Oliver L. North thrashes those who refuse to learn from history → Read More
Last weekend, we celebrated the 8th birthday of one our youngest (of 18) grandchildren. For all of us, "family events" like these offer an opportunity to reflect on the future of our progeny. President Ronald Reagan (having borrowed the phrase from John Winthrop) often described our nation thus: "America is a shining city upon a… → Read More
Scorecards matter. Sunday's Super Bowl 38-35 victory by the Chiefs over the Eagles gave Kansas City bragging rights over Philadelphia as NFL champions. Today's headlines could also read, "Raptors 5+, Chinese Communist balloons 0." Back in 1990, when Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, nearly 700,000 American soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen and Marines were dispatched… → Read More
Last week's column noted: "Our armed forces are woefully unprepared to deter war and therefore make war more likely." It concluded the mission for the 222 Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives is to enhance national security. This week, we have evidence why both statements are correct. By words and actions, the Biden administration… → Read More
Last week's column posited the No. 1 mission of the 118th Congress must be protecting U.S. national security and suggested five areas requiring urgent attention: – An existential threat posed by tyrannical despots with nuclear weapons. – The multimillion-person invasion across our nonexistent southern border and the deadly Communist Chinese fentanyl that has already killed… → Read More
Last week, we learned classified documents have been found in various places where President Joe Biden "inadvertently," "unintentionally" or "mistakenly" "stored" or "misplaced" them. All those verbs and adverbs have been used in the ensuing media circus. Though the quantity, contents, subjects, titles or actual classification levels of these documents has yet to be released,… → Read More
My thanks to faithful readers – pro and con – for reminding me I am not a prophet. In last week's column, I predicted our new Congress would have a new speaker of the House and a "sworn-in" Republican majority in the House of Representatives by Jan. 3. Oops! It took an unprecedented 15 ballots… → Read More
Today, the new U.S. Congress is sworn in. Welcome, especially to those new to Washington. As a reminder to my readers and charge to our elected representatives, here is the oath you will take: "I, (name here), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against… → Read More
The title of this column may seem counterintuitive to my faithful readers considering the disappointments we've endured through 2022. Despite efforts to diligently chronicle events and proffer advice to America's civil and national security leadership, few glimmers of goodness emerged. However, let us never forget we serve the Sovereign of all who loves us, and… → Read More
We look forward to Christmas because it means a break from the normal routine of life that can be stressful. It's a time for families, friends and fellowship. It's festive and, when in the right perspective, joyous. However, tens of thousands of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen and Marines won't be home for Christmas celebrations.… → Read More
At a time when it's hard to imagine how things in America can get worse, it seems President Joe Biden is on a crusade to drive our nation into the abyss. We learned Thursday Women's National Basketball Association player Brittney Griner was released from a Russian prison after being arrested 10 months ago on drug… → Read More
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6, 2022 – Eighty-one years ago today, Commander Mitsuo Fuchida was preparing to lead an airborne strike force of 49 "Kate" bombers, 40 torpedo bombers, 51 "Val" dive-bombers and 43 "Zeke" fighters on the first wave of an assault on Pearl Harbor. At 0854 that terrible Sunday morning, a second wave of 167… → Read More
