ANALYSIS – The bombshell testimony by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson has been reverberating throughout the news cycle. The statements by Hutchinson, an assistant to Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows about the former president’s words and actions on Jan. 6 have certainly been salacious and disconcerting. (RELATED: Fmr Meadows Aide Makes Never-Before-Heard Claims Before Jan. 6 Committee) Some of them like the tidbit that Trump reportedly threw his lunch at the wall of the West Wing dining room, angry over former Attorney General William Barr’s interview with the Associated Press, are amusing, but benign. I recall lots of stories of…

Back in the 1990s when the B-2 Spirit bomber was still not fully deployed I wrote one of my first published pieces, a letter to the editor at The Washington Post. There I argued that considering the demise of the Soviet Union, and lack of other near-term nuclear threats, the U.S. Air Force should consider buying a fleet of militarized 747 aircraft armed with dozens of nuclear-tipped AGM-86 air-launched cruise missiles (ALCMs), instead of the obscenely expensive stealth B-2. These aircraft would not need to penetrate heavily contested enemy airspace but could fire their weapons from a safe stand-off distance. Clearly, my…

OPINION – After Texas police found over 50 dead illegal migrants in or near a tractor-trailer on the outskirts of San Antonio, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott blamed the horrific mass deaths on President Joe Biden’s “deadly open border policies” and “refusal to enforce the law.” (RELATED: Biden’s Border Crisis Kills 46) These deaths are on Biden. They are a result of his deadly open border policies. They show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law. https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1541596214705135617 And he is 100% correct. It is Biden and ‘Immigration Czar’ VP Kamala Harris’ fault. And so are the deaths of hundreds more. The…
ANALYSIS – As I wrote about yesterday, a courageous former Green Beret turned Army chaplain provoked a backlash from the woke Army when he sent a brigade all-hands email praising the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. (RELATED: Florida Governor Goes to War Against ‘Radical Vigilante Woke Mob’) First, a couple of woke colonels in the chaplain’s command virtue signaled by complaining about the chaplain’s email, and now the Army is conducting a command inquiry into the chaplain’s religious missive. It should tread lightly. Maj. Brian T. Hargis is a chaplain observer coach/trainer assigned to First Army at Camp Atterbury,…

ANALYSIS – When parody becomes reality – On June 24, The Babylon Bee, a conservative Christian satire site, posted a piece titled – “Dems Pause January 6 Hearings To Call For Insurrection.” That funny satire refers to the absurdity of Democrats in Congress pausing their one-sided Salem witch trial against former President Donald Trump for allegedly inciting an insurrection against Congress, to incite their own violent insurrection against the Supreme Court. It starts: Democrats have temporarily pushed pause on the January 6th hearings in order to lead an insurrection against the federal government.”On January 6th, a branch of our federal government was…
OPINION – I’m with him. On Friday, former Green Beret, now Army Chaplain Maj. Brian T. Hargis, the brigade chaplain for the 157th Infantry Brigade sent an email to the Army Reserve unit’s “ALL USERS” inbox celebrating the end of Roe v. Wade and the “murder of millions of people.” In his email, according to Task & Purpose, Hargis, who served as a Green Beret for over a decade before becoming a chaplain in 2007, wrote: This is a monumental victory of the highest spiritual context, as it upholds the sanctity of life of the unborn, honors the US Constitution, makes right the…
