“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—     Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—     Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—     Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller penned those words in the aftermath of World War II. Initially a supporter of the National Soc

Have you ever seen or experienced one of those moments when you hear an utterance that makes you cringe? Like that time in church when the soloist was so off-key that it quenched the Spirit and made the congregation break out in empathy-sweat. “Ol’ boy was operatin’ outside his gifts!” as the saying goes. Sometimes folks get way outside their gifts, saying or doing more than they should. This has a way of robbing the moment of its expected impact. Politicians participate in s

Is anyone else tired of liberals crying wolf? We’ve all heard of Aesop’s famous fable. As the tale goes, a young boy cried wolf, alarming villagers who came running to protect their flocks. It was a lark, and the boy laughed at their panic. Enjoying himself, he cried wolf a second time, and once again the villagers rushed out to the field only to see the boy laughing at them. Then a real wolf came, but when he cried, “Wolf!” the third time, no one believed him, and the boy be

While civilians outside the gate can carry firearms with no training requirements, highly trained soldiers inside military bases are completely disarmed by strict gun control policies. Recent shootings at Fort Stewart highlight the dangerous irony: bad guys with guns can still get on base, but the "good guys with guns" – our expertly trained servicemembers – are left defenseless. This policy contradiction puts lives at risk and strips constitutional rights from those who've e

This blog post examines the clash between Trump's "common sense" approach and progressive policies across America. From controversial corporate DEI training and "woke" marketing missteps to costly sanctuary city policies and rising crime rates, we analyze real-world examples of policy outcomes. Discover why the author believes practical governance trumps ideological positioning, and join the discussion on what constitutes effective leadership in today's political landscape.

And that my friends is where the comparison to angry drunk little people brings us back to the Obama National Security Council.

“Bulletproof Influence” is the conviction-driven ability to lead with courage, clarity, and lived experience—regardless of opposition. It’s earned through preparation, tested under fire, and expressed with intentional messaging. Especially in times of leadership selection, we need more who walk and lead with that kind of influence.

But too often liberals feel that their role is to make life easier for the criminals and harder for the law-abiding citizens. Yet all too often law-abiding citizens grow numb like the vast number of Afghan citizens I knew who just accepted a life of societal upheaval.

Liberals always overreach. It’s in their nature. Their hubris prevents them from knowing when their bad ideas promote backlash. Ignoring the winds of public sentiment. Disregarding the intelligence of all rational polling and assessments.

SCOTUS handed down some landmark rulings recently that you need to be aware of.

Trump is the man of the hour, born for such a time as this. I shudder to think what the world would be like if Biden were still in the Oval Office. Iran’s nuclear ambitions would be the same regardless of who won the election. Biden would have fallen asleep at the wheel while staffers used his autopen to sign DEI proclamations and pardon murderers.

Happy 250th Birthday US Army! Congratulations America – it’s good to have you back. Strike up the band. Let’s have another big beautiful parade!
