On November 13, 2017, Oh Chong Song, a soldier in the North Korean army, made a break for the South Korean border. North Korea has seen a sharp increase in defections since strict new sanctions were placed on the reclusive nation over Kim Jong Un’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and long-range delivery systems, but attempts […]
In September of this year, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson provided the federal government, and the press, with a report outlining the Air Force’s cost projection for standing up a new branch of the U.S. Armed Forces dedicated specifically to space and orbital defense. According to the report, this new Trump directive would cost the […]
Recently, there have been numerous calls for the establishment of a European army. Proponents of an all-European force argue that it will diminish Europe’s dependence on the United States when it comes to defence. The context behind these calls is the desire of many European officials to pursue a more autonomous defence and foreign policy. […]
The charge-sheet describing Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward “Eddie” Gallagher’s actions in Iraq has been leaked, and it is disturbing.

Read Part II here. Approaching the entrance, the music got louder in volume… until it was at outdoor concert decibels. The white antenna masts of about half a dozen local news trucks in the near distance reminded me of sailing ships at anchorage. Between songs were various pro-Trump information snippets about campaign promises he had […]
Throughout the course of American history, many politicians have landed memorable bonehead one-liners. Scandals, failures, straight up lies, political unrest, bi-partisan derisiveness… none of them are new, or unique to our current political setting. And none of them are free of from politicians saying something that makes you think, “Did they just say that?” Though, […]
Read Part I here. I had gotten the invitation to attend the Trump rally from my friend, Keith, who emailed me saying he had two tickets and asked if I wanted to go with him. I was surprised getting the invite from him. I’ve known him 10 years, and never thought of him as a […]
A few weeks ago, during a Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” segment, comedian Pete Davidson made a joke about former Navy SEAL and current congressman-elect Dan Crenshaw’s eye patch, saying that he looked like “a hit man from a porno movie.” It may have made for a cheap laugh, but Davidson really got himself in […]
President Trump’s ability to get rid of birthright citizenship by executive order If Dean Eastman, Senator Jacob Howard, and other proponents of the “jurisdictional allegiance” theory of the original meaning of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment are correct, then President Trump does have the power to change the practice by executive order. The […]
Howard Schultz may be thinking about a presidential run, as he’s hired the PR firm Edelman — and, specifically, Steve Schmidt — who helped manage the strategy of the presidential campaign of John McCain.
