells.

Is the new “Restore Britain” movement in the U.K. a blueprint for America?

We are squandering our country’s wealth to accommodate 10-15 million unskilled, unvetted, third-world intruders who were invited to surge America’s open borders by Joe Biden and his duplicitous Democrat underlings.

At 250, the Republic Is Missing: How America Quietly Rebuilt the Tyranny It Rebelled Against

by

At 250 years old, the United States has not collapsed. There are no tanks in the streets or dictators on balconies. Instead, America has done what nearly every revolution before it has done: it defeated an obvious form of tyranny and then slowly reconstructed a more efficient, more sophisticated version of it.

The Clipboard Strikes Back: Why Washington Wants You to Confess Your AI

by

Over the past two years, federal agencies have quietly moved from curiosity about artificial intelligence to formal requirements to identify, inventory, and govern its use. If an AI system influences decisions, analysis, or operations—especially if that system is commercial, third-party, or not owned by the government—someone is now expected to document it. Contractors are learning this lesson the fastest. If AI touches a deliverable, an auditor somewhere wants to know about it.
