by John Bernard, ©2026 (Aug. 21, 2026) — While we’re still on the subject of the Left’s favorite pastime, beating on the Military (as they have been doing since our very beginning), I thought I would share a couple of things with those who aren’t familiar with life in the Services.

Perspective: Fauci Hearing

Can Ilhan Omar Prove Citizenship, or Has She?
by Jonathan David Mooers, ©2026 (Jun. 5, 2026) — In renewing my U.S. passport today, I came across this “citizenship evidence” page from the U.S. Department of State.

First Amendment Protected Discussion
by Tom Arnold, ©2026 (Mar. 8, 2026) — To begin, I ask you who or what gives us (America) the right or authority to be the “world’s policeman”? May I suggest that we ask CIA Director John Ratcliffe. One more thing: why is the name Ratcliffe always underlined in bright red on my computer screen? …

Is Markwayne Mullin Fit to Serve?
by Miki Booth, ©2026 (Mar. 7, 2026) — I’m being told I should lay off of Markwayne Mullin because he’s a Republican and we need him.

Why are the Iranians attacking Moslem Nations?
by John Bernard, ©2026 (Mar. 4, 2026) — The Shia-Sunni break is along the line of claimed legitimacy of Origin, Ascendancy, Authority and thus the “right/legitimate” purveyor of Allah’s command.
