Are We Totally Screwed?

January 20, 2025 Skip

OK, this is long. Steve will shake his head as I describe it as a lot like me getting ready to ask a GrokTALK! participant a question: a long run up and then the question. I’ve justified the habit as if I’m chasing that person into a three-walled canyon so that they’d have to get … Read more

September 22, 2024 John Deyermond - Major General, USA (RET)

Today, our military services face growing threats around the world while their ability to maintain a quality, well-trained, and capable force is at risk.

Unravelling of the Armed Forces – Part Two

January 9, 2024 Op-Ed

Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, the Department of Defense surprised me once again—this time involved General Austin in his role as Secretary of Defense.

The Military Does An About-Face After Woke Garbage Tanks Recruiting

December 2, 2023 Op-Ed

Don’t Give Biden Credit. He Created This Mess

October 21, 2023 Ray Cardello

We all agree that a calm world results from a strong America. Donald Trump is the first President since Jimmy Carter not to enter U.S. Troops into a new conflict. Part of the reason for that period of peace is Trump rebuilt our military to a point where nobody dared threaten the United States or its allies.

Need a Little Lift? Here’s Some Red Meat American Patriotism to Start Your Morning

September 21, 2023September 21, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Mark Robinson is the current Lt. Governor of North Carolina. He is the first black man to hold the role, but he deserves a shot at much higher office (rumor has it he might be on Trump’s shortlist for VP, but that is not confirmed). All I can say is, wow!

August 16, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Biden and Austin Have Taken Our Military From Strong to Woke

October 31, 2022 Ray Cardello

This article is appropriate to be published on Halloween because it should scare every American. The fact it does not spook the Left is a story in itself. The Heritage Foundation recently released its assessment of our Military strength and readiness and gave their lowest scores in history.

Forrest Gump Goes “Woke”

November 12, 2024October 9, 2022 Jim Betti

Readers are encouraged to remember the fictional Forrest Gump character was a poor, simple, fatherless, southern boy from Alabama brought up by his single-parent mother. And whose book and movie life sparked reflection on America’s 1950,’60, and ‘70s political turmoil. He is back in that role, resurrected as an enlisted 2022 American soldier.

Senator Shaheen Just did Something Fabulous and Deserves Some Praise

November 15, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Senator Shaheen is not my favorite US Senator, policy-wise. I don’t know her personally, and frankly, that is irrelevant. It’s all about the votes, even if I like you as a person. What you do and say matters. And Senator Shaheen just did something fabulous and deserved some praise.
