Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
During World War II, America quietly became a warden to over 425,000 prisoners of war—mostly Germans, Italians, and a few thousand Japanese. They arrived in Liberty ships and railcars, scattered to more than 700 camps across 46 states.
In 1830, Joseph Smith founded what would become The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, introducing a unique set of scriptures and doctrines that diverge from historic Christianity. While Mormons and Christians share many moral values—family, honesty, service—their theology differs sharply at several key points.
The news media have lost credibility at an alarming rate, and confidence that the news is being impartially reported has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history.
They called Afghanistan “The Graveyard of Empires,” and by the time the Soviets showed up, it already had a headstone collection. The Persians, the Greeks, the Mongols, and the British were all buried there in one form or another. Still, the Soviets thought they could be different. They always do.
Fast-forward another century, and the players have changed — but the mountains haven’t. After 9/11, the United States and its NATO allies, including Britain, marched into Afghanistan to root out the Taliban and rebuild the nation.
After World War I, the victorious allies, with the blessings of the newly formed United Nations, carved up the Ottoman Empire creating the independent nations of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Israel.
Part II — The Empire That Wouldn’t Quit (1878–1880, 1919) Most nations learn from pain. Empires just reload. Four decades later, London decided another Afghan “adjustment” was needed. The Russians were sniffing around again, and Britain wanted control of Kabul’s foreign policy. Cue Round Two, where British troops marched back into Afghanistan and once again …
The Left pretends following Christ as a Christian and serving America as a citizen is in conflict when it serves their purposes. They can’t comprehend opposing Islam and caring about individual Muslims at the same time.
They called it the Great Game — the 19th-century chess match between Britain and Russia for control of Central Asia. Somewhere between tea time and arrogance, the British decided Afghanistan would make a lovely buffer zone between their Indian colony and the advancing Russians.
They say history repeats itself, but that’s lazy thinking. History doesn’t repeat — it stumbles out of the bar at 2 a.m., grabs the wrong Uber, and wakes up wearing someone else’s crown, wondering why the peasants are revolting again. What really happens is that patterns emerge — and if you’re lucky (or paying attention), they’re the good kind.
Two hundred years ago, a gloomy English preacher named Thomas Malthus did some math and decided the human race was doomed. People, he warned, breed like rabbits while food grows like turnips.
“No Kings” protesters were screaming for assassinations of Trump, Miller, Homan, etc. I wonder if the FBI or Secret Service will be contacting these haters who do not believe that Americans are allowed to vote for Trump.
The Islamic State didn’t cruise into Mosul in Teslas. They rolled in behind a Toyota Hilux convoy that looked like a Jiffy Lube parade gone wrong — turbo-diesel workhorses loaded with heavy machine guns and rocket pods.
The year is 1941. The place is Auschwitz. His official name is Prisoner Number 16670. But his real name is Max. Max isn’t old, but he looks ancient. Prison camp will do that to a man. He is here because he was caught sheltering 3,000 Polish refugees—half of whom were Jews.
When Beliefs And Opinions Get Confused With Convictions, Dialogue and Compromise Become Impossible
Today, when German shooters don their old green sport jackets, they’re not just competitors. They’re descendants of the city guard. And when the Schützenkönig or Ritter (Knight) is crowned at the festival, it’s not merely a marksmanship title—it’s a symbolic knighting. It says, you have upheld the standard, you belong…
We, The People, must recruit politicians to not be politicians for a “revolutionary season” to save America. Since politics is a business, it means getting patriots in office who won’t be “business as usual” Establishment tools.
Every time I start my 9-month apologetics course, I begin by answering the question, “What is apologetics?” The reason I do this is that the word ‘apologetics’ can imply to some that we are apologizing for the truth, when we are not and never should.
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.
Why has modern America chosen to attack Columbus Day? Many schools no longer celebrate it; many states have dropped it in ignominy… or worse, they use it as a negative teaching opportunity: to trash the explorers who brought European civilization to these shores. Of course, it’s still celebrated as …
