We are a society of strong words, fair intentions, and little conviction for living up to either. After Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews, the world vowed it would never sit idly by and let another massacre happen; not on our watch. Then we watched Pol Pot kill 3 million Cambodians. China is incarcerating as many … Read more
Two of the 14 Marine Corps Leadership Traits are Initiative and Decisiveness, and President Trump certainly took some initiative and was decisive with his decision to bomb Iran and decapitate its leaders. (Other traits include Dependability, Tact, Integrity, Unselfishness, and Loyalty, which are subjects for a different column.) As was the case with his decision … Read more
There was a rare moment at this year’s State of the Union speech that is getting very little attention, and it should, because it may actually be a sign of a much bigger movement. Trump was going through his list of accomplishments and scattered in the introduction of Americans seated in the gallery to help … Read more
I went to the AFP SOTU watch party last night. Free food and beer. Two of my favorite things. And it is good to mingle with the community, stay in touch, and make a few new connections. Did I mention free food and beer? And that has to be the first SOTU I actually sat … Read more
In recent articles by various readers (Caledonian Record & Littleton Courier), I am disappointed by their unqualified remarks about President Trump as “…’Dictator in Chief’ and his thugs in charge.” This writer goes on to say that “…millions can be spent on a White House ballroom and a proposed ‘Arc de Trump’, but we can’t … Read more
The professional anti-ICE left keeps trying to appeal to the empathy of women, moms, maybe the odd beta-male, and at least a few centrist Christians, on the question of immigrant children or immigrants with children. The Children! According to Kelly, that plan centers on shaping public reaction to immigration enforcement, particularly deportation operations. “And the … Read more
If you search “Diversity” on these beloved pages (was that a stretch?), you will get over 1400 hits. Searches for DEI, Equity, Inclusion, or related forms of discrimination (and insanity) will overlap in some instances, but we’ve got plenty more to chew on when it comes to the subject, and it all leaves a bad … Read more
President Donald J. Trump, the 47th President of the United States, inherited a United States of America that was economically and militarily devastated by the Biden Border Invasion of at least 15 million illegal entries across our sovereign southern border and Biden’s devastating Demolitioncrat economic policies. Now we see a military-style anti-government insurgency and historic … Read more
I watched the Patton movie the other night. Again. I love movies, but seldom watch films more than once or twice. But I’ve probably watched Patton well over 20 times. That seems like a lot, until you consider that this movie came out in 1970. So that’s less than once every two or three years. … Read more
What Draining the Swamp Should Look Like Supporters of Donald Trump often argue that his presidency represents a meaningful challenge to the administrative state and to global governance structures. The claim is typically framed in long-term terms: that Trump is engaged in a process of dismantling entrenched power, even if the results are not yet … Read more
Americans voted overwhelmingly for change in 2024, handing Donald J. Trump a mandate to drain the swamp, yet, here we are a year into his re-election, with the same D.C. swamp denizens seemingly unscathed, no prosecutions, no accountability for even the violations of 18 U.S. Code S.242 – Deprivation of rights under color of law, … Read more
President Donald Trump and his administration are playing chess while the Liberals are trying to understand Chinese checkers. Trump Derangement Syndrome forces those afflicted to automatically criticize every Trump decision, even if it is obvious that Trump’s call was for the good of all Americans. According to the Left, every one of his cabinet appointments … Read more
It is no secret that the progressive propaganda machine that took over the education industrial complex sees parents as a barrier to their program. Parental rights bills are opposed en masse from the left of the political aisle. Even single moms, the Virgin Marys of their dependency culture, are prohibited from a say in everything … Read more
If hundreds of thousands of ballots in Georgia’s pivotal 2020 election lacked legally required certification, then calling it “secure” was never a matter of opinion; it was demonstrably false. As President Donald J. Trump asserted during and after the 2020 election, the integrity of that contest was not merely a political talking point but a foundational … Read more
Never in my lifetime did I ever think that Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and I would be on the same ideological side of any issue. When I saw headlines over the weekend that Schultz was praising the Trump action to remove and arrest Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela and relieve the people of Venezuela of decades … Read more
As of January 2026, the streets of Tehran, Isfahan, and Mashhad are alive with a sound the Islamic Republic has spent forty-seven years trying to silence: the roar of a people who no longer fear their oppressors. What began as a localized strike by shopkeepers in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar on December 28, 2025, has transformed … Read more
Overnight, the US military escorted Federal law enforcement into Caracas, Venezuela, to arrest Nicolás Maduro. By all accounts, the effort (mission) was flawless. As to the constitutionality, there will be questions. Maduro has had an arrest warrant out for years, so using the military to protect law enforcement, to collect him, in a foreign nation, … Read more
Harold Hutchison – Daily Caller News Foundation Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings told “This Week” guest host Jonathan Karl on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s efforts to address illegal immigration represented his “biggest” fulfillment of a campaign promise in 2025. Trump issued multiple executive orders to address illegal immigration Jan. 20, 2025, with some of the orders designating Venezuelan … Read more
The Republican championed new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), represents the “Deep State” in a combination of entrenched interests, committees, lobbies, and bureaucracies that value the continuity of power over innovative strategy and sound reform. It does this by restricting the drawdown of troops stationed overseas, increasing murky foreign entrenchment through legally binding efforts to … Read more
I’m sorry, but I can’t help myself. Democrats dropped a photo of Trump with a bunch of adult women, blocked out their faces, then accused him of getting “caught” in an Epstein photo dump with underage girls. You’ll probably know the details by now—adult women. No Epstein. And Mr. Trump was reported to be a … Read more
