Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Steve, George & Diane discuss how the violence in the streets has been created by a spiritual void. Christians have been silent in face of the evil which is consuming America. In comparing Christians in 1963 to Christians now Diane was referring to the TV western, “The Dakotas.”
A house divided cannot stand. Right now, the National Rifle Association is living that proverb in real time, and it’s painful to watch—because for generations the NRA wasn’t just an organization. It was the standard-bearer. The steward. The institution that most Americans, whether they owned a firearm or not, understood as the big dog in the fight over the Second Amendment.
But charm alone goes only so far. In his negotiations, President Trump always carries a big stick. Sometimes the stick is a squad of B-2s loaded with bunker busters. Other times, it is 150 aircraft and special forces carrying a discombobulator that will send your troops home in oversized shoe boxes.
Dedicated to Americans who understand that real leadership doesn’t panic in a storm, doesn’t outsource conviction, doesn’t flinch when the numbers are ugly, and never forgets that families, not frameworks, are the foundation of everything worth protecting.
There are rock stars… and then there are Michigan rock stars—the kind forged in cold air, hard miles, deer sign, and a stubborn refusal to apologize for loving the outdoors. Ted Nugent is that kind of animal.
Elected sheriffs are more independent and more effectively represent the people in their counties than sheriffs appointed by WA’s governor. Dems HATE independent public officials! THAT is why Dems in the state have been scheming to reduce the authority of our 39 sheriffs for YEARS and to defund them.
While most people think leadership means podiums, applause lines, and professionally distressed jeans, the real work happens quietly—between meetings, between tee boxes, and sometimes between flights where the Wi-Fi barely works but decisions still do.
Reagan, Obama and Trump all faced crisis. Leadership is the difference.
Before the World Was Soft Civilization did not create the warrior brain. Civilization survived because of it. Long before laws, courts, or polite abstractions about peace, human beings existed in a world where violence was not exceptional—it was routine. Hunger, predators, rival tribes, and scarcity were constant pressures. The human nervous system evolved not to be calm, but to be ready.
I was a general’s aide-de-camp, which meant my actual job was not assisting, but intercepting stupidity before it reached flag rank. My boss lived in a world where things simply worked. Vehicles appeared complete. Schedules ran. Equipment existed. That didn’t happen by magic — it happened because several people quietly absorbed chaos so he never had to.
This column is dedicated to Americans who understand that real leadership doesn’t punch a clock, borders aren’t suggestions, families aren’t optional, and strength isn’t negotiable—even when the calendar flips to a new year and half the country is still recovering from New Year’s resolutions they broke before the ball hit the ground.
Chuck Cordak “Life’s too short for weak pours, weak swings, or leaders who confuse comfort with competence.” (Add weak coffee to that list—and FAFO to the list of things you don’t test.)
The Washington State Supreme Court found a commissioner guilty of violating the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) but, oops, she didn’t know she was breaking it. Based upon their ruling, from now on, all elected officials and bureaucrats are above the law.
Hunters were promised respect. We were promised constitutional protection. Instead, we got a regulatory maze where normal behavior is criminalized, enforcement is arbitrary, and tradition is treated as a threat. The same system that sells hunting licenses now treats hunters like suspects. The same agency that depends on hunter dollars increasingly acts as if it knows better than the people who live on and manage the land year-round.
This column is dedicated to Americans who believe peace is preserved by strength, borders matter, and leadership doesn’t take holidays — even when the calendar says it should.
President Trump admired Generals MacArthur, Patton, and others because of their strong leadership, nationalism, strategic thinking, get-things-done attitude, outspoken nature, and unpredictability. At this time in our history, we need nothing less.
If leadership were a golf swing, this weekend proved President Trump doesn’t slice under pressure — he stripes it straight, even when the wind is howling out of Syria, the media gallery is chirping from the rough, and half the country is still arguing about who stole whose head cover.
Never play life safe. Play it like a tight dogleg on a windy day — with conviction, courage, and a grin big enough to scare your caddie.
Until institutions decide to reward courage instead of punishing imperfection, we’ll keep getting leaders who need 27 meetings to schedule a meeting.
The tweet screen captured to the right is just one of hundreds, if not more than hundreds, aimed by the pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas sympathizers and bots trying to pull on our heartstrings, at the plight of the poor, poor Palestinians, and the children! to generate relief aid and, of course, hatred of the Jooooos. I have …
