Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
When you have spare time on your hands, it’s easy to waste that time doing fun things, unimportant things, nonconsequential things. You usually find such time after you’ve worked hard to accomplish your tasks, usually ahead of schedule. Having the time to do those silly things is a reward for completing your mission with …
The only difference between American and Russian censorship is that, because of the First Amendment, the U.S. government is forced to be more subtle. In Russia, censorship is expected. In America, it must be obscured.
Despite the best efforts of the Democrats to keep him out: building fences, beefing up the security forces, keeping hundreds of innocent Americans in prison as a warning that Congress was serious about keeping the Donald at bay, he showed up anyway. It was as masterful escapade, showing up disguised as Joe Biden
More devastating political parody from the acerbic keyboard of Albert Constantine Jr.
This is just a little of their Constitution, which I don’t think it’s worth the paper it is printed on. The Russian people most of the time are kept out of the loop of what their Government (Putin) is doing.
The Biden Administration doesn’t want the Russian invasion of Ukraine to derail their green energy dreams.
The attack on the Ukrainian nuclear plant was a risk. If the strike damaged the containment vessel, it could have unleashed nuclear radiation. That got me thinking about the broader risks of destruction.
• Russian destroys Ukrainian cities and infrastructure trying to take it. More adventures like the nuclear plant could do it.
• Oligarchs in Russia see both a crisis and an opportunity and arrest/kill Putin and take control and force a “favorable” settlement with Ukraine that lets the oligarchs buy Ukrainian assets and resources.
• The west’s sanctions cripple the west and the Russians, leaving an opportunity for the Chinese to go after both. Perhaps they are crocodile watching the two snakes fight it out to take them both.
Fresh off her two-week suspension for making disrespectful comments about victims of the Holocaust, Whoopi Goldberg is back to yelling at people on “The View.”
Man, woman, young, old, soldier, civilian—everyone will find the inspiration, comfort, or push they need from James N. Rowe’s story of captivity. The Special Forces Intelligence Officer and man eventually responsible for developing the US Army’s SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) training program was one of only two men to escape the Viet Cong.
Doesn’t it seem strange that with all the hysteria over war mongering politicians and presidents over the past 60 years-including the egregious treatment of candidates like Barry Goldwater-recall the LBJ political cartoon of Daisy Girl happily holding flowers on a sunny day when a nuclear detonation suddenly reflects in her eyes (two additional great candidate …
The Democrats set out to destroy Donald Trump. Instead, they energized his movement.
I understand the conflict is ongoing and does not have a known end date or end state conditions. But the sooner the USG, NATO, and the EU think through the dynamics of assessment, the quicker they can respond and conduct it. If they stand up coordinated assessment teams now, they can start assessing pre-conflict items, and conflict response now and gathering data.
Remember the halcyon days of 2020 and 2021, in which Philadelphia, among most major cities, allowed restaurants which had been otherwise closed to indoor dining, to expand, where they physically could, to outdoor dining facilities? A challenging problem in a city which experiences severe winters, outdoor dining and increased carry-out ordering enabled many restaurants to …
In August, Reuters reported that, according to their sources (four current and former law enforcement officials): “The FBI has so far found no evidence that he [Trump] or people directly around him were involved in organizing the violence.”
The timing of a graphic artist’s blunder at WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, couldn’t possibly have been worse – or better – depending on your opinion of Joe Biden.
We had many opportunities to discourage the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and missed all of them.
The United States detonated nuclear bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the 6th and 9th of August 1945. The nuclear bombs laid to waste these two cities. The after-mass was devastating.

I think we also need to keep in mind the problems that a harsh peace settlement can create. The Treaty of Versailles created WWII. We certainly do not want that. We need to use WWII’s peace as an example. Our goal should be to incorporate Russia into the west as a responsible state with an effective government that embraces human and western values.
Therefore, I propose a different way to handle these war crimes. Separate the kleptocrats from the state. Prosecute the kleptocrats and use their considerable personal wealth to pay for the damage they inflicted in Ukraine. By most accounts, this is billions of dollars.
In a speech that really needed to move the needle on President Joe Biden’s tanking approval numbers, his Adderall-fueled State of the Union address was filled with gaffes, lies and most significantly, his stubborn refusal to abandon his administration’s dangerous policies.
