When an ISIS-inspired terrorist entered an ROTC classroom at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, and killed the instructor, a decorated war hero, most people placed the blame squarely where it belonged—on the individual committing the atrocity. Sure, there is more to blame, like a religious zeal that inspires members to kill anyone who doesn’t agree with them and a so-called “gun-free” zone that left the instructor and students as sitting ducks. Still, it was the individual who made the choice to commit murder and was subsequently killed by students in the class. Of course, liberals don’t think like that.…

Less than a mile and a half from the center of the blast, Mori was thrown into a nearby stream that protected him from the firestorm that followed. “I found myself inside the mushroom cloud,” Mori would later write. “It…
The Pentagon wants $200 billion in order to fund the war it started by bombing Iran in joint attacks with Israel on February 28th. Some political parasites in the ruling class are pushing back against the amount as it exceeds half of Iran’s GDP (gross domestic product).

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. We just witnessed a very pivotal moment in our war with Iran. When Ayatollah Khamenei was still alive, Ali Larijani was essentially running the country. Once Ayatollah Khamenei died and was replaced by his son, Ali Larijani was still essentially running the country. The mass slaughter of protesters during the month of January had his fingerprints all over it, and many believe that he was the primary reason why Iran took such a hard line in negotiations with the United States during the month of…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadAsk anyone about their number one goal when it comes to preparedness, and the answer is almost always the same: protecting family comes first. But getting everyone else in your household on board can sometimes feel impossible. You want to prepare the people you care about for the future, but you often run into doubts, resistance, and the classic eye roll. Many families suffer from normalcy bias. They quietly assume that tomorrow will look exactly like today. Even when you point out the bumps in the road, they simply do not tune in to…
