In my lifetime I've seen a lot of betrayals come out of Washington DC. It may be the only net export of that city on the Potomac. But last week may prove to be the worst, and most devastating for our national health. A war powers resolution to end the war with Iran—started in tandem on February 28 by the United State (without congressional approval) and Israel—narrowly failed in both houses. It was practically a partisan affair; 53-47 in the U.S. Senate and 219-212 in the U.S. House, with crossover you could count on one hand. Do not interpret this as positive assent for the war which the...

Two weeks ago, I was invited for another interview with Libertarian Institute Director Scott Horton, who's still fresh off his extended, three hour appearance with Tucker Carlson. In the closing minutes of his presentation on America's Middle East wars, Scott gave the Defend the Guard movement the biggest media hit in its history.

I encourage you to listen to the full...

I believe one of the biggest political stories of the year is the attempted resurrection of the Cheney legacy. This is a family whose political prospects were dead and buried in 2022—in no small part from the contributing efforts of Bring Our Troops Home.

From the national debates to local meet and greets, Vice President Harris and Tim Walz are thanking Dick Cheney for his support and praising his public service—including the illegal invasion of Iraq,...

Tuesday night was the final debate before the November election, and it was the first time a significant number of Americans were formally introduced to the vice-presidential nominees, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Like me, Vance was a U.S. Marine; there's still some comradery there. (OORAH!) In 2005, Vance deployed to Iraq for six months as a military journalist. He departed right before I began my eighteen-month combat tour in Afghanistan. My deployment was as a member of the Idaho Army National Guard. Walz served in the National Guard for twenty-four years,...
