5th Generation War, Part 1: Don’t Capture the Capitol—Just Convince Half of the People it’s Corrupt and Illegitimate

by

You don’t have to invade a nation to defeat it. You may only have to convince its citizens that their elections are rigged, their courts are corrupt, their institutions are illegitimate, and their neighbors are the enemy. As early as 2012, the U.S. military was wrestling with the Human Dimension and emerging ideas about the Human Domain—the recognition that wars ultimately turn on human behavior and human will. Add smartphones, algorithms, information warfare, color-revolution dynamics, and fifth-generation warfare, and the battlefield starts looking considerably different. The Capitol can still be standing, the flag can still be flying, and elections can still happen right on schedule. But if nobody believes any of it anymore, an enemy may never have to conquer us. We may eventually do the job ourselves.

Fort Wilkins: Once again, US Army Sends a West Pointer to the End of the Earth

by

In 1844, the U.S. Army sent a West Point graduate and a couple companies of infantry to the very tip of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula to keep order during America’s first great copper rush. Captain Robert Emmet Clary and his soldiers arrived in the wilderness, built most of a fort in five months, and then watched history move somewhere else when war with Mexico began. But Clary’s story gets even better: his West Point classmate—and reportedly his wedding best man—was Jefferson Davis. Three decades later, Davis headed the Confederacy while Clary remained loyal to the Union and earned brevet promotion to brigadier general for his Civil War service. Fort Wilkins is a wonderfully obscure reminder that long before Gettysburg, some remarkably tough Americans were already busy building this amazing country.

AR Tactical: Can Your Rifle Even Reach 600 Yards?

by

Think you’re a rifleman? There’s only one way to find out. AR Tactical is one of the fastest-growing rifle sports in America, challenging everyday shooters to stretch their skills to 600 yards with practical rifles and real-world marksmanship. Along the way, even experienced competitors discover that old habits don’t always translate—and that’s part of the fun. The question is simple: Will your rifle even reach 600 yards?

Before You Mock the 6.5 Creedmoor, Learn What “Creedmoor” Means

by

The 6.5 Creedmoor has been around for 19 years, and apparently that still hasn’t been enough time for some gun enthusiasts to learn what the word Creedmoor actually means.

Before you utter “6.5 Man Bun” again, try Google.

America’s Rifle: The 26 Million People You Didn’t See on the Evening News

by

The evening news shows you the criminal with an AR-15. It rarely shows you the millions of Americans who own one, go to work, raise families, shoot matches, hunt, protect their homes—and never hurt anybody. The 2026 National Firearms Survey estimates 26.4 million Americans own an AR-15 or similar semiautomatic rifle. At that point, perhaps we should stop pretending it’s some exotic fringe firearm and call it what it has become: America’s Rifle. Behind every blade of grass? Maybe not—but we’re certainly working on it. God bless America. Shall not be infringed.

The Day Evil Came To America—And The Courage That Answered It

by

Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, America faces a dangerous temptation: forgetting (NYC Mayor, anybody?). Time softens memories, new generations inherit stories instead of scars, and political divisions crowd out shared history. Yet the lessons of 9/11 remain essential because they remind us that freedom carries costs, courage deserves honor, and national unity is possible even during unimaginable tragedy.

The FOBbit: How the Army Turns Warriors Into PowerPoint-Slinging Indoor Cats

by

The Army has a remarkable ability to take a perfectly functional warrior, promote him a few times, hand him three computer monitors, and turn him into a PowerPoint-slinging indoor cat. Thus begins the evolution of the FOBbit: that mysterious creature who once went outside the wire but now survives on RFIs, synchronization meetings, Green Beans coffee, and Baskin-Robbins. The real horror comes when you finally look down at your ice cream, look at your clean uniform, hit “Send” on another 1600 suspense, and realize the terrible truth: Oh, $h!tt! I’m the FOBbit.

The Carry a Sword Movement: Bring Back the Original Open Carry

by

America once produced men who wouldn’t leave the house without a sword hanging from their belt. Washington carried one. Patton designed one. West Point cadets still have them. Yet today, strap on a saber for a trip to Home Depot and suddenly you’re the weird guy. Maybe it’s time to bring back the original open carry. Swords are arms. Shall not be infringed. Support the right. Respect the right. Carry a sword.

Tell Me What’s Wrong With Christian Nationalism

by
Flags-U.S. & Christian

We have millions of people living in the United States today who are not American citizens. They come from countless other nations, most of which do not share our morals or values. Many worship false — and violent — gods. Many follow false religions, and cults with radical ideologies. What’s even worse is that today, we have many government officials, leaders, and people in powerful positions of control that have no business being there, because they’ve never met the requirements for US Citizenship, they have contempt for our US Constitution and have no intention of ever assimilating to our culture.

Trump To Stop Smithsonian’s War On American History

Trump To Stop Smithsonian's War On American History

Smithsonian is obviously working to undermine US history & indoctrinate generations of young Americans with Marxist ideas at taxpayer expense. Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars are being weaponized to wage all-out war on American history, values, heritage, and greatness. WH is punching back.

The Thin Veneer

by

We like to believe America is immune—that we’re somehow different from every civilization that came before us. History laughs at that kind of arrogance.

Yugoslavia wasn’t supposed to collapse. Rwanda wasn’t supposed to collapse. Their citizens woke up one morning convinced civilization was permanent, until they discovered it wasn’t. The most dangerous moment for any nation isn’t when people disagree. It’s when they stop believing the rules matter and begin believing only their side is legitimate.

The Constitution isn’t self-executing. Freedom isn’t self-sustaining. Civilization isn’t guaranteed.

It’s a veneer—thinner than most of us would ever dare admit.

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.

Good, Meet Evil

by

The culmination of the Left’s gender bending, death cult brainwashing was evident in last week’s assassination of Charlie  Kirk, whose only “crime” was speaking freely about his Faith, Family and Country, and his only weapon, a microphone. 

Why do I pay $6.99 a week for a newspaper that hates our country?

by

My digital subscription to The Philadelphia Inquirer hits my bank account for $27.96 every four weeks, or $363.48 every year. The City of Brotherly Love is where the members of the Continental Congress met and finally declared our independence from King George and Great Britain 250 years and one day ago. Yet our nation’s third …
