Less than two weeks ago a devastating wildfire engulfed the Hawaiian island of Maui, particularly the historic city of Lahaina. Over one hundred people are confirmed dead, and more than a thousand are still missing. Blackened earth and soot scar what was once a beautiful and tropical paradise. Error has compounded error in disaster response, with people on the ground still unable to return and discover what remains of their homes. A lack of transparency, and the stonewalling of outside observers has led to appropriate suspicion about how high the blame goes. I’ll let former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi...
Biden’s Nazi Allies
When you decide to donate money to charities or non-profits, I trust that you do some investigation to determine whether they deserve the money. Does X charity give more money to people, or their leadership? Does Y organization have anything to show for their efforts or are they just talk? For instance, I can show you two dozen bill numbers for Defend the Guard legislation, video after video of committee hearings and veteran testimony, and unprecedented wins in Arizona and Montana—all in just the past six months, and all of it accomplished by my non-profit, Bring Our Troops Home. I'm sure...
What’s Our Best Bet in 2024?
Did you see what Donald Trump said about Ukraine? At a CNN town hall on Wednesday evening, the former president and current candidate announced: “If I’m president, I will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours. I’ll meet with Putin, I’ll meet with Zelensky, they both have weaknesses and they both have strengths, and within 24 hours that war will be settled. It’ll be over…I don’t think in terms of winning or losing. I think in terms of getting it settled so we stop killing all these people and breaking them.” When CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins asked Trump if he wanted Ukraine or Russia to...
‘Defend the Guard’ Receives Outstanding Committee Hearing in New Hampshire
"I didn't know a lot about the Guard problem until I got involved in this, and the folks from Bring Our Troops Home sent me this very, extremely informative booklet on defending the Guard. And it's now called the Defend the Guard bill." That’s how State Rep. John Potucek, a ret. U.S. Air Force staff sergeant and Vietnam veteran, introduced H.B. 229 at a hearing in front of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. The Defend the Guard Act would keep our National Guard out of unconstitutional wars and restore accountability over war and peace to our government. We’re grateful for the...
Will the War Party Wield the Speaker’s Gavel?
We’re witnessing a fascinating thing: Congress is actually debating and voting on something. Remarkable! For the first time in a century—and only the second time since the Civil War—the vote for the next Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives has entered multiple ballots. To replace Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have put forward Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, a walk-the-line party man. Jeffries has supported curtailing the war on Yemen and has cautiously questioned the the American military occupation of Syria. But he’s a reliable yes-man for every Pentagon budget, and he’s committed...
Capitol Hill Retreat: Strategy After Yemen Resolution Failure
What was widely expected to happen, did happen. Last Tuesday, under pressure from the Biden White House, Senator Bernie Sanders formally withdrew his War Powers resolution to end U.S. participation in the war on Yemen. American logistical support for the Saudi Arabian’s starvation campaign against the poorest country in the Middle East will continue, and the temporary cessation of large scale military engagement has lost its safety net. Should we have expected anything less from the man who buckled and endorsed both Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden for president? I believe in ending all U.S....
Your One Phone Call Could End the World’s Worst War
There’s action on Capitol Hill you ought to know about: a brief opportunity, and a long disappointment. Most importantly, there is a joint resolution set to hit the floor of Congress this week that would end U.S. involvement in the war on Yemen. If you don’t recall, this is a war Barack Obama started in 2015 to placate the Saudi Arabian despotism. Since then, we’ve been giving weapons, information, and labor to the Saudi war effort as they pummel the poorest country in the Middle East into a mass grave. Washington DC has even forced U.S. special operations to form tactical alliances with Al...
NATO Doesn’t Supersede the U.S. Constitution
As our government continues to bumble and stumble at full speed towards World War III, the concept of tripwires and the legal authority of Article 5 become required understanding for the vigilant citizen. Last week the American people received the then-breaking news that a missile had landed in Poland and killed two people. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said that this was a purposeful act of war by Russia, and that the West must respond with full kinetic retaliation. He was joined by his amen corner here in the United States, that group of politicians, regime journalists, and paid...
