On Not Just Afghanistan, Biden Chooses Decline

In November 2009, the late Charles Krauthammer gave a seminal speech, titled “Decline Is a Choice.” In it, Krauthammer stated, “The question of whether America is in decline cannot be answered yes or no.

Star Trek Actor Says Religious Americans ‘as Fanatical’ as the Taliban

As we approach the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks it is interesting to look back and see how American culture has changed in that two-decade time span. Back then mainstream culture (sorta) rallied around God and country against our enemy, the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Judge Rules That Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy Must Stay

Despite the Biden administration’s best efforts to turn our southern border into the most welcoming, easy-access gateway in the world – where 2 million unvetted and mostly unvaxxed illegal migrants are set to move through by the end of this year alone – one federal judge won’t let Biden get away with it.
