Military Recruiting Suffering Badly

Good article. Makes some salient points worthy of further attention by the media. But the authors miss one large reason why young people aren't joining the military. The kind of men and women who are predisposed to selfless service are often those who have no desire to join the woke mob. Today's military has alienated conservative, God-fearing patriots who aren't willing to get the jab or sit through interminable struggle sessions on transgenderism.

The article also misses the point that there are far fewer American youth who can pass the physical and moral requirements to join. The numbers of waivers for drug use, cutting, and other concerning behaviors is at an all-time high.

Looks like the Army is finding out the hard way: Get Woke, Go Broke.

I can’t help but wonder if we are actually in the early stages of an actual civil war. Seems to be going in that direction especially if Maxine Waters, Hakeem Jeffries, AOC, Chuck Schumer, and company aren’t held accountable for their seditious behaviors....

Evacuate Now - US Dependents Told to Evacuate Middle East

Iraq risk especially elevated.

By Chuck Holton | June 12, 2025

The signs are flashing red.

In just 24 hours, the U.S. began pulling families from military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq. Embassy personnel are quietly packing bags. At the same time, Iran is openly threatening to strike U.S. bases across the Gulf. Add to that a Hamas ambush that killed five aid workers in Gaza, and we are suddenly staring down the barrel of a major regional conflict.

Here’s what you need to know:

From Protest to Collapse: How Riots, Lawsuits, and Foreign Meddling Could Break America

If you're watching the news lately, it feels like déjà vu. Cities burning. National Guard in the streets. Protesters clashing with police. Sound familiar? It should. We’ve been here before—most recently in 2020. And if we don’t get smart about what’s really happening, we could end up somewhere far worse.

Let’s talk honestly about where we are, how we got here, and where this road leads if we don't change course.

Remember the 2020 BLM Riots?

The Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 were the costliest civil unrest in American history. According to insurance data, they racked up between $1 and $2 billion in damages across more than 140 cities.

Minneapolis–St. Paul alone suffered $500 million in damages. About 1,500 properties were hit, and 60% of those were uninsured. That means business owners—many of them immigrants—lost everything. Some neighborhoods still look like war zones, years later.

In Atlanta, one weekend cost the city $10–15 million. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Add up emergency response costs, police overtime, barricade setups, and the cost of restoring basic services—and you start to see the long tail of destruction.
