Reagan Quotes
Ronald Reagan is the godfather of modern conservatism. He slam-dunked TWO landslide elections – arguably three as Bush was elected in 1988 purely on Reagan’s coattails. Almost every Republican since then – AND EVEN A HANDFUL OF DEMOCRATS – invoke Reagan’s name today and quote his speeches from memory. There’s a reason for all that.…

Russian Propaganda: Don’t Believe Everything You Hear
In America we throw around the word “propaganda” a lot, usually applied to “mainstream media” being overtly biased toward the political left. Not that this isn’t a good example, but the American news version of propaganda is in the lightweight division compared to the big boys, Nazi Germany and RUSSIA. There are two major differences…

Country of Heroes
In one of the most famous scenes from the movie “Braveheart”, the main character, William Wallace (played by Mel Gibson) is in front of his outnumbered Scottish army about to face the English forces in battle and gives a little speech.

Russian Invasion: The Clear Story vs Smoke and Mirrors
When we look back on the history of WWII, the heroes, villains, and victims are all fairly clear. The Nazi atrocities against the Jews were clear.

He and I had long discussions over lunch in the company cafeteria sorting out the world’s problems. At the time (~1998) I was a conservative, Christian Republican, and pretty much thought…

Zelensky Bans Freedom of Religion, Press, and Opposition Political Parties?
It has become common to hear from some popular voices that Ukraine’s President Zelensky has banned religion, free media, and opposition political parties, implying that he’s a bit of a totalitarian that may not be all that different from Putin. You’ll hear this from Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard, and Ron Paul. I’ll quote Gabbard since…

Should we have opposed Hitler?
“Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” What many may not realize is that almost everything happening now in Ukraine has happened before with striking similarity. In the aftermath of Germany’s defeat in WWI the Treaty of Versailles (the peace treaty that ended WWI) stripped Germany of its military and required…

How did the Ukraine War become a Left vs. Right Issue?
How did the Ukraine War become a Left vs. Right Issue? CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYT, WaPo, and mainstream Hollywood often have a particular unified slant on many controversial issues, and this slant is typically toward the left side of the political/ideological spectrum (to say the least, aka, “Fiery but mostly peaceful protests…”). Now,…

Tucker Carlson PULLING FOR RUSSIA!
Tucker Carlson PULLING FOR RUSSIA! The facts of the Ukraine war are fairly clear: For really no reason other than an appetite for conquest, on February 24, 2022, Russia launched an all-out military invasion on Ukraine, often targeting civilians with murder, rape, torture, and even child “deportations”, and that the only moral, humane, and even…
