If We Care About Lawfare, Start With the DEI and Woke Requirements Being Imposed by State Judge Pickers

The Left’s relentless campaign of woke lawfare has been on my mind recently. As I wrote this fall in these very pages, “we are in the midst of a wave of lawfare against anything that resists the Left: the Trump Administration, industries that have refused to bend the knee to progressive policy preferences, and individuals who dare disagree or speak up against the Left’s worldview.”

The Party of No Responsibility

I learned an important maxim from my service in the Army: "Leaders take responsibility, they never take credit.” It is time that America stops selecting imbecilic, irresponsible charlatans as elected officials. It is time for the adults to step up, as responsible adults, and do what is necessary to lead this Nation.

Sympathy for the Devil

How does the United States deal with non-state, non-uniform unlawful combatants? Those who are part of a defined state's armed services, who wear a common uniform, and openly carry their weapons and arms are recognized by the Law of Land Warfare as "lawful combatants.” And, as lawful combatants, they are afforded what is termed "combatant privilege.” Go back and read about the Geneva Convention protections.

There has been much chatter about the video released by six Marxist leftist elected officials with military backgrounds. The group is composed of Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan. In this now viral video, these useful idiots, Vladimir Lenin's term, make the insidious statement to the members of our US Armed Forces that, “You can refuse illegal orders...you must refuse illegal orders.”

You Reap What You Sow

There has been incessant commentary, analysis, assessments, and consternation about the results from last week's off-cycle elections. There are those on the left who are dancing in the end zone and spiking the football. Those on the right are seemingly wringing their hands. So, what is my assessment of the situation from last Tuesday's election?
