Safety Above Freedom: How Good Intentions Built the Modern Nanny State

by

These phrases are the verbal equivalent of pulling the fire alarm in an argument. Once someone says them, anyone who disagrees immediately looks like a monster. After all, who wants to be the guy standing up and saying, “Actually, I prefer freedom even if it’s risky”? That’s not exactly a great campaign slogan. But history shows that these exact phrases — the language of safety, fairness, and collective good — are often the first step in breaking down systems built on individual responsibility and replacing them with systems built on control.

Welfare For the Well-To-Do

by

On Boxing Day of 2023, I noted an article in The Wall Street Journal concerning investors souring on electric vehicle charging companies. In plug in electric vehicles are the wave of the future, why would investors not be moving into, rather than out of, such companies? Note that the original article was from December of …

Clausewitz, Jomini, and DIME-FIL: Why a 200-Year-Old War Theory Still Explains the Iran War

by

Start with Clausewitz. His most famous line remains the most brutally accurate description of war ever written: war is the continuation of politics by other means. In other words, wars are not random explosions of violence. Nations fight because they want political outcomes—territory, influence, regime survival, deterrence, or control of strategic regions.

Blood, Guts, and Winning Wars: Why Patton Still Makes Modern Leaders Uncomfortable

by

Patton’s most famous line, delivered to the Third Army in 1944, captured his philosophy better than any manual ever written: “No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.” That was not just colorful language. It was a direct rejection of the romantic nonsense that had gotten an entire generation slaughtered in World War I. Patton had seen that war. He had been wounded in it. He understood that modern industrial warfare was not a stage for heroic poetry. It was a contest of logistics, speed, firepower, and will. His job was not to produce martyrs. His job was to produce victory.

What We’re Seeing Today Didn’t Start Yesterday — It Started the Night Obama Won

by

The first big shift was philosophical. After the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Obama administration openly argued that America needed to move away from large, unilateral military commitments. The 2010 National Security Strategy said U.S. leadership could not be defined by war alone and emphasized partnerships, international institutions, and diplomacy over long-term occupation. That sounds reasonable on paper, and after two exhausting wars, a lot of Americans agreed. But it also marked a clear departure from the post-Cold War mindset where the United States acted as the unquestioned global enforcer. Instead of “we lead, others follow,” the tone became “we lead, but only if everyone signs off first.”

It Is About Time Iran Was Punished At The Nation State Level: If You Don’t Know Why, Shut Up, Sit Up, Listen Up And Learn

A yellow and blue book cover

The bottom Line Up Front is that Iran effed around for nearly 45 years before the US finally had enough of their worldwide terrorism sponsorship, saber rattling, murder of Americans and meddling in the gulf, and it is about time that they got punched in the mouth-hard-and repeatedly-which began in earnest with last year’s strikes on their nuclear missile development activities.

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.

World War III Started With a Virus — Now It’s a Multi-Regional Fight and the U.S. Is Running All Four DIME Tools at Once

by

The modern battlefield isn’t just military anymore. It’s what the national security crowd calls DIME — Diplomacy, Intelligence, Military, and Economy — and right now the United States is fighting on all four fronts at the same time, in multiple regions, with fewer resources than it had even ten years ago. That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s just what happens when a superpower tries to hold together a global order that is starting to come apart.

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

by

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.

The Destruction of the Military Pension: When ‘Obama Reform’ Meant Saving Money, Not Soldiers

by

Somewhere between speeches about “supporting the troops” and glossy recruiting commercials, the United States quietly decided that a guaranteed military pension was a little too generous. Not immoral. Not unfair. Just… expensive. And so, without much noise or public debate, the traditional 50% military retirement pension was downgraded, rebranded, and sold as “modernization.” Enter the …

The Control Grid Is Green: How 15-Minute Cities and Programmable Money Reshape Freedom

by

George Orwell didn’t imagine tyranny arriving with solar panels and fiber optic cable. He imagined telescreens and ration cards. But swap telescreens for smart meters and ration cards for CBDCs, and suddenly 1984 doesn’t look retro — it looks beta-tested.

The Squirrel Circus Is Back In Town: Losing Focus On The Mid-Terms Amidst The Mayhem? Part 2

by

Drug trafficking, Distribution of child pornography, burglary, fraud, DUI, embezzlement, solicitation of a minor, human smuggling are all categorized as “non violent crimes.” Like we said, ~70% of those illegal aliens arrested under @POTUS Trump and @Sec_Noem have pending criminal charges or prior convictions.

“The 51st Star We Never Voted On: How Israel Became America’s Problem Child”

by

Let’s dispense with the polite fiction. The United States has 50 states on paper and one premium subscription state overseas that gets all the benefits with none of the awkward obligations like paying federal taxes or pretending to listen to Washington. Welcome to Israel, America’s unofficial 51st state — the only one close enough to lecture Congress but far enough away that we pretend it’s “just an ally.”

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 Squirrel Circus Is Back In Town And Trump’s Inner Circle Needs To Focus Business Like A Laser On The Top Ten or-Hell-Pick 20. Losing Focus On The Mid-Terms Amongst The Bruhahas And Hub Bub And Mayhem???

by

The government led propaganda campaign that was supported and undertaken by the entirety of the LSMBTGA is well described in these articles that cover Joe Rogan’s interviews of Mike Benz and Mark Andreesen. The chilling truth of this matter is these actions were taken by our elected officials and inflicted on us-we the people-in order to undermine the will of the people in supposed free and fair elections.
