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…
Members of the armed forces, police and all elected government officials take an oath, not to the government, but to the Constitution of the United States. Article I, Section I clearly states – “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States which shall…

Sometimes this form of bigotry is perpetuated by far-right elements, other times at the hands of far-leftists and Islamists. It is rare to see both extremes unite for any cause except for their mutual disdain for Israel or Jews. It is even rarer to…
Seems it’s been a little much for even the Democratic Party to stomach. And that’s saying a lot. First term Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) ignited a storm of controversy with a Tweet on Sunday 10 February 2019 that cast AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) as a Jewish lobby whose…
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;…
The vacuum left by the coming de facto humiliating retreat of the U.S. military from Afghanistan at the hands of Pakistan and its Taliban proxy will likely be initially filled by a coalition of ascendant Taliban and a complement of China-Pakistan-compliant Afghan politicians. The $1 trillion U.S. investment in Afghanistan…
This coming Wednesday, February 6, 2019, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, will convene the first full committee hearing of the 116th Congress titled, “Winning the Race to 5G and the Next Era of Technology Innovation in the United States.” According to the Committee…
