Smedley Butler Was Early. Eisenhower Confirmed It. Ukraine and Iran Are Proving It.

by

In 1935, Smedley Butler warned that “War is a racket.” Twenty-six years later, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned Americans about the growing power of the military-industrial complex. Nearly a century later, their warnings deserve another look. As America replenishes stockpiles from Ukraine and Iran while asking Ford and other manufacturers to help produce more weapons, one uncomfortable question remains: when every missile launched becomes another billion-dollar contract, who is really winning? Soldiers still pay in blood. Taxpayers still pay the bill. But someone always profits.

What a trillion dollars buys: The absolute worst foreign policy was opening trade to Red China

by

I may be the only person left in the world to call the land Red China, but that does not make me wrong. Chairman Xi runs the joint and he is the president of the Chinese Communist Party—the largest political party in the world.

America’s Forgotten Copper Reserve: The Upper Peninsula’s Ancient Treasure

by

For more than 6,000 years, the shores of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula have produced one of civilization’s most valuable resources. Long before Rome, before the Bronze Age reached its peak, and long before Europeans set foot in North America, Indigenous miners were extracting native copper from the Keweenaw Peninsula and Isle Royale. That same metal helped electrify America during the Industrial Revolution and today powers everything from smartphones and AI data centers to electric vehicles and military technology. The richest deposits may be gone, but the story isn’t over—Michigan’s remaining copper could prove to be one of America’s most important strategic resources for the next century.

The CMP: America’s Quiet National-Security Insurance Policy

by

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is more than a shooting organization. It is a self-funded national-security asset that preserves firearms safety, competitive marksmanship, and a reserve of civilian expertise. During the Iraq War, CMP volunteers even traveled to military installations such as Fort Campbell to help the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit train deploying soldiers as Squad Designated Marksmen. What looks like recreation on Saturday can become battlefield capability when the nation needs it.

The Older You Get, the Better You Might Shoot

by

Most sports belong to the young. Smallbore prone is different. At Camp Perry this July, competitors will fire 640 record shots over four grueling days, plus a practice day and a team championship, all while trying to keep every bullet in a tiny X-ring at 50 and 100 yards. The winner won’t necessarily be the strongest or the fastest—it will be the one who can stay mentally sharp after nearly a week of relentless precision. In one of America’s oldest sports, experience isn’t a handicap. It just might be the greatest competitive advantage of all.

From Camp Perry to National Readiness: Why Military Shooting Teams Matter

by

For more than 120 years, America’s military marksmanship teams have done far more than chase medals. Every summer at Camp Perry’s Small Arms Firing School, they pass generations of hard-earned knowledge to ordinary citizens—teaching safe firearms handling, precision marksmanship, and personal responsibility. It’s a quiet mission rooted in federal law since 1903, built on a simple idea: a nation is stronger when its citizens are capable, disciplined, and prepared. The trophies are impressive, but the real legacy is American readiness.

Everything Looks Like a Nail When You Own a Trillion-Dollar Hammer

by

Eisenhower didn’t warn America about a foreign army. He warned us about ourselves. A five-star general looked into the future and cautioned that a permanent military, a permanent defense industry, and a permanent government bureaucracy could become so intertwined that only an “alert and knowledgeable citizenry” could keep them in check. Sixty-five years later, we spend roughly a trillion dollars a year on national defense, the Pentagon still can’t earn a clean financial audit, and many Americans know more about celebrity gossip than federal spending. The question isn’t whether Eisenhower was right. The question is whether we’re still the alert and knowledgeable citizens he believed liberty required.

Exxon Lawyer Joins DOJ. The Green Panic Brigade Loses Its Mind.

by

America is about to need more electricity than at any time in generations. AI, reshored manufacturing, data centers, and national security don’t run on hashtags—they run on abundant, reliable energy. So when a veteran ExxonMobil attorney joins the Justice Department, the usual professional panic merchants act like civilization is ending. Maybe it’s not a conspiracy. Maybe it’s just common sense. If America wants to outbuild China instead of outsourcing its future, we’d better start hiring people who know how to keep the lights on.

The Monroe Doctrine 2.0: Europe, It’s Time to Grow Up

by

For 75 years, America has been Europe’s security blanket. Maybe it’s time to fold it up. The Monroe Doctrine wasn’t about policing the entire planet—it was about protecting our own hemisphere first. NATO still matters. Article 5 still matters. But Europe’s wealthy democracies aren’t helpless children anymore. Build your armies. Fund your defense. Guard your own neighborhood. Uncle Sam can still be the backstop—but it’s time to stop treating him like an unlimited credit card with a standing military attached.

Chinese Nuclear and Missile Proliferation Exposed: The official Chinese support for nuclear nonproliferation is bogus

by

The Congressional Research Service has tracked Chinese nuclear and missile proliferation concerns across multiple decades and report iterations. The six editions examined here span from May 2021 through May 2026. Taken together, they reveal a consistent underlying pattern — Chinese government-level transfers have largely ended, but a persistent, arguably worsening problem of Chinese entity-level proliferation continues unabated — while the diplomatic and rhetorical framing around that problem has shifted considerably over time.
