Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
As a West Point graduate, I’ve seen plenty of books take shots at the Academy. West Point: America’s Power Fraternity (1973) by K. Bruce Galloway and Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr. might be the loudest, crankiest one of the bunch.
I entered the Army in July of 1993, before President Clinton’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” experiment. Back then, the military was still primarily about blowing holes in things, breaking enemy armies, and defending the Republic. Then slowly, like a frog in a pot, the Pentagon began feeding the social science laboratory every “good idea” — except the good ideas about how to win wars.
Gallup reported, “Trust in Media at New Low of 28% in U.S.” Coincidentally, the idiocy rate in America is 28%, down from 31% last year and from 40% just five years ago.
Trump gamed the government shutdown out well in advance of the 2024 election. He figured a way to use the Kabuki theater of a shutdown to actually shut the government down. No one has done that before.
Rahm Emanuel gave the world a simple truth about politics when he wrote, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”
I almost have the sense that Governor Newsom is engaging in a bit of propaganda in hopes that the public with entrust him with the reins of power — so he can play authoritarian himself for a few years.
Cue the violins, America: it’s “government shutdown season” again. Right on schedule, like pumpkin spice lattes or bad holiday commercials, the headlines scream that federal workers will be “sent home without pay” and that the Republic teeters on the brink of collapse.
As readers know, on Monday President Trump presented a peace plan to end the FAFO War in Gaza. The nations endorsing Trump’s plan include eight Muslim nations. Iran’s terrorist arm, Hamas, is thinking things over.
The Fiscal Year (2026) Begins With The Shocking (It’s Shocking I tell You) Ecoutez Et Repetez Of The Perennial Washington DC Political Follies The players may change from time to time, but the game remains the same no matter who gets in office. This faux outrage and gamesmanship has been going on since you know …
In recent remarks, the idea of using American cities as “training grounds” for active-duty military forces was floated. While I firmly back the President’s resolve to secure this nation, we must also be clear-eyed: there are limits that every officer—whether O-1 or O-10—must know. Crossing them is not just a political issue, but a constitutional one.
The tale of two buildings in Chicago says more about American politics than anything. The building above was built by a developer with his own money raised from banks who trusted him after decades of doing business with him. Please note the beauty and light from the 92-story skyscraper. It stands 1,388 feet tall.
My mother’s grandparents and parents saw America for what it was: a land of freedom and opportunity. They loved the country that gave them opportunities that 19th-century Europe could not, or would not, provide.
This week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth did something extraordinary: he swung a wrecking ball into the bloated bureaucracy and reminded 800 generals that their job is not to manage feelings — it’s to win wars.
This week, as the nation continues to grapple with the shadows of his assassination, we blend solemn remembrance with the greens of perseverance.
The Democrats want ICE agents unmasked to have them identified, doxed, and their families threatened. You wonder if they can go any lower?
FBI agents cannot surrender the field to rioters, nor express a political view while on duty.
Charlie Kirk was assassinated. He will be an American political and cultural icon for some time to come. He is an explicitly American Christian martyr for the ages.
The State of Washington issues, not just a license to drive a personal vehicle, but a license to drive a 40 ton (when fully loaded) 18-wheeler to a foreign national who did not pass the written test and had no right to be in America.
While Uncle Sam was busy hunting down AK-wielding Toyota pickup convoys, Beijing was thinking long game. China didn’t care about al-Qaeda or ISIS. They cared about something bigger: power, influence, and global dominance.
