Commentary The line must be drawn here! As a military veteran, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That oath wasn’t just about protecting borders or fighting wars. It was about preserving the principles that make this country a beacon of democracy and justice. It
Commentary The military purge continues... Donald Trump’s recent spree of military firings is unprecedented in scope and intent, shaking the very foundations of the apolitical nature of the U.S. armed forces. Since January 20, 2025, Trump has dismissed 12 senior military leaders, citing reasons ranging from "loss of confidence" to opposition
Commentary Maher's Trump Dinner: Normalizing Authoritarianism Before I even start, I admit to making a cardinal mistake in debate strategy. I'm going to invoke Hitler and the Nazis. Yeah, that's generally a sign that you're about to go off the deep end and lose your audience. Nevertheless, indulge me for
Commentary Kleptocracy: An Example The word "kleptocracy" comes from the Greek words "kleptein," meaning "to steal," and "kratos," meaning "power."
Commentary Trump is curing the disease by killing the patient. I’ve seen firsthand how trickle-down economics can screw people over. When Reagan introduced those policies in the 1980s, my family struggled. The idea that cutting taxes for the rich would magically benefit everyone else was a load of crap. It just made the rich richer and left the rest
Commentary Just like Stalin! Donald Trump’s administration is gutting the U.S. military leadership with a reckless purge of top officers, leaving national security in shambles. Since returning to office, Trump has fired a staggering number of high-ranking officials, including Air Force General Charles Q. Brown Jr., the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs

Commentary My Quasi-religious rant for a quiet Sunday afternoon For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we
News This isn't a joke and it's not a drill. Let me start by saying this loud and clear: the idea of annexing Canada, Greenland, and reclaiming the Panama Canal is not just absurd—it’s dangerous, reckless, and downright idiotic. As a military veteran who served this country with pride, I know what it means to defend America’s
Commentary Adding Insult to Injury: Trump’s Disrespect for Fallen Soldiers As if the Trump administration’s decision to end the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase Program (VASP) wasn’t enough of a slap in the face, now we’re hearing that Trump won’t even bother to show up for the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died in a
News A SYSTEM DOMINATED BY WEALTH (Shared from ACLU, email) The power of a democracy lies in its people, yet our current election system is increasingly dominated by the wealthy elite and special interest groups. This reality undermines the principle of government by the people, for the people, and threatens to erode public trust in our democratic institutions. But the
Commentary The Trump Administration: Where Clowns Run the Show (Literally) The Trump administration’s recent purge of National Security Council officials is a clusterfuck that shows how unqualified individuals like Laura Loomer are calling the shots on national security. Loomer, a far-right activist with zero military experience, got an audience with President Trump and handed him a hit list of
Commentary Secretary Whiskey Leaks SECDEF “Whiskey Leaks,” bottle in hand, Spilling out secrets like loose grains of sand. A fool with a phone, a pawn in the game, Too damn dense to feel the shame. Hegseth, a hack, fraud poorly disguised, Draped in the flag while peddling lies. Talks like a soldier, acts like
Commentary It's Groundhog's Day....again. Here we go again! Writing about Mike Waltz’s cybersecurity disasters feels like I’m caught in my own personal Groundhog Day. Except instead of Bill Murray fumbling through Punxsutawney, it’s Waltz fumbling through the basics of Operations Security (OPSEC).
Commentary Trump’s proposed cuts to the VA are a moral failure. The sheer audacity of Donald Trump and his cronies in the Republican Party to slash funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is nothing short of a betrayal of those who have served this country. Let’s not avoid the subject —these cuts are a disgusting slap in the
Commentary It’s not just whiskey that’s leaking, people. The recent revelations about National Security Adviser Mike Waltz's use of Gmail for government-related communications are part of a disturbing pattern of security lapses within the administration. According to reports from Axios and Fox News, Waltz and his staff have used personal Gmail accounts for official business, including
Commentary The Signal Security Breach Case is NOT closed! At the risk of virtue signaling; I’m a vet, been around the block a few times, and I know a thing or two about OPSEC. This Signal leak business with Trump’s crew? It’s a joke. They’re saying it’s closed, but as any indications and warnings
Commentary It’s Only a Ponzi Scheme If Elon Takes It From Us Elon Musk’s relentless political meddling isn’t just exhausting—it’s dangerous. For years, he’s masqueraded as a visionary while quietly bankrolling agendas that serve his ego and power rather than the public good he claims to care about. His latest stunt—a desperate telephone rally held on
Commentary If you can’t take the heat, get your orange snowflake ass out of the kitchen. Donald Trump’s latest meltdown is a masterclass in logical fallacies and weak deflection tactics, but let’s start with the most obvious: his reliance on ad hominem attacks. He doesn’t engage with the actual content of the Signal story or Kristen Welker’s reporting. Instead, he resorts to
Commentary The Deafening Hypocrisy of Veterans on Hegseth’s OPSEC Scandal and the American Legion’s Whiplash Let’s not mince words: the veterans’ community, which has historically been quick to scream bloody murder over any perceived OPSEC violation, is now either dead silent or bending over backward to excuse Pete Hegseth’s reckless behavior. Remember when Hillary Clinton’s emails were supposedly the greatest threat to
Commentary RFK Jr. is controversial (aka crazy AF) Let's delve into the whirlwind of controversies surrounding Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a man whose actions have sparked debates across the political spectrum. From his beginnings as an environmentalist to his current role in the Trump administration, RFK Jr. has been no stranger to controversy. First, his stance
Commentary A Loyal Veteran's Outrage: The Unfit Leadership of Pete Hegseth As a veteran who has served my country with honor and integrity, I am appalled by the latest news surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. His egregious lack of experience, combined with his recent operational security (OPSEC) breaches (at least 2 known!), have sealed his fate as a public servant. Hegseth&
Commentary Creating unnecessary barriers for voting This may seem straightforward at first glance but carries significant implications: requiring passports for voter registration. While the intention might be to enhance security, the reality is that such a policy could create barriers for millions of eligible voters. First, let’s consider accessibility. Not everyone has a passport. In
Commentary Signal use for Goverment communications The use of Signal by government officials for classified communications is indeed a cause for concern. While Signal is a widely respected encrypted messaging app, it is not designed for handling classified or sensitive government information. Its use in such cases exposes several troubling risks: 1.
