Hormuz: The Reality TV War and China’s Unfortunate Front-Row Seat

Modern war has acquired an odd new feature. It now comes with graphics, dramatic music, and a nightly highlight reel. Precision bombs streak across the screen. Drones glide in cinematic slow motion. Social media fills with grainy infrared footage of things exploding in the desert while commentators nod gravely and say phrases like “escalation dynamics” and “rules-based order.”

It Is Time To publicly Heal An American Patriot Whose Name Was Dragged Through The Mud: LTG Michael T. Flynn (US Army, Retired)

When you are looking for the sharpest tool in the kit bag, pass by “Prissy” John Brennan: he is not it. This dopey concept to appeal to the moderate Islamic maniacs schtick nonsense of Team Obama was like approaching the tiger cage wearing milk bone underwear talking nice to the “big kitty.”

The Age of Narrative: When Psychological Operations Run the World

For most of history, lies moved slowly. A king issued a proclamation. A priest told a story. A rumor drifted across a village. Today, narratives move at the speed of fiber optics, algorithmically amplified and psychologically engineered. What once required an empire now requires a social media campaign.

I Think, Therefore I Algorithm

I woke up, staggered from my bedroom, and made coffee. I pulled out my phone, and commenced to scroll social media.

On my screen, a young woman, in pajamas, dancing in her kitchen. She was maybe mid twenties, with a pierced nose, and extremely hairy armpits.

The Drone Revolution: Warfare’s Latest Game of Technological Ping-Pong

The basic idea of unmanned warfare actually dates back more than a century. During World War I, armies experimented with remotely controlled aircraft and explosive “aerial torpedoes.” They were crude and unreliable, but the concept was already there: send a machine instead of a pilot into harm’s way. Through the Cold War the idea matured into reconnaissance drones used primarily for surveillance. The United States began using early UAVs over Vietnam and later refined the concept in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Where the Redhead Grows

Sometimes, as a writer you will find yourself as a guest on TV shows promoting stuff. You’ll be seated on a television set that is an exact duplication of a family room. Except, of course, this family room has nuclear studio lights that cause third-degree sunburns.

The Weaponization of Children

The Weaponization of Children

Indoctrination of school children is nothing new. It started shortly after President Carter established the US Department of Education, slowly, unnoticed by most parents. President Obama accelerated the indoctrination to a delusional level by forcing transgender ideology and CRT on kids as young as age 5.

AI for Me, Not for Thee: When Students Get Punished for What Leaders Get Paid to Do

A couple years ago, when ChatGPT first exploded onto the scene, I was teaching at a Christian school. My philosophy with technology has always been simple: learn it before you fear it. Every major technological shift in history has followed the same pattern—first confusion, then panic, then acceptance once people realize it’s not going away. So I did what teachers are supposed to do. I explained the technology to my students.
