Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
I love the Fourth of July, but this will be the first Independence Day in my life that will leave me disheartened and sad. In the past, this was a day to celebrate. After all, it was the day this country declared its liberation from the British Empire and embarked on a long and bloody …
The second Continental Congress adopted a Declaration of Independence of July 4th, 1776, a summary of the political thought that had evolved over the centuries regarding the freedoms of man. Thomas Jefferson in his genius added teeth to the Declaration so that the document should stand the test of time. Perhaps this 4th of July, the citizens of …
The British treatment of the colonies over the first few months of the American Revolutionary War, which had treated them as manifestly rebellious and enemies, gave force to arguments for independence.
What’s unsaid by the proponents of murdering babies in the womb, is that stare decisis is itself a deception. In fact, our Founders would be aghast at the standard.
Between killing babies in the womb, keeping guns away from blacks and encouraging children to take hormone blockers, I am just astonished a civil war didn’t beat the Supreme Court to the job.
Nikita Khrushchev is usually remembered as the combative premier of the Soviet Union during the days of Sputnik and the Cold War. He’s also the Soviet leader who went toe to toe with John F. Kennedy during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. But Khrushchev is also remembered for four words he spoke during a diplomatic …
Socialism emerged in response to the extreme economic and social changes caused by the Industrial Revolution, and particularly the struggles of workers. Many workers grew increasingly poor even as factory owners and other industrialists accrued massive wealth. In the first half of the 19th century, early socialist thinkers like Henri de Saint-Simon, Robert Owen and …
Xi Jinping’s “historic resolution” bodes ill for Chinese citizens and the World
My personal perspective on West Point, obviously, is mine alone. It’s aged over 50 years since graduation and informed by 65 years of reading history as well as over 2 decades working as an Army “Futurist.” I believe West Point should focus on creating the cadre of the “military priesthood” of the U.S. Army. I know such a shift would get mixed results, but 50 years from now Americans would know the Long Gray Line is about winning America’s wars above all else.
Two great rulings put restraint on one state’s abuse of power, and ended a judicial overreach. Hopefully this is just the start.
A a person who torments you out of greed will be satisfied when he takes what is yours. A person who torments you for your own good will never be satisfied.
What some people refer to as “settled law” isn’t – it’s not “settled,” nor is it “law.”
Around 2028, when things are beginning to return to pre-COVID levels of prosperity, and some fool at the NIH wants to shut the economy down to “flatten the curve,” remember the true cost of the last shut down.
How my West Point Class of 1972 mattered to the Army is why I care about West Point today. That begs the question, “Why does West Point matter?” What matters today – for the Class of 2022?
A urban fable that’s come up recently, is that being a law enforcement officer (LEO) requires less training than a beautician (although inaccurate, I must agree some states put ridiculous requirements on licensing to cut hair). The implication is that police are undertrained, or worse, untrained. To put it mildly, that is inaccurate. Liberals in …
America today seems more like a hostile, chaotic, and untamed third-world backwoods than a sophisticated cutting-edge republic
Racism is insidious. One cannot do anything about the color of their skin. We can dye our hair, if we have any. We can change the color of our eyes with contacts. But we cannot change our skin color.
America’s China policy objectives have been flawed for decades, resulting in the ascendancy of a hyper-aggressive People’s Republic of China
World history is marred with slavery. The Egyptians and Babylonians enslaved the Jews. The Greeks and Romans had slaves captured in battle. Nomad cultures in the Middle East, Africa and America resulted in the enslavement of captured tribes. There is an old adage, to the victors go the spoils. The spoils were put to death …
