AOC is DOA Via DSA

AOC, when accused of being a socialist, had this to say: “Can I tell you a secret? Most people don’t really know what capitalism is; most people don’t even know what socialism is. But most people are not capitalist because they don’t have capitalist money. They’re not billionaires.”

I’m sorry Honey, this M14 followed me home! Can I keep it?

Nearly 750,000 U.S. M14 rifles were destroyed after the Cold War, many meeting their end at Anniston Army Depot in the jaws of a hydraulic shear known as “Captain Crunch.” Now, history is taking a different path. Beginning in January 2027, the CMP expects to offer permanently converted semi-automatic M14s to qualified Americans for under $2,000. Every rifle sold preserves a piece of American military history while helping fund junior shooting programs, Camp Perry, scholarships, and the future of competitive marksmanship. Sometimes, the best way to honor history isn’t to put it in a museum—it’s to put it back on the firing line.

Where Has Critical Thinking Gone?

When Schools Teach Young People What to Think Instead of How to Think

My fellow West Point graduate John Dube, Class of 1983, recently shared a lengthy Facebook post written by Mike Rowe. Most people know Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs and from the work he has done promoting skilled labor, personal responsibility, and common sense. After reading what John shared, I decided I probably ought to follow Mike on Facebook myself.

The Questions That Refuse to Die

Every generation invents a new philosophy, a new guru, or a new formula for happiness. Yet the questions that have haunted humanity for thousands of years refuse to go away. Why are we here? Why does evil exist? Why do we long for justice? What gives life meaning? Long before self-help books, podcasts, and influencers, one book confronted those questions head-on. Whether you approach it with faith or skepticism, the Bible remains the only book that doesn’t simply tell us how to live—it first explains why life exists at all. Before dismissing its answers, perhaps we should ask whether any other worldview explains reality, morality, purpose, suffering, and the human condition more completely.

Trump To Stop Smithsonian’s War On American History

Trump To Stop Smithsonian's War On American History

Smithsonian is obviously working to undermine US history & indoctrinate generations of young Americans with Marxist ideas at taxpayer expense. Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars are being weaponized to wage all-out war on American history, values, heritage, and greatness. WH is punching back.

Jim Crow 2.0: How the Minimum Wage Became the Democrat Party’s Favorite Racist law of the Left.

Let me open with the sentence that is going to make several people very uncomfortable before I have even finished my coffee.
The minimum wage is a Jim Crow law. Not “Jim Crow adjacent.” Not “has some racist history if you squint.” An actual, documented, still-functioning mechanism for locking people out of the labor market and into government dependency — built by the same coalition, defended by the same party, and producing the same outcome it was engineered to produce a century ago.

RISE stands for Recovery, Independence, Skills, and Employment: A replacement for Welfare

Dave and Sarah had committed the cardinal sin of being responsible adults. They owned a home. They had a car that was paid off. They had $3,200 in a savings account — money they’d been scraping together for years to have SOMETHING in case of emergency. And now the emergency was here, and the government said, “Sorry, you’re too rich for help.”

The Hunter’s Paradox: More Hunters, Fewer Hurdles… But at What Cost?

**The Hunter’s Paradox:** We want more hunters, so we remove barriers. More online classes. More convenience. More participation. But when the tool in your hands is capable of taking a life, is convenience always the right answer? As a Hunter Education instructor and retired Army officer, I believe knowledge can come from a computer—but safe gun handling must be passed from one human being to another. The future of hunting depends on growing our ranks without compromising the traditions and safety that built them.
