Yesterday was Father’s Day, and all over America, the concept of fatherhood was feted. Well, almost everywhere. There was that Angel Soft ad that ran a couple of years ago in which adults wish their single mothers a Happy Father’s Day. It’s bad enough that fathers have become so devalued …
I am sharing the post below from the Editorial Staff of the American Free News Network. I spent four years on active duty with the U.S. Army. It was one of the most important and consequential experiences of my life. While serving, I learned about leadership, working selflessly as part …
In 1997 a prophetic book hit the nation’s bookshelves entitled The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy – What the Cycles of History Tell Us about America’s Next Rendezvous with Destiny. The book was penned by William Strauss and Neil Howe, two historians who posited that all empires go through what …
For the past few months, I have been struck by just how similar America’s “woke” movement is to China’s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 70s. For those unaware, Chairman Mao Zedong’s brutal Cultural Revolution resulted in the worst mass murder of Chinese people in modern history. Hundreds of thousands …

We have abandoned scientific fact, morality, and patriotism in pursuit of pseudo-science, impiety, and ambiguously deceitful concepts such as “equity,” “gender dysphoria,” and the increasingly violent cult of Transgenderism. Schools can no longer define what a woman is …
Today, I am turning my blog over to Mike Ford, founder and managing editor of the American Free News Network https://afnn.us/ to which I am a contributor. Mike is also a former U.S. Army Colonel and US Military Academy graduate (class of 1980). In his post, he raises several legitimate …
Our country is so woke that we now need a new award to honor people who stand up to the PC mob and the corrosive cancel-culture lunacy they have spawned. The unlikely creator of the “Cojones Awards” is normally liberal Bill Maher, the “Real Time” host who appears to be …
Last week, in case you missed it, was “Ethics in Journalism Week,” sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists. As a journalist and a member of the SPJ myself, I naturally visited the SPJ’s website to see how it was commemorating this occasion. As expected, the site was bursting with …
