ANALYSIS – Even with the decline in respect for the U.S. military due to extreme ‘wokeness’ and other issues, Americans still hold military service in high regard. This is especially true when it comes to those running for office. Having served is a powerful bona fide for both Republican and Democrat candidates. It was certainly important to my campaigns for the U.S. Congress and for Florida statehouse. When I ran as an anti-establishment GOP candidate, my motto was: ‘the Marine vs the Machine.’ It’s no surprise then that lying about your military service is also a powerful temptation, not just…

ANALYSIS – Despite dutifully covering for Team Biden since before Joe was elected, the outrageous chaos at the U.S.-Mexico border is becoming harder for the establishment media to ignore. We are again witnessing mobs of foreigners amassing at the border and fighting to force their way across. Biden’s border crisis is also producing vivid images of illegal migrant mobs clashing with U.S. border agents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWCSBrYTBEI The latest example includes a video of a mob of Venezuelan nationals trying to storm across the border lined with Border Patrol officers.

In a very strange tale, Rolling Stone recently reported that an acclaimed military journalist who has exposed shocking military cover-ups, friendly fire deaths and foiled terror plots disappeared after his home was raided by the FBI in April. (RELATED: US Special Ops Choose New Personal Defense Weapon) The magazine cited “sources familiar with the matter” as saying that the ABC producer James Gordon Meek was found with classified material on his laptop by the team of heavily armed FBI agents who appeared at his high-end penthouse apartment in Virginia. But this made no sense to friends and outside observers who noted…

REPORT – With Russia escalating its nuclear war rhetoric over Ukraine in recent weeks, former British Prime Minister Liz Truss was taking the nuke threat seriously. She was especially concerned over intelligence warnings that Vladimir Putin might detonate a nuclear weapon in the air above the Black Sea. This explosion would be a show of force to the West without triggering a full-scale nuclear exchange. Intelligence officials warned that Putin might ‘go nuclear’ after Ukrainian forces blew up the bridge connecting Russia and Crimea, something Putin had said would ‘cross a red line’ and prompt ‘judgment day.’ (RELATED: Foreign Leader Facing Imminent…

ANALYSIS – The stakes continue to grow for Joe Biden as more evidence is discovered about his son Hunter’s damning ties to Communist China. While the establishment media is slowly coming around to the veracity of the information on Hunter’s laptop, they continue to downplay the more severe implications of his links to Chinese intelligence. Thankfully, Republican lawmakers and former White House officials remain dogged in their pursuit of the truth. As part of this effort, House Republicans last week released evidence on how the president’s son’s former business partner was connected to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). And former Acting…

ANALYSIS – Elon Musk has been in the news quite a bit recently, not least of which for his purchase of Twitter and his firing of the leftist social media giant’s two top executives.
