Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
If there is one thing that The Philadelphia Inquirer’s ‘Worldview’ columnist has been adamant on is arming Ukraine to fight the evil Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Russia. But even she couldn’t hide the fact that after 3½ years of war, Ukraine is starting to lose. As Ukraine falters, Trump tries to hand the country to …
Here’s a fun riddle: what do you call a man who works for the President of the United States and thirty-one other heads of state — all at once — and can’t tick off any of them? Answer: The SACEUR.
America has the attention span of a goldfish on an energy drink. If a war isn’t trending, isn’t hashtagged, or doesn’t have a Marvel movie tie-in, it simply evaporates from public memory. And so we forgot Bosnia.
these are Hamas fanatics, who can, and will, and already have tried to continue the war. From The Jerusalem Post:
The old lie will always sound poetic. It always has. But maybe, this Veterans Day, we can start telling a new truth: The most noble act of service isn’t dying for empire — it’s living for liberty, for truth, and for the people God entrusted us to protect.
During World War II, America quietly became a warden to over 425,000 prisoners of war—mostly Germans, Italians, and a few thousand Japanese. They arrived in Liberty ships and railcars, scattered to more than 700 camps across 46 states.
Use of force without direct Congressional authorization is often problematic. But that doesn’t make it illegal or unconstitutional.
After World War I, the victorious allies, with the blessings of the newly formed United Nations, carved up the Ottoman Empire creating the independent nations of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Israel.
Part II — The Empire That Wouldn’t Quit (1878–1880, 1919) Most nations learn from pain. Empires just reload. Four decades later, London decided another Afghan “adjustment” was needed. The Russians were sniffing around again, and Britain wanted control of Kabul’s foreign policy. Cue Round Two, where British troops marched back into Afghanistan and once again …
They called it the Great Game — the 19th-century chess match between Britain and Russia for control of Central Asia. Somewhere between tea time and arrogance, the British decided Afghanistan would make a lovely buffer zone between their Indian colony and the advancing Russians.
You have to hand it to them—wars are incredibly efficient. They fix unemployment, erase debt, trim the population, spike GDP, and make the right people filthy rich. If you were a global leader addicted to fame, adrenaline, and taxpayer cash, you’d love war too.
Plans to deploy Tomahawks to Ukraine will only reveal America’s weakness.
So very, very many of the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian demonstrators were decrying ‘genocide’ of the ‘Palestinians’ by Israel in the two-year-long war. They published all sorts of photos of places before-and-after the war. The same could have been done concerning Berlin and Dresden and Tokyo and Yokohama, because that’s what it takes to win wars. The …
Norway announced its recipient of the Nobel Prize yesterday. As peace broke out in the Middle East, the New York Post reported, “Gazans join Israelis in chanting Trump’s name over cease-fire: ‘Nobel Prize to Trump!’” President Donald John Trump earned the prize long before he ended the FAFO War that Palestinians began two years ago.
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.
After over five years held as prisoner by Hamas, Israel Defense Force soldier Gilad Shalit reunites with his father. (Photo by Ori Shifrin / IDF Spokesperson’s Unit)One thing is clear: Israel has defeated, destroyed, demolished Hamas in every way but one: Hamas still has the hostages. Hamas says it has agreed to parts of the …
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.
Could you imagine the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among our friends on the left if Donald Trump’s peace proposal led to a lasting peace in the Middle East, and he won the Nobel Peace Prize for it? Qatar tells US it can convince Hamas to disarm, accept Trump plan Sources told the …
Mister William was old when I interviewed him years ago. Ancient, actually. Mid-nineties. Bent and pale. “It was World War II,” William began. “I was in Italy…”
As an ORSA math geek, I was the Army’s personal calculator monkey. My job? Crunch the ROI on our advertising campaigns. Translation: I figured out if dropping $62+ million a year on slapping Army logos onto NASCAR stock cars was actually convincing anyone to trade their Budweiser for a Beretta.
