Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Who cares? Blood-thirsty savages need no motivation to wage their war against infidels.
Do people in Washington care more about not offending the people who brought us 9/11 than they do defending our dear country?
I spend a lot of time focusing upon the criminal, anti-freedom harmonic crony convergence between Big Government and Big Business. Because it is THE fundamental component of the United States’ $30.8 trillion economy.
Game theory is mankind’s invention of 3D chess—the realization that rational players can make moves that look completely irrational when you can’t see the whole board. But American geopolitics adds another dimension: time. Presidents get four or eight years. Institutions, alliances, armies, intelligence agencies, bureaucracies, and strategic interests can endure for generations. So perhaps the real question isn’t simply, “Who runs America?” It’s more interesting than that: Who keeps playing after everyone else leaves the table? Because the biggest mistake in 3D chess may not be misunderstanding the move. It may be misunderstanding who the players actually are.
When NATO started bombing Yugoslavia in 1999, most Americans discovered Kosovo approximately fifteen minutes before forming an opinion about it. The problem was that the people actually living there had been fighting over its history for roughly 600 years. From the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 and the Ottoman world of Vlad the Impaler, through Tito’s Yugoslavia and one bizarre, politically explosive glass-bottle incident in 1985, Kosovo accumulated centuries of grievances before the first NATO bomb fell. American troops arrived carrying rifles, radios, maps and rules of engagement. The Balkans were waiting with six centuries of history.
Kimberly Guilfoyle has spent decades surrounded by fame, wealth, beauty, and political power. From Gavin Newsom’s wife to Fox News celebrity to Trump’s ambassador to Greece, her journey raises an uncomfortable biblical question: What profits a woman to gain the whole world and lose her soul? As new financial allegations emerge, perhaps it’s time to revisit what Jesus taught about the love of money. I hope she finds redemption, because heaven doesn’t accept American Express.
Democrats handed ABC an exclusive story last week the network called, “Trump sons’ investments have won billions in Pentagon contracts since his election.” Nice story. Too bad it was misleading and possibly libelous.
Politicians and other oxygen thieves have no desire to advance us, and are not capable of improvement. They just hold on to the status que, as long as they are on top.
We have become experts on trees. Trump said something. Russia bombed something. China sanctioned something. The market moved, somebody posted something stupid, and by lunchtime half the country is furious. But zoom out to December 2019 and a different picture emerges: COVID, debt, inflation, war, rearmament, economic fragmentation, broken supply chains and great-power competition. Maybe these aren’t separate crises at all, but chapters in the same historical transition. Call it the Great Reset. Call it World War III. Historians will decide what to name it. Our problem is simpler: we’re standing three feet from an oak tree arguing about the bark while the entire forest behind us is changing.
When Trump froze foreign aid in early 2025, the left came unglued. Children would starve, democracy would collapse, and the planet would wobble off its axis and drift somewhere past Neptune. Worst of all, a taxpayer-funded comic book about an LGBTQ superhero in Lima might never get its sequel.
In Iraq I walked little girls to school past men who wanted them dead for learning to read. Then I came home and watched American kids get diplomas for sitting in a chair. Class is now in session.
Somewhere along the way, Christianity confused being peaceful with being helpless. Ephesians 6 tells us to put on the Armor of God, not wave a surrender flag. Scripture condemns vengeance, but it repeatedly recognizes the duty to protect the innocent. The Christian warrior should be reluctant, restrained, prayerful, and prepared. The firearm isn’t the mission. Peace is the mission. And sometimes peace needs someone willing to stand at the door.
A science teacher, Army combat medic, and former paramedic who has spent two decades watching this slow-motion disaster lays out the only education system worth building.
The real news is Democrats have a 13% chance of blowing a 3-seat putt. Come on, it’s a gimme. Democrats only have to pick up 3 seats. The average loss for a president’s party in the last five midterms is 31.2 seats.
Does the busy ant look up and see A giant man walk by? Could it understand a house or car or Airplane if it tried? Does a fish in an aquarium Have questions it can ask? Or will it ever be unable To know the world beyond the glass? You say, unlike …
The generals get the history books, but the lawyers and comptrollers often decide what can actually happen. The same is true of nations. If people voting with their feet is one warning sign of decline, money may vote even earlier. Before the factories close and the scientists leave, watch where capital flows, where companies invest, what central banks buy, and what currencies nations choose to use. People need passports to leave. Money just needs a mouse click.
It’s easy for a leader to demand results, establish standards, and point out where others have fallen short. It’s considerably harder to look in the mirror when something goes wrong and ask a much more uncomfortable question:
What part of this belongs to me?
That’s where leadership begins.
I keep hearing this fairy tale about how the parties “switched” sometime in the 1960s. You know, the story where racist Democrats magically transformed into civil rights champions and Republicans secretly absorbed all that Jim Crow enthusiasm overnight like some political body swap horror movie. Fascinating theory. Absolutely captivating. Just one small problem: NONE OF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
Executing Nidal Hasan may finally deliver justice for Fort Hood—but wars are fought in the information domain too. An American firing squad executing a man who claimed he had “switched sides” and embraced jihad could become instant propaganda. The first-order effect is justice. The second- and third-order effects may be a story America doesn’t control.
Part II: Economic collapse doesn’t begin when everyone runs for the exits. It begins when the people who can leave quietly decide they should. Scientists take foreign grants. Engineers follow better jobs. Entrepreneurs move companies. Families move their money and children. The poor may be stuck, while the very people capable of rebuilding the country disappear. History’s warning may be remarkably simple: watch when people begin voting with their feet.
