This Is What ‘Winning’ Looks Like
COMMON SENSE: With the inclusion of Venezuela’s 65 billion barrels of oil, which we have control over for the next quarter century, the end-game of one of President Trump’s foreign policy objectives is clear. To begin with, this is a firm repudiation of the New World Order. Trump’s objectives are antithetical to what is desired…
Read MoreOur Strategy to Defeat Iran
COMMON SENSE: In their objection to the war with Iran, the Democrats and the media repeatedly assert that there is no strategy behind it. They maintain that our efforts have been poorly throughout and are ineffective, but is this true? I don’t believe that it is. In fact, I’m convinced it is just the opposite.…
Read MoreA Letter to President Donald J. Trump
This is not going to be one of my usual articles. However, I have felt led to write it, and the burden of it has remained with me for quite some time. Every time I considered sitting down to begin, the familiar thoughts came. No one important is going to read this. The editors…
Read MoreNeutralizing Pickaxe Mountain
COMMON SENSE: Many, including the New York Times, believe that President Trump’s cessation of hostilities means he is winding down military operations in Iran. Perhaps this is true, but I doubt it. Instead, I suspect he is giving our military a much-needed day or two off before launching a massive new round of aggression. There are…
Read MoreFauci’s Disgrace Has Been Revealed for All to See
COMMON SENSE: Anthony Fauci, M.D., swore an oath to tell the truth, but he didn’t do it, did he? No, he did not. Instead, he invoked the Fifth Amendment to protect himself against self-incrimination. He refused to answer every question, even though he received a Presidential Pardon from prosecution, issued by President Joe Biden. The…
Read MoreHere’s the Truth about the Iran War
COMMON SENSE: The idea that Iran has come out the winner in the negotiations is absolute nonsense. Because of Operation Epic Fury, which has been devastating, Iran is close to being a failed state. When you think of the military conditions inside of their nation, although Tehran has been spared, where their defense system is…
Read MoreThe Trump Administration’s End Goal for Iran
COMMON SENSE: It’s time to take a deeper look at the big picture about what is really happening in the Middle East. Hopefully, by doing so, you will gain a better grasp of the strategic goal of U.S. foreign policy, especially where Iran is concerned. On the surface, denying them the ability to gain nuclear…
Read MoreAmerica, Let’s Keep It Together People
This past 4th of July, our nation celebrated the 250 th anniversary of the weighty decision to declare our independence from the tyranny of the British empire. While July 2nd could be recognized as the real Independence Day, as that was when the Continental Congress voted for it. Or August 2nd, the day when the…
Read MoreThe War with Iran Has Been Worth It. Here’s Why.
COMMON SENSE: The United States and Iran have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), ending the hostilities in Iran and the Persian Gulf. The MOU is the first step toward a lasting peace but, just because the Iranians have signed on the dotted line does not necessarily mean they intend to keep their word. All…
Read MoreWhy I am a Conservative—Part 1
COMMON SENSE: Reared Irish-Catholic in the suburbs of Boston, with JFK being my hero, I was destined to be a lifelong Democrat. As a child, I loved being an American and was never ashamed of who we were. Never even considering such a thing, I embraced a Liberal worldview, with the lifestyle of a libertine.…
