Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
They say nobody’s perfect, but I disagree. I just pitched the perfect political candidate to the DNC, which desperately wants to avoid the disaster in Michigan’s senatorial race known as Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, the doctor who has never seen a patient.
The collapse of a republic rarely begins with tanks in the streets or dramatic constitutional crises. More often, it begins with a far quieter question: Can we trust our elections? Once citizens lose confidence in the process that grants political authority, every institution built upon that authority begins to crack. Courts become suspect, laws become negotiable, and political opponents become enemies. A nation can survive bitter policy disagreements. It cannot survive indefinitely if its citizens no longer believe their government derives its authority from legitimate elections.
The horse didn’t disappear when the automobile arrived. It simply stopped being essential. Artificial intelligence may be forcing the legal profession into a similar reckoning. When a $20 monthly subscription can research case law, organize evidence, draft motions, and explain legal procedure, the age of the billable hour may finally be facing its greatest challenge. Somewhere, an attorney is still billing in six-minute increments while AI has already finished the paperwork.
A Democrat candidate for governor of Wisconsin wants to cancel Thanksgiving over colonialism—aka civilizing a savage continent. The anti-white fervor on college campuses has spread to throughout the Democrat Party and the halls of government.
She wants to replace it with a 6-course celebration on menstruation.
In 1966, the year I returned from almost 4 years of active service with the U.S. Army Security Agency in West Germany, a new movie was released called “The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming.” Directed by Norman Jewison, the film centers on a Soviet submarine, the “Sprut,” that accidentally runs aground on a …
Long before Americans argued about flags on social media, our ancestors managed to make a tree politically dangerous. Britain reserved many of New England’s great white pines for the Royal Navy—even trees growing on colonial lands—marking them with the King’s Broad Arrow. The pine became a symbol of something much bigger: ownership, natural rights, independence, and the stubborn belief that free citizens had both the right and responsibility to defend their country. That’s why an evergreen ended up beneath the words “AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN.”
For those paying attention at home this may come as a total surprise–a shock to the system—that Syria has nuclear material in the form of yellow cake somewhat laying around like so much garage storage that must be dispositioned to safeguard the remains of their-ahem-Barney Rubbled peaceful nuclear reactor site.
Before GPS, CAD, drones, and LiDAR, American military engineers were laying out massive forts with astonishing geometric precision using little more than chains, optical instruments, pencils, and a serious command of mathematics. Fort Wayne’s remarkable symmetry raises an irresistible question: brilliant engineering—or something more mysterious? From star-fort battlefield geometry to Freemasonry’s famous obsession with the square and compass, we separate the fascinating history from the conspiracy theories. The conclusion may be even more humbling: the old guys were really freaking good at math.
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 goal of socialism is communism” Vladimir Lenin
It has been said that communism will always attempt to come in through the front door. If locked, it will try the back door, if that fails, it will crawl in through a window.
As astonishing as it may seem, the United States is currently witnessing a resurgence of the Bolshevik Revolution, but this time it is occurring within our country. The Bolsheviks transformed Russia and much of the world, turning it upside down. They had few allies and faced numerous adversaries across every continent.
The Great Pentagon Camouflage War may go down as one of the finest examples of what happens when bureaucracy collides head-on with the laws of physics. For thousands of years, armies understood a simple concept: if you’re fighting in the desert, wear desert colors. If you’re fighting in the woods, wear woodland colors. Then someone decided we could outsmart Mother Nature with a “Universal Camouflage Pattern” that would supposedly work everywhere. It turned out to work spectacularly well… provided the enemy attacked in a gravel pit. Afghanistan quickly exposed the fantasy, and after years of testing, billions in replacement equipment, and enough PowerPoint slides to camouflage the Pentagon itself, the Army arrived at the shocking scientific discovery that brown and green actually blend into brown and green. Sometimes the most expensive lesson in military history is learning that physics doesn’t salute generals.

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.
On April 17th 1895, the Qing dynasty of China signed the treaty of Shimonoseki with the Empire of Japan. In doing so the Qing dynasty was forced to recognize the independence of Korea. They also gave control of Taiwan, the Pescadores islands, and the Liaodong peninsula to Japan. Following this, the Qing dynasty fell into …
In the 1920s, Margaret Sanger, a birth control and eugenics activist and founder of Planned Parenthood, had various quotes on population control.
The 1950’s definitely had its challenges, but I’ll take the mood and attitudes of the people back then over what is prevalent today and shaping the culture.
Before the skies cleared over the Battle of the Bulge, General George S. Patton didn’t call for another committee meeting—he called for a chaplain. While modern America places its faith in technology, data, and bureaucracy, Patton believed victory required something more. He prepared relentlessly, commanded fearlessly, and then bowed his head in prayer. Days later, the weather broke, Allied aircraft filled the skies, and Patton pinned a Bronze Star on the chaplain who had written the famous weather prayer. Whether you call it coincidence or providence, one of America’s greatest generals never apologized for believing that faith belonged on the battlefield alongside tanks, artillery, and courage.
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.
It’s not easy watching the country I grew up in and served as a Soldier doing its level best to self-destruct.
For too long, we’ve argued over the wrong question. The Second Amendment was never just about a rifle—it was about preserving the balance of power between a free people and their government. As technology reshapes our world, the real debate isn’t simply who owns firearms, but whether citizens will retain meaningful access to the technologies that define power in the 21st century. Rights written on paper are only as strong as a free people’s ability to exercise and defend them. When the government alone possesses tomorrow’s technology, liberty risks becoming a privilege instead of a birthright.
