  • 'Fear itself' is now America’s great problem

    'Fear itself' is now America’s great problem

    Our nation has spent almost two years being “chilled to the bone” by fear-mongering. Fear is killing us and must stop. During previous times of national emergency, America put its ultimate faith in God and kept fear under control with faith. In 1933, Roosevelt reminded Americans of that characteristic defining our success and demanded we shed fear.

    My thoughts on the death of General Colin Powell

    News of the death of General Colin Powell on Oct. 18 brought back many memories to me personally.  When I was commissioned as a new Army officer in the summer of 1990, General Colin Powell was the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

    Progressive 'colonization' has brought failure to foreign affairs

    The source of American unity and exceptionalism

    In multiple Sept 11, 2021 addresses, we captured a window into Biden’s understanding of why America is, as he puts it, “unique”.

    Thoughts on post-Afghanistan America and manhood

    As Americans, we have all seen the societal changes and the destruction of almost every all-male institution, including the Boy Scouts. We have seen the promotion of effeminate men and demonizing of the masculine. Meanwhile, our primary competitors, China and Russia, are moving in the opposite direction by encouraging masculinity and deemphasizing feminine boys.

    Strategic incompetence in the fall of Afghanistan

    Like many Afghan War Veterans, I have watched the rapid Taliban seizure of Afghanistan with much deep emotion.  I left my wife and three young children for a 15-month combat mobilization as an Infantry officer adviser to Afghan National Security forces fighting the Taliban.

    What if the communist China party really is to blame?

    Many conservative pundits have warned of the influence of Marxism on the leaders of Black Lives Matter, but what if it’s even worse than that? What if BLM is indirectly funded by the Chinese Communist Party? What if BLM has wittingly or unwittingly become part of a CCP scheme to attack Christianity and undermine the United States?

  • Modern progressive movement undermines our founding ideals

    Modern progressive movement undermines our founding ideals

    What we are seeing is a growing and dangerous worldview of the Left, diametrically opposed to that of most Americans and with the potential to disintegrate the Union. Let me explain.

  • What Alexis de Tocqueville would tell us today about the media

    What Alexis de Tocqueville would tell us today about the media

    Alexis de Tocqueville would likely tell Americans today that democracy in America is under assault, and its survival is flimsy if the media’s ever-growing control over our news continues. He would tell us that the people of America, not media and big tech progressive elites, must rule.
