The aforementioned quote by Lenin aptly describes the propaganda machine of the progressive socialist left. In and of itself, socialism as an economic model cannot be advanced by way of truth. It relies upon deceit, false narratives, and outright lies such as, “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,”…
Ilhan Omar has referred to now dead Quds Force Commander General Qassim Suleimani, as a foreign official. Suleimani was the head of a designated Islamic terrorist organization. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. Omar is the same person who referred to 911 as “some people did something,” and has made…
If a recent article published by the Modern War Institute at West Point, “Don’t Let Kabul 2020 Look Like Saigon 1975: The Dangers of a Precipitous Afghanistan Withdrawal,” represents the prevailing American views on military strategy, then it goes a long way to explain why the United States lost the…
Greetings everyone, I pray y’all enjoyed a wonderful and blessed Christmas. As I sit here in my home in Garland, Texas, I realize that these are the final days of this decade. It has been an incredible 10 years for me, coming back from Afghanistan as a civilian/military adviser and…
There should never have been any doubt that the Iranian regime would return to direct strikes against American targets. It got away with the 1983 Beirut Embassy and Marine Corps barracks bombings; overtly allying with Usama bin Laden in Khartoum in 1990; Khobar Towers (1996), the East Africa Embassy bombings…
The partisan impeachment of President Donald Trump, its shredding of the Constitution and disregard for due process, are just symptoms of the Democrat party’s abandonment of both democracy and sanity in its ruthless pursuit of permanent political power at any cost. Although it may appear inexplicable, the behavior of the…
Here we are, the end of another year, 2019. As always there will be many reflections back on the year, high and low moments. And so, I offer my reflection upon this past year, especially as we head into 2020. I like the fact that the coming year is 2020;…
Since independence, there has been no more accurate barometer of the malfeasance of Pakistan’s government or the volatility of its political system than the frequent fate of the country’s leaders – assassination, execution, prison or disgrace. Such is the fate of Pakistan’s former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf, who was…
The interesting thing about the title to this missive is that some will immediately ascertain the meaning, but some will be clueless. That is indeed the result of the progressive socialist left not teaching history, but engaging in ideological revisionist storytelling. As well, it is a reflection upon the success…
Howdy, y’all! I am sending you Christmas greetings from The Woodlands, Texas. Since early Monday I have been on the road to beautiful Kerrville, Texas, in Hill Country, then to Conroe and The Woodlands. I am about to hit the road heading to Sugarland, and later this evening, College Station. It…
December 2015 was a pivotal month in many respects. During the first week of December 2015, Donald Trump began to establish a substantial lead over his Republican primary opponents. Vice President Joseph Biden traveled to Ukraine to announce, on December 7th, a $190 million program to “fight corruption in law enforcement and reform the…
“I don’t want to comment on that,” President Trump said. “The answer’s ‘no’.” And with those words, the President of the United States dismissed a golden opportunity to offer even a word of encouragement to the courageous Iranian people who have stood up to an enemy regime to demand their…
