ANALYSIS – As a former Marine Corps officer and military attaché who served at several embassies overseas in the 1990s, it has infuriated me to see partisans and ideologues impose their radical agendas on our foreign embassies during Joe Biden’s tenure at the White House. Flying extremely divisive, and to many host countries, offensive, flags representing controversial sexual agendas (LGBTQ+), which includes the extreme ‘trans’ movement, and private groups which espouse hate toward one race and law enforcement (Black Lives Matter – BLM), has been an egregious abuse pushed hard by the Biden State Department since last year. Our embassies…

ANALYSIS – Earlier, I wrote about the nearly one dozen highly classified intelligence documents found in November in the closet of a private office used by Joe Biden after he left the White House as vice president for President Obama. The office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., was used by the then ex-VP in relation to his almost nonexistent role as an honorary professor. Of course, the establishment news media has done all it can to minimize the fallout and downplay the severity of Biden’s reckless actions. But as I noted, some of the documents found in that closet were…

ANALYSIS – BREAKING NEWS! – Brazil just suffered an attempted coup, an attempt to overthrow the government, an insurrection! Brazil’s democracy is now at risk due to the storming of its most sacred political spaces by enraged right-wing extremists. Wait, that sounds familiar. Oh yes. It’s a repeat of the Democrat’s January 6 Capitol Riot ‘insurrection’ narrative but repackaged for Brazil. What really happened? Newly-elected socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has pledged to bring dastardly right-wing rioters to justice after they swarmed several government buildings in Brazil’s federal capital, Brasília, on January 8. Like their counterparts in the…

Say It Isn’t So, Joe… ANALYSIS – In what must be one of the most ironic twists of news, in a world full of twisted news, Joe Biden appears to have taken home highly classified intelligence memos and documents during his time as vice president. Or, worse, took them to a private, unsecured D.C. office he used occasionally after leaving the White House. CNN reported that Rep. James Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, said he plans to “press the National Archives for information about the classified documents removed by Joe Biden during his time as VP. He said he would…

ANALYSIS – Previously, I wrote about why we should be preparing for a collapse of Russia, especially if the Ukraine war ends in defeat for Vladimir Putin. Russia has always been held together by raw power and repression internally and military expansion externally. And now, with a war in Ukraine (against all of NATO by proxy) that it will find extremely difficult to win, a collapse of Russia should be considered increasingly possible, if not actually likely. This is something our strategic planners should be focusing much more attention on. And I would argue, perhaps we should all be looking at ways…

ANALYSIS – As far back as the tsars, Russian leaders have long worried about the ability of their nation to survive. For centuries they believed Russia needed to expand or die. This fear only grew with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the loss of Russia’s buffer colonies in Eastern Europe and the peeling away of what were once considered integral parts of the Russian empire, such as Ukraine, the ‘Stans,’ in central Asia, et al. Yet, Russia, at least most of ‘core’ Russia, has survived. Until now. Today we see that Vladimir Putin, for all his concerns about…
