From Shield to Sword: Japan Quietly Loads the Tomahawk

by

There was a time—not long ago—when the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force operated like a disciplined sentry: alert, capable, and formidable, but fundamentally reactive. Their destroyers were built to defend sea lanes, hunt submarines, and intercept incoming threats, not to reach deep into an adversary’s homeland. That posture wasn’t an accident. It was the product of history, law, and a deliberate national choice to remain a shield in a dangerous neighborhood. But shields, as it turns out, are only comforting until someone realizes they don’t have to stand in front of them.

Today’s No Kings, Pro-Iran Quislings: A Reminder of America’s Vietnam War Turncoats

by

I thought I had seen the last of traitorous Americans cursing our soldiers or calling for them to be killed when the last American combat troops were pulled out of Vietnam following the 1973 Paris Peace Treaty. After the disgusting display by anti-American, pro-Iran thugs in Philadelphia and the perfidious “No Kings” protestors last weekend, it appears I was wrong.

The Mourning Scroll, Because It’s Too Early to Read In All Caps

by

Coffee is ready. Pour said coffee. Check my phone. Look at emails. The first subject line attracts my attention. “YOU ARE NOT A TRUE AMERICAN IF YOU DON’T READ THIS!!!”

I want to be a true American, but for the next few minutes I’ll have to settle for being a fallacious one. Namely, because it’s a little early to be reading anything in all caps.

When Deployment Felt Like Relief: The Pre-9/11 Army We Pretend to Forget

by

Büdingen, Germany, late ’90s. The barracks were “historic,” which was Army-speak for old, fragile, and nobody wants to pay to fix it. The plumbing was past its expiration date—backups, leaks, that constant low-grade stench that never quite left your clothes. And that’s where we put our enlisted soldiers. The pitch from leadership bordered on parody: “You’re living in a historic building—Adolf Hitler once gave a speech here. See the photo!” That didn’t land. Not even close.

Elections Matter

Restoring trust in U.S. elections requires passing the SAVE Act, which mandates citizenship verification and voter ID, because election integrity is essential to American democracy.

NYT tries to divide the nation: But No Kings rallies plus CPAC’s Convention still equal zero

by

The New York Times’s latest attempt to unite the nation against President Trump—and everyone else who wants to Make America Great Again—consisted of tying CPAC’s convention this weekend to the No Kings protests across the world. I must admit that the Times staff was dogged in its effort. Reporters showed a lot of pluck but per usual, the result showed it was another luckless Acme product in fresh packaging.

Good News for American Evangelical Protestants

by
Church

There’s always good news for Bible-based Evangelicals in the Good News of Lord Jesus Christ.  His Resurrection is celebrated every Sunday.  And, there’s good news in numbers, despite the gloom and doom data painting a Post-Christian America and death spiral for Western Civilization.  Bible-based Evangelical Protestants are growing – not as much as non-Believers and way less than possible, but growing.  Growing is good.

China: The New World Order They Intend—And the Life You’d Live Inside It

by

Under a Chinese-led global order, you wouldn’t necessarily feel “ruled” by China in a direct sense. You would feel aligned to it. Your country’s economy would be plugged into Chinese supply chains. Your infrastructure might be financed, built, or maintained through Chinese-linked systems. Your technology stack—networks, platforms, standards—would quietly converge with theirs because it’s cheaper, faster, and already widely adopted.

Why Was Epic Thunder Launched Now? Continued failed diplomacy is only a deferral of catastrophe

by

Cognitive dissonance is in the air once again. Failed former Obama and Biden national security and foreign policy apparatchiks, Democrats in Congress, assorted globalists in Europe, pro-CCP influence peddlers, the descendants of Neville Chamberlain, and the legion of legacy media talking heads afflicted with TDS have been doing their damnedest to undermine the long-delayed rescue operation of the Iranian people who have been held hostage by a theocratic autocracy since 1979.
