In the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora! Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto famously said, after he directed the Japanese naval attack on Pearl Harbor, “I’m afraid we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.” While there is no evidence that Yamamoto ever actually spoke these words in real life, they remain […]

It’s been more than 60 years since Ronald Reagan’s famous speech about freedom never being more than one generation away from extinction. I thought about Reagan’s words this morning after witnessing yesterday’s miracle that saw Donald Trump, determined Republican operatives, and millions of fed-up voters succeed in slowing the momentum of the Dems’ determination to […]

C.S. Lewis was an intellectual giant who found joy in God when he became a Christian in 1931, at age 33. If you read any of Lewis’ works, especially his 1955 classic, Surprised by Joy, it will stir every neuron in your brain. Lewis explained joy in the simplest but most profound way when he […]

With his calm, cool, articulate performance in the vice-presidential debate, JD Vance stunned those who had bought into the Dems’ childish narrative that he was weird. This may have been the first vice-presidential debate in history to make a difference in how people vote, because with Donald Trump being a 78-year-old moving target — literally […]

Legendary Austrian economist/philosopher Friedrich Hayek was on target when he said, “In government, the scum rises to the top.” Government makes it possible for some of the worst human beings on the planet to wield the most power. It’s so consistently true that it can’t be dismissed as mere coincidence. Take, for example, what Democrats […]

Attention Republicans: Stop trying to prove Kamala was anointed border czar in 2021. Yes, of course she was, but it doesn’t matter. Kamala’s official title was, and is, vice president of the United States, so she’s jointly responsible, along with Joe Biden, not only for the border crisis, but for the near-destruction of America via […]

In January 2022, I said, “Anyone with an IQ above 60 realizes that the chances of Biden running again are zero.” I followed that up in January 2023 when I wrote, “My best guess is that the Dems will allow Joe to continue being the make-believe president for as long as possible to avoid the […]
