Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Below the marble statues and museum mythology, the Greek and Roman “lesser gods” look suspiciously like something the Bible already warned us about: rebellious spiritual beings posing as divine authorities, corrupting humanity, and manufacturing a counterfeit religion of power, lust, blood, and “enlightenment.”
A color revolution isn’t primarily about violence. Violence is sloppy. It scares donors and ruins the optics. The real weapon is narrative. The objective is to convince enough people that the existing authority has morally expired. Once that belief spreads, the government doesn’t collapse from force — it collapses from ridicule and doubt.
History has a sense of humor, and it’s rarely kind. As the United States barrels headlong into a Fourth Turning crisis—complete with generational rage, institutional distrust, ritualized protest, economic anxiety, and ideological self-harm—China isn’t protesting anything. It’s watching. Quietly. Patiently. With a spreadsheet.
There’s a comforting little bedtime story we tell ourselves about Antarctica. Nobody owns it. Nobody fights over it. Scientists in parkas share data and hot cocoa while penguins waddle around like tiny tuxedo diplomats. It’s the one place on Earth where humanity supposedly agreed to stop acting like humanity.
Reagan, Obama and Trump all faced crisis. Leadership is the difference.
“Defense” sounds noble. It sounds like you’re protecting your kids. It sounds like you’re holding the line. It sounds like Mom, apple pie, and a golden retriever that would never bite anybody unless it absolutely had to.
Whether or not President Trump is able to acquire Greenland, there is the possibility of a conflict between China-Russia on one side, and the U.S. on the other, in order to control scarce resources. Today, Dave Cloft examines what that might look like from the eyes of a Winter Warfare Legend.
President Trump has done something even the evil Putin hasn’t done… directly threaten a NATO country with military action.
The deeper truth is that real combat resourcefulness has nothing to do with sabotage myths and everything to do with decision-making under pressure. Soldiers improvise because the battlefield demands it, not because they’re trying to outsmart physics.
Most people think war looks like explosions, uniforms, and some guy yelling into a radio while things burn. That’s Hollywood.
Real wars—the ones that stick—are usually won before anyone pulls a trigger.
Arctic warfare has always been the great equalizer. It humbles superpowers, burns through armies, and rewards only the few who understand that in the North, the environment is the real four-star general.
President Trump has the opportunity to do in Venezuela what Dubya could not do in Iraq—depose a dictator without a war.
Our good European friends in NATO are very, very concerned that President Trump is going to negotiate a peace deal, or at least a ceasefire, between Russian President Vladimir Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy that won’t be as favorable to Ukraine as they’d like, or, more accurately, too favorable to Russia. However, the European …
I have long held that the reason the Arabs stopped fighting Israel was the Arabs were losing money and prestige. Wars are expensive and unless you have a surplus of military-age men that you want to get rid of, you don’t go to war.
Great wars always seem to hinge on obscure places. The end of the Putin War on Ukraine—or at least a cease fire—may rest upon Zaporizhzhia a metropolis of 700,000 people. Just because you may not have heard of it before does not make it unimportant.
We noted, on Saturday, that the proposed peace plan is “a horrible deal for Ukraine, no doubt about that. But it does one thing: it stops the killing! It would be very dispassionate to suggest that Ukraine should keep on fighting, and its people keep on dying, if there were any reasonable prospect that they …
Author’s Note: Tradition holds that the Armenian Church was founded by two of Jesus’ apostles — Thaddeus (also known as Jude Thaddeus) and Bartholomew — who preached the Gospel in Armenia during the 1st century A.D. While Americans scroll, rage, and “fight” spiritual wars on social media, a real one ended quietly in the mountains …
The real danger isn’t Christians defending their families or forming lawful militias. The danger is people confusing holy war rhetoric with biblical responsibility and constitutional order.
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 …
