"No Kings:" Election Deniers Screaming In The Streets

Do not be deceived by the number of such events across the nation: It is the same people at each. Cell phone pings from the various hate-Trump rallies and found that 80% of the cell phones had been at each protest across the New England states. These protests are not organic grassroots.

Dispelling the Myth of Christian Nationalism: Understanding True Christian Values

by

Christian nationalism is a term that has garnered attention in recent years, often used to describe a perceived blending of Christianity and nationalist beliefs. However, it is crucial to understand that Christian nationalism is not an ideology that any Christian self-proclaims to be a member of. Instead, it is a term that has been fabricated by those who oppose Christianity, intending to isolate, polarize, and ostracize believers.

The 10-to-4 Problem: What Rimfire Teaches That Centerfire Hides

by

At distances out to 100 yards, the differences between rimfire and centerfire aren’t subtle—they are foundational. A .22 LR match round leaves the muzzle at roughly 1050 feet per second, already flirting with the sound barrier and quickly settling into subsonic flight. Compare that to a typical centerfire round—say a .308—moving at nearly three times that speed, carrying significantly higher ballistic efficiency, and backed by a rigid, jacketed bullet designed to punch through the air rather than cooperate with it.

TSSA: $10 Billion for Airports, $0 for Kids: America’s Backward Security Priorities

by

There’s a quiet absurdity baked into modern America, and like most absurdities, we’ve lived with it so long we stopped questioning it. Every day, the federal government spends billions protecting people who fly occasionally—while leaving tens of millions of children sitting in classrooms with wildly inconsistent security.

I am in the hotel elevator with a guy and his dog. The dog is wearing pajamas. They are white pajamas with polka dots.

“Say hello to Kevin,” says the man with the dog.

Kevin wags his tail, looking at me. Waiting for my salutation.

Teeth Sharpening: Telling the Stories of Grown Men Through Children’s Books

"No, David!" by David Shannon cover illustration.

Can a 5-year-old with sharpened teeth tell the story of grown men? If you give him a talented author and illustrator, 30 pages and 60 words, why, yes. Yes, he can. David Shannon wrote “No, David!” nearly three decades ago. He based it on a book he made and illustrated as a child. The only words in it were “no” and “David.” Who can’t relate?

Cognitive Warfare: The Fight You’re Already In (Whether You Know It or Not)

by

NATO didn’t invent cognitive warfare, but they did something important: they named it. And once you name something, you can’t pretend it isn’t there. Their definition isn’t wrapped in science fiction or Hollywood nonsense. It’s blunt. Cognitive warfare is about influencing or disrupting how people think in order to shape what they do. Not just soldiers, not just leaders—everyone. Entire populations. Allies, adversaries, and increasingly, your own backyard.
