Some may have heard of the stratagem of divide and conquer. The goal of such a strategy is to sow discord or isolate certain elements from another for one objective: attaining an advantage. This is what we see happening in our America with the progressive socialist tactic of identity politics. Its…
If you have been paying attention to the news cycle, the title of this missive makes sense. If you have been buying into the progressive socialist left’s “manufactured crisis” talking point when it comes to our southern border, well, you have no clue. President Donald Trump has asserted that he…
Yes, you know that I am alluding to the case of one Jussie Smollett. I find it rather unconscionable that all of a sudden all charges are dropped. Let’s get it right, it was not that Smollett was exonerated — yes he pleaded not guilty — but for some reason,…
I know that right now everyone is focusing on the Mueller Report that was concluded and submitted last week on Friday. I must say, if there was some big smoking gun, we all know that it would have been released and submitted beginning of the week, and not late Friday…
Regular readers will note that we have presented a number of posts about soldiers who have been jailed during the commission of duty or have received unduly harsh sentences. You can read about Clint Lorance, Matthew Golsteyn, Michael Giles, Anthony Benavides. . . and now you can add to that list: Derrick Miller. Once…
Yes, the slick manipulators of language are at it again. First, it was undocumented workers, but now the leftist socialists have a new name for illegal immigrants in order to advance their ideological agenda. Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled it this past weekend, right here, deep in the heart of Texas.As…
Earlier this week, I shared my assessment on the most recent anti-Semitic rant from the Congresswoman of Minnesota, Ilhan Omar. I expressed my sentiments that nothing would come of this, there would be no consequences or ramifications. I never like to say, I told ya so, but doggone. As reported…
This past week and weekend the American Conservative Union put on its annual CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) just outside of Washington, D.C. at the National Harbor. It is widely regarded as the largest gathering of “conservatives” in the United States, drawing the top voices in the conservative movement. But,…
I must ask, how many of you ever thought you would hear an American president, while speaking at a State of the Union Address, assert that “America will never be a socialist country”? I tend to believe that none of us would have ever believed that would be a necessary…
Faithful readers of the Old School Patriot know that I have been a longtime supporter of a pardon for young US Army 1LT Clint Lorance wrongfully imprisoned by the Army in Ft. Leavenworth. I recently received this copy of a letter from 1LT Lorance. It’s beyond unconscionable that Clint is…
Yes, Trump Derangement Syndrome does exist, and it has manifested itself in a very evident manner. I normally do not delve into the realm of culture, but this Jussie Smollett case is rather revealing of something deep, sinister, mentally disturbing. We all remember how the progressive socialist left went into…
Some of you might say that we were fighting the Taliban because they are an Islamic terrorist organization that harbored Al Qaeda. We sought to eliminate the base of operations they maintained in Afghanistan, but somewhere we got distracted and started nation building. We lost our enemy focus and should…
