Death by Regulation: How the DoD Lost Its Outdoor Soul
Once upon a time, every Army post had a Rod & Gun Club. Soldiers swapped stories over clays and venison stew, learned real firearm safety, and taught their kids what stewardship and discipline looked like. The firing line wasn’t political; it was practical. It built better Soldiers, shooters, better conservationists, and frankly, better Americans.
From Farmer Strikes to Fighter Jets: Meet NATO’s New Boss, Mark Rutte
Hey, remember that wild farmer strike in the Netherlands a couple years back? The one where thousands of angry Dutch farmers rolled their tractors onto highways, blocked airports, and sprayed manure at government buildings because the government wanted to shut down half their farms to “save the environment”?

The War That Never Was”–An alternative history grounded in the real NATO, Part II
For a decade, Europe’s generals had lived in a post-Soviet afterglow, studying maps of Kaliningrad, the Suwałki Gap, and the Carpathians. Russia was weak, its army hollow, its population declining.
The War That Never Was”–An alternative history grounded in the real NATO, Part I
An alternative history built from the true Balkans laboratory that almost ignited something far larger.
NATO: The Next World War Won’t Start with a Bang — It Already Started with a Treaty
George Washington warned us 230 years ago to “steer clear of entangling alliances.” We didn’t listen. Europe didn’t either in 1914 — and one royal assassination later, the whole continent lit itself on fire.
The Department of War Is Back — And About Time
I entered the Army in July of 1993, before President Clinton’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” experiment. Back then, the military was still primarily about blowing holes in things, breaking enemy armies, and defending the Republic. Then slowly, like a frog in a pot, the Pentagon began feeding the social science laboratory every “good idea” — except the good ideas about how to win wars.
Pete Hegseth’s Wrecking Ball to the U.S. Military — and Why It’s Exactly What We Need
This week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth did something extraordinary: he swung a wrecking ball into the bloated bureaucracy and reminded 800 generals that their job is not to manage feelings — it’s to win wars.
Hillary Clinton and the Needle in a Haystack
As Secretary of State during Barack Obama’s first term in the White House, Hillary Clinton chose to violate the law and route all of her email traffic, both personal and work-related, through a private email server in her home in Chappaqua, New York.
Trump games Schumer; Democrats have made themselves irrelevant.

DACOWITS: 74 Years of Social Experimentation and Blood Soaked Outcomes
The Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services (DACOWITS) billed itself as a “voice for progress.” In reality, it became something far more dangerous: the longest-running social science experiment on the backs of America’s fighting men and women.

All the Left Knows Is Violence
America, we have serious problems. None that God can’t fix. Our nation could be restored — from lies, deception, violence, bankruptcy and destruction to wisdom, security and Godly peace.
Woke Wars Kill, by American Citizen, John Galt
The Pentagon isn’t focused on warfighting anymore. It’s obsessed with DEI quotas and social-engineering experiments. “Representation” is now more important than readiness.
More Brass Than Backbone: The Generals Who Sold Out the Army
The U.S. Army has lost its edge — not because of the troops, but because of the brass. There are now more general officers on active duty than there are infantry companies in the field. Think about that
Why We Need a Long-Term National Security Strategy
How and why have China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran not only survived but advanced their strategic priorities at the expense of ours?
Iran: China Bet on the Wrong Horse; Communist Chinese investments in Iran are at risk
