  • Conservatives Need to Reclaim FDR

    Aaron Renn Substack ^ | September 24, 2024 | Aaron Renn
    There was a kerfuffle a couple weeks ago involving criticism of Winston Churchill as a leader. I find it strange the way that conservative Americans treat Churchill as if he were one of the greatest American leaders, as the third in the sequence after Washington and Lincoln. I’m not the only person who’s noticed this. The academic Tanner Greer said, “The boomercon historical pantheon of heroes is something like this: Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln. Your pick among Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton.” Without taking anything away from Churchill, this is...
  • Don’t Yank the Sage From His Stage. Postmodern teaching fads are compromising student learning.

    James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | August 8, 2025 | David C. Phillips
    “In most college classrooms,” wrote Alison King in a seminal 1993 article, “the professor lectures and the students listen and take notes. The professor is the central figure, the ‘sage on the stage,’ the one who has the knowledge and transmits that knowledge to the students. […] In this view of teaching and learning,” King argued, “students are passive learners rather than active ones.” And, she continued, “such a view is outdated and will not be effective for the twenty-first century.” Instead of the transmittal theory described above, King championed a constructivist theory of learning according to which “knowledge [is]...

    Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson presided over the Wolfe case. Yes, the same Ketanji Brown-Jackson who was installed on the Supreme Court via a lengthy operation during the Biden administration {GO DEEP}. There is no statute of limitations against leaking Top Secret Compartmented Intelligence. Immunize James Wolfe. Immunize Ali Watkins. Question FBI Supervisory Special Agent Brian Dugan as a witness. Question former USAO Jessie Liu as a witness. Question former SSCI Chairman Richard Burr. Target SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner This one also nets the Robert Mueller special counsel because ultimately FBI SSA Dugan had to run the evidence through the Russiagate stakeholders,...

    VIDEODemocrats, such as Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy love to lecture about the EVILS of Gerrymandering. Meanwhile they piously ignore the OBVIOUS about how their own states, such as Connecticut with ALL FIVE congressional districts conveniently BLUE, are Gerrymandered. Keep this in mind while watching Murphy deliver his sanctimonious lecture on the subject of Gerrymandering.
  • Why the U.S. Air Force Needs 300 (Or More) B-21 Raider Stealth Bombers

    National Security Journal ^ | 8/8/2025 | Andrew Latham
    The U.S. Air Force’s plan to procure “at least 100” B-21 Raider stealth bombers is dangerously insufficient for an era of simultaneous great-power competition with Russia and China. Credible deterrent and the ability to fight a protracted, two-theater war requires a much larger fleet, in the range of 200 to 400 aircraft.

    Remember that infamous Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch meeting where they met on a tarmac and held up air traffic so they could chat inside one of the planes?

  • The dam is breaking on Britain’s illegal immigration crisis — and the results could be ugly

    New York Post ^ | August 5, 2025 | Glenn H. Reynolds
    Britain’s Labour government is in trouble: Its program of massive third-world immigration from places like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly, overwhelmingly unpopular. But that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that despite the best efforts of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his leftist captive media, Britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is. You might think that’s absurd — if mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it? Everyone doesn’t know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration. Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement or — worst of all — immigrant...

    Archive 2/2010 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your FREEDOM to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. Gal 5:13 During the campaign Premier Obortion said, if his daughter made a mistake and got pregnant he didn’t want to punish her w/a baby. Could there be a more heartless way of looking at a baby as not only a mistake but a punishment? This is especially disturbing since he was not only a mistake by a teenage mother, but was very likely a rape which all pro-death advocates say should be...
  • Mark McCloskey Retrieves his AR-15 from St Louis Police

    AmmoLand ^ | August 5, 2025 | Dean Weingarten
    On June 28, 2020, Mark and Patty McCloskey displayed firearms in defense against a BLM mob that had illegally entered their property. The case gained national attention because the radical prosecutor in St. Louis, Kim Gardner, decided to prosecute Mark and Patty. St. Louis police Detective Sgt. Burgdorf found evidence to back up the claim that Mark and Patty acted reasonably. Gardner insisted on prosecuting the McCloskeys. Gardner was eventually removed from the case for a conflict of interest. A special prosecutor was appointed, who had his own problems. The McCloskeys, successful attorneys, decided to cut a plea deal on...
  • Bockscar: We Visited the B-29 Bomber That Dropped The Atomic Bomb On Nagasaki

    National Security Journal ^ | 8/7/2025 | Steve Balestrieri
    Eighty years ago this week, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, forcing the end of World War II. On August 6, 1945, the B-29 Enola Gay dropped the “Little Boy” uranium bomb on Hiroshima, killing up to 166,000 people. Three days later, on August 9, the B-29 Bockscar was diverted from its primary target of Kokura due to bad weather and instead dropped the more powerful “Fat Man” plutonium bomb on the secondary target of Nagasaki, killing up to 80,000 and compelling Japan’s surrender.

    My startling chat with Grok Grok tries to serve Elon Musk, the aggressive censors at X, and me X deleted several of my posts with no explanation. Instead of complaining to X, I contacted Grok and asked why my posts were being vaporized. We communicated for 45 minutes, which resulted in more than 25 pages of single-space copy! People wonder what AI is all about. I can report that Grok does everything super-fast. He (she if you prefer) does not make grammatical or spelling mistakes. Like me, he loves alliteration. Whatever you say, he weaves that into his conversation so...

That would be if following the upcoming meeting between President Trump and Putin (with possible cameo appearance by Zelinsky) the Ukraine War is concluded via a peace agreement. Check out this snarky ABC News report by Raddatz and you can can just smell the HOPIUM exuding from her with such lines as "No real sign this war is ending any time soon." Yeah, because an end of the Ukraine War as a result of the upcoming meeting...

    The DOJ drops the bogus charges against rising GOP star Carolina Amesty and immediately the corrupt MSM accuses Pam Bondi of wrongdoing. We reported a week ago that an up and coming GOP superstar in the Florida House was targeted by the Biden regime’s DOJ and falsely charged of bogus criminal actions only two working days before President Trump’s inauguration. We never thought we would see in our country an Administration (the Biden regime) target its enemies with false charges, pushed by corrupt prosecutors, in corrupt courts. No one was safe. President Trump, his closest associates, his supporters, and everyone...
