The Symbolism of 9/11, Part 2: The Fork in the Road, Repentance or Ruin
Every empire faces a choice after its moment of reckoning. Rome fell not from the barbarians at the gates, but from decay within—corruption, luxury, and moral collapse. America now stands in the same valley of decision.
WOKE Is Still Targeting Our Constitutional Foundations
They lost the Executive and Legislative Branches, but they are conducting all-out war from the Judiciary! It is no longer guerilla tactics but all-out war! How can a Christian sit silently as the foundations of our “one nation under God” are attacked?
The Symbolism of 9/11, Part 1: The Long Arc of a Nation’s Fall

The State Department. It Needs Reform…Badly.
Marco Rubio is working to make the State Department bureaucracy focused on serving American interests, not staffers looking at their DEI assignment/promotion. Sheriff murdered. Innocent women and children blown to bits! We’ve got to protect our phony-baloney jobs. We must do something about this immediately, immediately, immediately! Governor William J. Lepetomane (Mel Brooks), Blazzing …
The NFA in 2025: How America Made Guns a Rich Person’s Hobby
Remember the $200 tax in 1934? That’s roughly $4,822 today. Imagine being told you have the right to defend yourself, but first, cough up five grand to the government—or don’t even bother. That wasn’t a minor inconvenience; that was a full-blown economic veto on liberty.

If We’re Bringing Back the Department of War, Let’s Make the Eagle Honest Again

Billions Spent, No Lives Saved: The Military’s Suicide “Prevention” Industry

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, and Why It Still Stings in 2025
It is often said that Ayn Rand wrote not with a pen or a typewriter, but more likely, a sledgehammer. Still and all, Dave Cloft walks us through someof her concepts from Atlas shrugged that are still apt today.
Federalist 80: The Jurisdiction of the Judiciary

Why Do We Allow Our Rights To Be Trampled Upon? by George Mcclellan

The Great Awakening from the Age of Stupidity (aka the last 16 years since Obama became president) has begun.
