North Korea Discovers Internet Porn

by

Imagine spending your entire life being told your country is the greatest civilization on Earth… then someone hands you a Wi-Fi password. According to a widely circulated—but unverified—report, North Korean troops may have discovered unrestricted internet access and promptly demonstrated why every dictatorship fears broadband more than bombs. Tanks can level buildings. The internet levels narratives. Somewhere, a political commissar is still trying to explain why the greatest threat to operational readiness wasn’t enemy artillery—it was the guest Wi-Fi passsord to PornHub.

Highlights of the Week with Don Surber

by

Don Surber escorts us through another week of the media’s treatment what it considers news. We need this reporting on the media or we’d never know what was actually going on. 

ITEM 1: The New York Times reported, “Harry and Meghan Will Move Back to Britain After 6 Years in U.S.”

Two more self-deportations for Trump (4 counting the kids).

A Few Honest Thoughts About President Trump

by

I want to make something clear about my support for President Donald Trump. Supporting many of his policies does not mean I approve of his personality, every word that comes out of his mouth, or every person he chooses to place around him. I do not believe Christians are called to surrender their judgment to a political party, and I certainly do not believe we are supposed to turn any president into an object of devotion.

Department of War: The Day the Batteries Died

by

Technology has made us faster, smarter, and more capable than any generation that came before us. But somewhere along the way, we forgot an uncomfortable truth: every technological advantage eventually becomes a dependency. The Romans understood it. Napoleon understood it. The Army wrote it down more than a century ago. Use the calculator. Use the GPS. Use the ballistic computer. But never forget the skills that allow you to function when the batteries die. A truly advanced military isn’t the one that fights brilliantly when everything works. It’s the one that can still fight when nothing does.

Chaos at the Gates August 21, 2026: Five Years After The Collapse Of Afghanistan

by

Five years ago, the world watched one of the most devastating foreign policy failures in modern American history unfold in real time. The fall of Kabul in August 2021 was not merely the end of America’s longest war. It was a collapse of credibility, an abandonment of allies, and the start of a dangerous new era in global geopolitics.

Teddy Roosevelt Built a Nation of Riflemen. Then Democrats Tried to Kill It.

by

Theodore Roosevelt believed America was stronger when ordinary citizens knew how to shoot. For nearly a century, the federal government agreed—supporting the DCM, the National Matches, and even helping selected junior riflemen travel to Camp Perry to represent their states. Then came the 1990s, when Washington decided a program designed to create disciplined American marksmen was something that needed to be “terminated.” They killed the old DCM, but they failed to kill American marksmanship. The CMP survived—and the riflemen kept shooting.

Trump Shouldn’t Rush Iran Strategy: Rep. Issa

by

Republican Congressman Darrell Issa of California reacts to President Trump’s threats against Oman, saying the President’s comments should be taken “in context.” Issa describes the confrontation with Iran as a 47-year problem and says Trump shouldn’t feel pressured to resolve it on a political timeline, arguing that appearing to be in a hurry would play into Iran’s hands. He also discusses conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln as the USS George Washington makes its way to the region to relieve the carrier. He speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.”

Shockingly Underreported News and Commentary for the Week of 9 August

This is the third post of a weekly feature that highlights news and commentary on important geopolitical, cultural, and economic issues that the Democrat-media complex buries because they expose the hypocrisies associated with the continuing Marxist-Democrat narrative. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.

I’m sorry Honey, this M14 followed me home! Can I keep it?

by

Nearly 750,000 U.S. M14 rifles were destroyed after the Cold War, many meeting their end at Anniston Army Depot in the jaws of a hydraulic shear known as “Captain Crunch.” Now, history is taking a different path. Beginning in January 2027, the CMP expects to offer permanently converted semi-automatic M14s to qualified Americans for under $2,000. Every rifle sold preserves a piece of American military history while helping fund junior shooting programs, Camp Perry, scholarships, and the future of competitive marksmanship. Sometimes, the best way to honor history isn’t to put it in a museum—it’s to put it back on the firing line.

The Evergreen Tree: When a Pine Became a Warning Label for Tyrants

by

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.”

Before GPS, CAD, and LiDAR: The Guys With Chains Who Built Geometry Into the Earth

by

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.

The 6mm Creedmoor: Everything the 6.5 Manbun Wishes It Was.

by

**Excerpt**

What started as a clever wildcat experiment has become one of the hottest cartridges in precision shooting. The 6mm Creedmoor delivers blistering speed, flat trajectories, and remarkably light recoil—all while launching sleek, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets that shrug off the wind. From PRS to the growing world of CMP AR Tactical, competitors are discovering that the 6mm Creedmoor isn’t just another Creedmoor—it’s a cartridge built to stay on target, spot its own impacts, and stack X-rings. For many shooters, it’s turning the AR-10 into a laser beam where others are still shooting slingshots.

George Patton’s Secret Weapon Wasn’t a Tank—It Was Faith

by

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.

This We’ll Defend: Why the Border Belongs to the U.S. Army

by

The U.S. Army was created to defend the United States. Yet today, it protects borders and allies around the world while America’s own southern border is managed through a separate bureaucracy built only two decades ago. Retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor has proposed a simple but disruptive question: What if Border Patrol became part of the Army? The idea isn’t about turning soldiers into immigration agents—it’s about unifying homeland defense, eliminating redundant bureaucracy, saving taxpayer dollars, and putting America’s oldest military institution back in charge of the mission written into its very motto: “This We’ll Defend.”
