The Cuban people have been suffering under the yoke of a particularly brutal communist dictatorship since 1959. They were propped up by the USSR for 30 years, with oil and industrial machinery and weapons (so many weapons!) in return for being a convenient thorn in the side of America, and a fomenter of revolution across…

The existential conceit of the modern West is that our concept of civilization has been the steady state throughout history. Sure, we know that there have been paroxysms of violence on a regular basis, but those are deviations from the baseline. Peace is the ultimate goal of everyone! And that can’t be further from reality….

Whether Greenland is a vitally important strategic island that absolutely requires American possession is a question for the ages, but it is a militarily-important bulwark in the North Atlantic. It is an excellent point from which to defend the Atlantic from the Arctic Ocean and the Barents Sea. Does it have enough rare earth elements…

President Trump and his merry band of realists have dumped the conventional paradigm squarely on its head. The United States does not need an endless supply of immigrants the way we did in the 19th century. We do not need farmers and factory workers to work the physical expansion of the country. We do not…

Weren’t we assured by legions of brilliant 26-year-old journalism majors that tariffs would explode the deficit and inflation would skyrocket? Weren’t we breathlessly informed that President Trump’s economic policies were reckless and would result in recession, high unemployment, rampant homelessness, Americans starving and, probably, hemorrhoids? Weren’t we told that his immigration enforcement would leave American…

The people of Iran made a huge mistake in 1978-1979. Their support for the Ayatollah Khomeini was catastrophic on many levels, especially since the country was meandering toward full modernity and entrance into the 1st World with the Shah in power. What they got for their efforts was a savage religious dictatorship that quickly consolidated…

The Trump administration and the United States military has begun the process of freeing Venezuela from the self-imposed grip of communist dictators. But the goal for us should not be to release Venezuelans from their bondage, but to stop the flow of drugs into America, end Venezuela’s interference in our domestic affairs, and stop the…

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. — John Adams He had an excellent point, and the collapse of recruiting for the United States military was indicative of a loss of moral clarity on the part of our government. So why…

We were promised forever wars by the bien pensants, and President Trump has disappointed us greatly. The surgical strike on Iran’s major nuclear facilities was a superb example of American technological superiority, logistics skill, intelligence capability, war planning, and above all, the marvel of the American military unleashed to do what they do better than…

How many times have we heard that the Mad Mullahs are teetering on the brink, and will be driven out of Iran by THE PEOPLE? And how many times have we been disappointed? Sure, Obama had a lot to do with the failure of The Green Movement in 2009, and his convenient $400,000,000 payoff to…
