As a former DIA intelligence officer specializing in Russian war-fighting strategy and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s mindset, I recently had the honor to brief one of the U.S. combatant commands on major security threats to our homeland. This briefing and my interaction with high-ranking officers and their staff prompted me to pen this piece. As...
The gut-wrenching loss of a Ukraine Air Force F-16 chasing Iranian-made drones at low altitude last week is proof positive that Ukraine’s air force is becoming more aggressive and capable.But there’s a sober combat lesson here for the U.S. vs. China.The daily air battles against missiles and drones over Ukraine are only a taste of...
Anytime I hear the hauntingly beautiful song,”Mr. Tanner,” by Harry Chapin, I struggle to keep a dry eye. In it, Martin Tanner is a launderer and baritone with an otherworldly voice. His passion for singing dies when critics cruelly pan his professional debut, crushing his spirit. In August, my eyes welled with tears of another...
Now that the Democratic and Republican national conventions are wrapped up and students are returning to campus, it’s important that we teach our students how to encourage unity with one another. Without it, we will continue to see dissension, unrest and conflict on our campuses and across our nation. It’s easy to point the finger...

On Thursday, in a display of abject shamelessness that I wish I could say was rare, Vice President Kamala Harris and her toadies in the media used the tragedy of a school shooting to lie about JD Vance in close to the most disgusting way possible. The GOP vice presidential nominee was giving remarks about...
Vice President Kamala Harris has just unveiled a proposal that’s as misguided as it is dangerous: capping grocery prices to prevent so-called “price gouging” by large grocery chains. On the surface, it might sound like a noble attempt to shield American consumers from rising costs, but make no mistake — this is a deeply flawed...
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Which is why the Democrats’ tenacious efforts to expand the IRS should be worrisome to every American. This is an agency with a history of nefarious activity and targeting conservatives. This is a political party with a history of lying about it. The staggering $80 billion...
Hidden in the shadows and forgotten: That’s the only way to describe the state of male employment in this country. The percentage of men aged 25-54 who report working at all has fallen from almost 100 in the 1950s to about 90 today. If 90% doesn’t sound so bad, consider that it’s comparable to the...
