Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #100: Diane Needs Your Tales Of Surviving On Blue Turf

Subscribers love my “Living Behind Enemy Lines” articles. I need more! I won’t use your name. It can be a short story about one aspect of living on Blue turf, or a longer essay: A story about an abuse you have suffered because you are a Trumpster, or a light-hearted tale.

Bending America Until it Breaks

by

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.

Your Great-Grandfather Would Think You’re Rich

by

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?

Bible First: Testing the Conservative Right by Scripture

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.

So, You Want to Make America Great Again?

by

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.

So, You Want to Know My Thoughts On Trump…

by

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.

SPLC Hates Constitutional Sheriffs

SPLC Hates Constitutional Sheriffs

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.

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 Human Benchrest: The Enduring Legacy of MAJ Ernie Vande Zande

by

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.
