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.

Ground game, grit and clutch kicking helps Army outlast Tulane 20–17.

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 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.

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.

October 7, 2023 was Israel’s 9/11—a surprise attack on Shabbat and Simchat Torah, almost exactly fifty years after the Yom Kippur War. Terrorists understand that violence is the weapon, but fear is the payload, and calendars, holidays and symbolism can amplify the blast. Three years later, the consequences have spread far beyond Gaza: Israel abandoned containment, Iran’s proxy strategy collided with Israeli deterrence, and America discovered once again that being the global hegemon means everybody sends you the bill. The old Middle East wasn’t stable. It was merely temporarily not exploding.
