Betwixt and Between

by

America is betwixt and between more things than you can shake a stick at.  The conflict with Iran is on the front burner.  Every election cycle at every level is another contest worth winning.  Every institution – Government, Business, Education, Media, Arts and Entertainment, Religion, and Family is caught in the crossfire of a No Mans Lands in the Great U.S. Culture War.  That’s the struggle against Cultural Marxism and it’s new, best ally – Islamist Totalitarianism.

A Fatal Flaw of Feminism: It’s not a numbers game

by

Feminism has been a curse on the American body politic since it merged with Marxist critical theory concepts in the 1960s, long after the woman’s suffrage movement led the passage of the 19th Amendment (women’s right to vote). It has been in the vanguard of the leftwing cultural revolution that has divided America – and men and women – for six decades while destroying the hopes and dreams of two generations of young women who absorbed the radical ideology at the cost of human happiness and fulfillment.

Do Your Rights Come from God?

by

There are no “God Given Rights” explicitly laid out in the Bible. The concept of a human rights began in 1215 under the Magna Carta. Rights come from the Government, but God issues principals and values. Not rights. Rights: Rights are inherent to individuals by virtue of their humanity. They are typically regarded as fundamental, …

A Continued Path to Glory and Peace

by

Today, we Americans are marching to a new ‘Path to Glory” for our country much as our founders and ancestors had to do. Today, we must continue to be Americans First citizens and rise above partisan politics and political parties. We must face the future solving our problems and plans looking through a reality prism not a political one and seek to restore this great country, our Republic and the Constitution. The goal ahead is to select common-sense leaders who understand our challenges and have the vision to lead us to a secure America so all can be in the pursuit of happiness and a thankful life.

Hard Times, Soft People, and the Lie We Tell Ourselves

by

The now-famous line popularized by G. Michael Hopf—“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times”—isn’t just internet wisdom wrapped in a motivational poster. It’s a stripped-down field manual for understanding why civilizations rise, peak, wobble, and then fall flat on their face.

Why We Call It Political Science

by

Let us dive a bit deeper into Aristotle’s view of politics and how it differed from his teacher Plato.  Previously we saw how Aristotle disagreed with his teacher Plato that only a philosopher king could properly rule.  Aristotle believed that humans were inherently flawed and that reality required just laws to be supreme in order to …

Reefer Madness Wasn’t a Movie—It Was a 100-Year Information Operation

by

There’s a comfortable lie Americans like to tell themselves: that we are too smart, too informed, too free to be manipulated at scale. That propaganda is something that happens in other countries, to other people, under other flags. Then you dig up a grainy black-and-white relic like Reefer Madness and realize—no, we ran one of the most effective information operations in modern history… on ourselves.

Welcome to the War You Didn’t Notice: Living in Fifth-Generation Conflict Since 2019

by

There was no declaration. No troop movement you could point to on a map. No shock-and-awe campaign lighting up the night sky. And yet somewhere around 2019, the world shifted—and it hasn’t felt normal since. That’s because the battlefield changed. We are now living inside what military thinkers call Fifth-generation warfare. And unlike every war that came before it, this one isn’t being fought over land. It’s being fought over you.

We cannot go back in time to take advantage of opportunities we have already passed up

by

My good friend Robert Stacy McCain fisked an article from The New York Times, one which tried to make the case that American women postponing childbirth might still have children later in life. “Fertility delayed is fertility denied” is one of the great maxims of demographics. As a matter of statistical average, postponing parenthood means …
