Sanctions punish citizens more than Iran’s ruling elites

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – On Iran, Professor Dorsey noted that Trump’s foreign-policy behavior has been – as it was in Venezuela – on-again (ready for war) and off -again (marking time until war).

Return medicine to the bedside and away...

America is bleeding at the chokepoints

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – America bleeds power not through invasion, but through strategic incompetence. Control of global chokepoints still decides trade, war, and influence, yet Washington turns quiet leverage into public theater. As allies grow uneasy and rivals advance patiently, geography exposes a deeper rot: an empire that outsourced strength, mistreats partners, and mistakes noise for power...

The Art of the Deal: A dangerous spinning wheel of global politics

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Does the United States need to take control of a country like Greenland to establish a “Golden Dome” to protect the United States? Are our longtime allies moving toward countries that pose a threat to us, such as Canada and Mexico, cozying up to China? How about Iran? How close are they to countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, and...

No good choices for an Iran regime change

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – There is no easy exit from this trap. Iran is not a single narrative. Kurds, Arabs, Turks, Persians, leftists, monarchists, moneyed factions, and armed units all push their own vision. Whoever holds the guns will have a seat at the table. There is no clear, uncontested leader to replace the clerical state. Someone waving an old royal flag will not unify...

James Dorsey speaks about the future of Iran and US military intervention

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – For the United States, according to Professor Dorsey, a military intervention would be a mistake of large proportions. Indeed, it probably would unite the Iranian population against the United States. In terms of politics, culture, and reputation, the United States at the moment possesses almost nothing that Iranians are eager to have at home...

Iran at the brink! The global shockwaves that could follow regime change

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – From Iran’s long revolutionary history to the present-day uprising, to the global shockwaves that could follow regime change, this is not about what already happened—it’s about what may happen next.

The war we can’t win! LTC Daniel L. Davis

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – What we do now is drift from conflict to conflict, using the U.S. military as a global enforcement arm for political frustration. Venezuela today. Ukraine yesterday. Iran tomorrow. The logic is always the same: we can, therefore we should. A real national security strategy does three things. It keeps Americans safe, free, and prosperous. It avoids wars we...

From Venezuela to Serbia, shadows of betrayal: The treason of John Brennan

Global superpowers’ strategic use of allies, partners, and proxies

Venezuela, Greenland, and Trump’s ‘new world disorder’

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – The raid that removed Nicolás Maduro was tactically brilliant. Anyone saying otherwise is lying—or coping. But the real story isn’t the raid itself. It’s what it normalized. For the first time in decades, the United States wielded hard power unapologetically in the Western Hemisphere. Not in Europe. Not in the Middle East. At home...

The Maduro capture and connection to US election fraud

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Maduro’s lieutenants are reported to be in charge of producing the vote-counting machines that have been used for fixing U.S. elections, and that operation would never be conducted without the full knowledge of Venezuela’s President.

How Venezuela became Beijing’s beachhead in America

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Once the wealthiest nation in Latin America, Venezuela has been reduced to authoritarian rule, economic ruin, and criminal governance under Nicolás Maduro.

“Clowngress” gone rogue

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Congress devolves into spectacle as war talk over Venezuela advances without debate or accountability. Leaders dodge responsibility, outsource courage to social media, and risk dragging the military into partisan conflict. Meanwhile, young Americans fall behind economically and lose faith in institutions. Ignore them, and political extremes rush in to fill the vacuum...

Another week of waiting for justice in America

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – U.S. sabers are still rattling, three more U.S. military personnel are dead, and the politicians of the Democratic Party, their RINO allies, and the traitorous federal bureaucracy are still walking free, with no apparent concerns that their well-known crimes will be punished with the severity and perhaps the finality they merit...

Laws without consequences: How enforcement died, and deterrence came back

And now, in Trump’s second term, we’re finally talking about...

The rise of attacks on believers and why now?

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – If we want a future with free worship and free speech, we must defend the habits that sustain them.

Corruption at home worsens as Congress funds foreign nations

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – The paper calls for enhanced security in the Western Hemisphere to build economic cooperation, create stronger democracies, and remove foreign influences.

How U.S. strategy helped unleash ISIS and chaos

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Washington’s wars reshape the Middle East through calculated instability, empowering extremists while dismantling states once seen as threats.

Venezuela’s ‘dirty war’ on America

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Whether you believe every claim or not, one thing is undeniable: foreign powers are working overtime to undermine U.S. sovereignty.

It’s about survival...

Digital ID: A convenience or peril to personal freedom?

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Digital identification comes in many forms, such as Health IDs, real IDs, or Digital Driver's Licenses.

The real cost of America’s loyalty to foreign nations

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – News for you, Mr. President, Americans do not heed a Chief Magistrate who stops other people’s wars, but they desperately do need one who is focused solely on keeping Americans out of all wars unless we are attacked or invaded.

The US Capitol of sleaze: Your modern Congress

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Underpaid, overworked staffers — the same ones being groomed with free foreign trips, “fellowships,” and quiet job offers.

One of the most dangerous trends in modern American politics

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Retired generals… former intelligence officers… and sitting members of Congress using carefully coordinated omni-channel messaging to encourage doubt—hesitation—and even defiance among military service members toward the lawful orders of the Commander-in-Chief.

Soybeans & surrender in Trump’s China deal

Educators are titans of the political left’s campaign to push the kids into socialism

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Our school teachers can be found to have failed to train students in their use of commonsense – surely buttressed by the identical failures by so many of their parents -- and have made a travesty of teaching so many kids by using a farcical brand of American history in order to make them the easy prey for the Democratic Party’s campaign to...

The bear didn’t bite—at least not yet

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Despite sanctions from more than fifty nations, Russia’s economy hasn’t cracked. The Kremlin has avoided full mobilization and kept daily life surprisingly normal. That’s restraint, whether the West wants to admit it or not.

Election, shutdown, corruption: Time to face our fears

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – So much is going on in the background.
