Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
We “Get Real” pundits discuss how Democrats are hoping to trigger a second civil war as a means of regaining the Deep State power they once had. Currently, Senators Kelly & Slotkin are leading the way. America is entering Step #7 of The Left’s nine-step model toward civil war.
On 18 November 2025, six Democratic Party members of the Congress, some of whom have military backgrounds, released a video specifically directed to active duty military personnel, encouraging them to resist unlawful orders.
Five former-military and one former-CIA-analyst Democrat Members of Congress just engaged in a seditious conspiracy against the United States, the duly elected President, and all active-duty members of our armed forces.
What kinds of illegal orders are the Democrats accusing this administration of issuing, orders so illegal that soldiers would be morally right to refuse them? They don’t say.
Yesterday, six Democrats^ in the US Senate and US House released an ad urging military members to defy Commander in Chief Trump’s orders, that is, to mutiny. Democrats are trying to create a trigger (Step No. 8) which will cause civil war.
Listen up, cadets — your dusty old institution is under siege… from me, the world’s most offended armchair critic. As someone who’s never fired a rifle, never been marched at 5 a.m., and whose greatest battle was choosing between oat milk or almond at Starbucks, I hereby launch my campaign to transform West Point into Soy Boy University — the safe space you never knew you wanted.
In 1787, our founders wrote something radical into the Constitution: every official—civilian, military, executive, judicial—would swear allegiance not to a man, but to an idea. Article VI makes it clear: the oath is to the Constitution. Period.
If we’re going to call the AR the “Modern Sporting Rifle,” let’s stop pretending it should be chambered in something that looks like it came out of a Pez dispenser.
Here’s a fun riddle: what do you call a man who works for the President of the United States and thirty-one other heads of state — all at once — and can’t tick off any of them? Answer: The SACEUR.
Today is Veterans Day. Given that only 6 percent of the people of this nation have ever put on a uniform–including those currently serving–I am not sure many Americans have any idea why Veterans Day is a holiday.
The old lie will always sound poetic. It always has. But maybe, this Veterans Day, we can start telling a new truth: The most noble act of service isn’t dying for empire — it’s living for liberty, for truth, and for the people God entrusted us to protect.
When dealing with an all-volunteer force, retention will always be an issue especially when civilian society is competing for the same talent.
Each Veterans Day weekend, a gathering of Army friends–bound by service, stories, laughter, and tradition–reminds us that shared rituals and gratitude knit together the history and heart of every community.
Picture this: a Pentagon conference room full of brass so weighed down with medals they can barely sit upright. A stack of PowerPoints taller than the Washington Monument. Coffee so bad it makes MRE sludge taste gourmet. The mission? Pick America’s next service pistol. The result? They chose a pistol that might decide to shoot you before you even draw it.
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.
Use of force without direct Congressional authorization is often problematic. But that doesn’t make it illegal or unconstitutional.
Once upon a time, every Army post had a Rod & Gun Club. Soldiers swapped stories over clays and venison stew, learned real firearm safety, and taught their kids what stewardship and discipline looked like. The firing line wasn’t political; it was practical. It built better Soldiers, shooters, better conservationists, and frankly, better Americans.
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.
I believe we are in some uncharted waters as far as our government’s use of force is concerned. The President’s use of military force against alleged drug trafficking boats is going to break new ground and test the Constitution and international law.
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.
