    Rare Roman legionary helmet sparks international debate over cultural heritage and illicit antiquities tradeA rare Roman legionary helmet of extraordinary historical significance, reportedly unearthed near the ancient city of Sirmium in northern Serbia, has appeared for sale on a private online auction in the United States—under circumstances that Serbian experts describe as deeply suspicious.The bronze helmet, a well-preserved Weisenau-type or “Imperial-Gallic” model dating from the 2nd century A.D., features an extended neck guard and elaborately decorated hinged cheekpieces designed to balance protection and mobility. What makes it truly unique is a punched inscription on the neck guard: “APPIVS°LEG°IIII°FL,” identifying it...

    And now for something completely different. I have something very different and very exciting today, which I hope you will enjoy. Dr. Sean McMeekin is a name that readers may recognize from his regular appearance in my recommended reading segments at the ends of our regular history pieces. Dr McMeekin is a prolific author of what I like to call “muscular history”, particular the wars and revolutions of the early 20th Century. A Professor of European History and Culture at Bard College, Dr. McMeekin is the author, among other works, of The Russian Origins of the First World War, July...

    History is not indoctrination — or is it? How many people know that the scriptures were cited by our founders more than Locke, Montesquieu, and Blackstone combined? Students learn that James Madison is the father of the Constitution, but do they know that he would likely have failed unless he had promised a bill of rights to Pastor John Leland? Does today’s generation realized that the pilgrims were literally a church plant and that the Mayflower Compact was modeled after a church covenant? It's more likely they believe that America was formed under secular influences with just a tiny tip...

    Illegal crossings along the US-Mexico border plummeted to a 55-year low in fiscal year 2025 – with the vast majority of unlawful attempts to enter the country taking place during the final months of the Biden administration. Federal authorities apprehended a total of 237,565 migrants along the southwest border during the period between Oct. 1, 2024 and Sept. 30, 2025, according to data released Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The figure is the lowest fiscal year total for apprehensions since 1970, when authorities caught 201,780 migrants attempting to cross the...

    Russia’s war on Ukraine is a war on speed and scale: cheap drones by the hundreds; cruise and ballistic missiles by the scores; electronic warfare (EW) whose logic can mutate on quarterly cycles. That is the fight NATO must be ready for—not an elegant, unhurried campaign of exquisite platforms, but a drone-and-missile war where software changes faster than doctrine, where ammunition depth decides what survives.
  • The Air Force’s B-52H Stratofortress Might Be The Best Bomber Ever to Fly

    National Security Journal ^ | 10/3/2025 | Harry J. Kazianis
    When I stood under the bomb bay of a retired B-52 bomber at the U.S. Air Force Museum this summer, I quickly understood why some consider this bomber the best to fly. Longevity means you earn a place in the record books and get to claim that crown. You don’t keep an airplane flying for six decades by accident. The B-52H Stratofortress didn’t just outlast its stablemates; it became the most complete version of the BUFF idea—long legs, big payload, and the electronics to make both matter in the 21st century.

    Confession in all three branches of the Christian Church includes both sins of commission and omission. Acts violating God’s commands are confessed as sins of commission. Sins of omission are committed by failing to perform an action one ought to do. Whether one belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern or Greek Orthodox Church, or any Protestant Church, both sins are confessed corporately and individually. As such, any and all wrongdoing is covered in most liturgical confessions. Judaism also recognizes sins of commission and omission. The above represents a sound, healthy, and just system of acknowledging, dealing with, and...

    A Tennessee State University professor has been fired after a video surfaced that showed him screaming at a student and telling him to leave after he failed his course, the school says. History professor Robert Evins Pickard was recorded shouting in the students face before expelling him from the classroom. In the video, which has gone viral on various social media platforms, Pickard can be heard screaming 'What is your name?' at the student. He then shouts 'Get out! You have failed this course, whatever your name is! Out! Out!' The University said in a statement on Tuesday that Pickard...

    Archaeologists found a 1,600-year-old coin hoard dating to the final Jewish revolt against Romans.Archaeologists have unearthed a rare hoard of 1,600-year-old copper coins in Galilee, and the coins may have been stashed there during the last known Jewish revolt against the Romans. Researchers found the 22 copper coins in a crevice within a tunnel complex deep underneath a settlement known as Hukok. The tunnels were used by Jews as a hiding place in two early rebellions against the Romans: the Great Revolt (A.D. 66 to 70) and the Bar-Kochba (also spelled Bar-Kokhba) Revolt (A.D. 132 to 135). However, the newfound...

    Generational power dynamics are why we’re in this position. I’m a late Gen-Xer. By some accounting, I’m an early Gen Y/Millenial. I refuse to be lumped into that group of individuals, personally, but that’s not why I’m writing this. Growing up, our parents pressed us to reach for our dreams. I think every good parent would want that for their kids, but I believe every generation’s motivations for that message are different. The Greatest Generation wanted their kids to not repeat the mistakes of the world at the turn of the 20th century. So many died for freedom, and the...

    Has America been a force for good or for evil? Why are some podcasters suggesting that the U.S. should have sided with Hitler’s Germany over Churchill’s UK and Stalin’s USSR during World War II? Was dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki a moral failure — or a necessary act to end the war? And does the Constitution really prohibit displaying the Ten Commandments in schools and government buildings? PragerU CEO ‪@realtalkwithmarissa‬ invites historians David and Tim Barton for an in-depth discussion. David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, is the author of over 20 books on American history and has...

    The crowds were phenomenal. Pews always filled to capacity on Easter, but no one had ever seen anything like April 16, 1865… Shot on Good Friday and dead on Saturday: The timing of the assassination made Easter Sunday 1865 a particularly important—and confusing—occasion, as shocked mourners came to church for what should have been a day of rejoicing over both the resurrection of Christ and military victory. The reversal of fortunes was manifested materially, as churchwomen rearranged the colorful springtime displays they had readied. Easter decoration had become something of a commercial enterprise by the mid nineteenth century…As a congregant...

    I want to front load this post by making something abundantly clear. I am not complaining about my channel nor am I feeling sorry for myself. If you leave this post with that impression, that is something that you have projected onto me. There is a broader point that I am trying to make with this post. This is a graph showing my daily subscriber count. Yesterday, I posted a video with some thoughts on the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. On the graph, you can see that the result (which I kind of expected) was a mass exodus of...
