The Near Loss of Posse Comitatus

The idea of tanks rolling down my streets and armed soldiers knocking on my door trying to ask me questions about possible terrorist cells really leaves a sour feeling in my stomach. More so, the idea that our previous President had considered sending the military in to handle police action at the firm suggestion of [...]

The Israeli Option Against Iran

Israel has, since its independence, been very easy to pull the trigger and launch attacks to guarantee that its sovereignty was still kept safe. In this day and age, Israel has made it clear that the biggest threat to that sovereignty is Iran. With that in mind, it is of no surprise to anyone that [...]

I had a very harrowing experience last night while writing a draft for today’s article.  The article was meant to be, just in time for Independence Day, a personal declaration of independence from the mindset of expansive government that has slowly but surely trampled the rights of American patriots since the Civil War and beyond.  [...]
