The Party of No Responsibility

I learned an important maxim from my service in the Army: "Leaders take responsibility, they never take credit.” It is time that America stops selecting imbecilic, irresponsible charlatans as elected officials. It is time for the adults to step up, as responsible adults, and do what is necessary to lead this Nation. It starts with telling the American people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear, or being gimme-crats.

Sympathy for the Devil

How does the United States deal with non-state, non-uniform unlawful combatants? Those who are part of a defined state's armed services, who wear a common uniform, and openly carry their weapons and arms are recognized by the Law of Land Warfare as "lawful combatants.” And, as lawful combatants, they are afforded what is termed "combatant privilege.” Go back and read about the Geneva Convention protections. However, non-state, non-uniform belligerents on the battlefield, terrorists, are not afforded combatant privilege because they are unlawful combatants.

Thanksgiving and Our First Freedom

Greetings y'all, I am praying that everyone will enjoy a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends. This is one of those special American celebrations, traditions, but it is also imperative that we understand the real nature of why we should be giving thanks.

The Seditious and Treasonous Actions of Leftist Elected Officials

There has been much chatter about the video released by six Marxist leftist elected officials with military backgrounds. The group is composed of Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan. In this now viral video, these useful idiots, Vladimir Lenin's term, make the insidious statement to the members of our US Armed Forces that, “You can refuse illegal orders...you must refuse illegal orders.”

What is Law to the Marxist Left?

What is law to the Marxist left? To the rest of us, the law is the law. To the Marxists, it is whatever they want it to be to maintain control.

You Reap What You Sow

There has been incessant commentary, analysis, assessments, and consternation about the results from last week's off-cycle elections. There are those on the left who are dancing in the end zone and spiking the football. Those on the right are seemingly wringing their hands. So, what is my assessment of the situation from last Tuesday's election?

There is No First Amendment Right for Black Conservatives to Speak on Racism

This from the censors at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University... How dare a retired U.S. Army officer, combat veteran, with multiple academic degrees, who is Black, set foot on the campus of ERAU and think he will have a platform to objectively analyze the cultural Marxist Trojan horse known as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?
