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…

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 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…
I love my Army, but in the case of Major Matthew Goldsteyn, the Army is completely wrong. Here is why: How can the Army charge this highly decorated Special Forces Green Beret officer with the premeditated murder of a known Taliban bomb maker in a combat zone, Afghanistan? Here is someone…
With those two very simple words, President Donald Trump took the progressive socialist left out behind the woodshed, as we say down South. The leftists, especially the women in white, were completely outmaneuvered and made to look completely unaware. The theme of that speech rendered the progressive socialist left cornered;…
Last week, there was an interesting exchange on the ABC show, “The View” between hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. It came in the aftermath of the now infamous Covington Catholic High School media debacle. The Washington Examiner captured the dialogue, beginning with Ms. Goldberg: “‘Many people admitted they made snap…
There are two special birthdays this week, both of whom were, and always will be, extremely influential in my life. See, I grew up in the downtown Atlanta black community known as the Old Fourth Ward, a very historic place. It was there that my dad, Herman “Buck” West moved…

We now have a new majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Already we are seeing a very distinct direction in which this majority will legislate. A fair question that should be posed, and assessed, is what the future of liberty in America is … if we are indeed trending…
