Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Bend a piece of metal; no matter how strong it is, keep bending it, and it will break. That is our current political system. And it is worldwide.
Europe is on some kind of autopilot. The people have literally no input into where they are going; it has become a very weird place. Victims of crime are being arrested while the perps are being let go. 90% of all new jobs are going to foreigners. Europe is getting closer every day to revolution.
America is about to turn 250 years old, yet many of us live with less gratitude than our great-grandparents who had far less. The average American enjoys comforts that kings, presidents, and industrial tycoons could only dream of—instant communication, modern medicine, air conditioning, safe food, and access to nearly all human knowledge from a device in their pocket. Yet we often act as though we are the most deprived generation in history. This article examines the extraordinary inheritance we’ve received from those who built America, the dangers of historical amnesia, and why our descendants may care less about our complaints than what we chose to build, preserve, and pass on. Before we criticize the nation our forefathers handed us, perhaps we should ask a more uncomfortable question: Are we proving worthy of the gift they left behind?
This lesson is not written to tell anyone how to vote.
It is written to remind Christians that our first loyalty is not to a political party, a social movement, a news network, a favorite politician, or a cultural tribe.
I’ve been to quite a few Donald Trump rallies as he’s campaigned for president. Every one was huge, with tens of thousands of people in attendance. In every case, there were lines of people so long, that the venues couldn’t hold all those that wanted to be there. The rallies were enormous because the majority of Americans are desperate for some good news, an optimistic message, a little hope for a return to the good, old fashioned American dream. And “Make America Great Again,” with an emphasis on rebuilding the foundations of our country’s glory days, resonated with so many.
My message today may not be a popular one, but it’s time to address the elephant in the room, and I’ll attempt to do it in a fair and balanced way. I want to talk about Donald Trump. I realize I’m walking on thin ice here, because he’s one of — if not the — most polarizing figures in all of American political history. Critics have an unreasonable and largely unsubstantiated hatred for Trump, which has come to be known as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” or “TDS.” Meanwhile, many of his supporters believe he can do no wrong, and are willing to overlook anything he does that they don’t agree with, because after all, he’s “saved us” from the Communist Left.
For the first time in decades, Washington should be safe and clean enough to visit—just in time for the 250th celebration of independence.
An organization can take pride when the race-baiting, hate-promoting, indicted Southern Poverty Law Center targets them: Whatever that organization is doing is benefiting Americans and protecting our freedoms, or else SPLC would not bother putting them on their hate list.
After his last bombing raid over Germany, my father-in-law wrote in his journal: “I can’t explain the way I feel – a tremendous relief; the knowledge that I will see my wife and family again is like having your life handed to you – like a reprieve from a death sentence.”
Memorial Day is being observed across the United States, including in Newport, Rhode Island, where thousands of fallen U.S. service members were honored.
The memorial features combat boots adorned with flags and placards, with each boot representing a service member killed in action since Sept. 11, 2001.
Memorial Day. The official start of summer here in these United States. Like retired Army Colonel Buck Surdu, I have mixed emotions on this what should be somber day. You can read his thoughts here: Thoughts on Memorial Day Like everyone else in these United States, I am very glad to see summer arrive. It …
Memorial Day reminds Christians to honor those who sacrificed for earthly freedom while also remembering the eternal freedom purchased through the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ.
What are the top 5 reasons the United States is the greatest nation ever conceived by mankind?
Ernie Vande Zande was more than a national champion and record-setter; he was the rare competitor who made everyone around him better. Known as “the Human Benchrest,” the Army major and Camp Perry champion combined world-class precision with a quiet willingness to help any shooter who genuinely wanted to improve. His classic article Sights, Wind and Mirage still teaches competitors how to read conditions decades after it was written. Smallbore lost more than a legend when Ernie passed in 2018—it lost a mentor, a gentleman, and one of the finest ambassadors the sport has ever known.
American Indians in their winter camp at Wounded Knee, were murdered on Dec. 29, 1891, by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms “for their own safety and protection.”
I have never believed the leftist maxim that insists diversity is “our strength.” Instead, I see it as divisive, with our nation being split into cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, and political tribes who are essentially at war with one another.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas delivered an insightful and important speech at the University of Texas recently that I wish every American could have heard.
I thought I had seen the last of traitorous Americans cursing our soldiers or calling for them to be killed when the last American combat troops were pulled out of Vietnam following the 1973 Paris Peace Treaty. After the disgusting display by anti-American, pro-Iran thugs in Philadelphia and the perfidious “No Kings” protestors last weekend, it appears I was wrong.
Büdingen, Germany, late ’90s. The barracks were “historic,” which was Army-speak for old, fragile, and nobody wants to pay to fix it. The plumbing was past its expiration date—backups, leaks, that constant low-grade stench that never quite left your clothes. And that’s where we put our enlisted soldiers. The pitch from leadership bordered on parody: “You’re living in a historic building—Adolf Hitler once gave a speech here. See the photo!” That didn’t land. Not even close.
