Retirement plans warn of a “penalty for early withdrawal.” Might that also apply to the withdrawal of American and NATO forces from Afghanistan? If you set aside the victory by coalition forces that expelled Saddam Hussein's overmatched troops from Kuwait in 1991, the U.S. has not won a war since World War II. Not in Korea. Not in Vietnam and now, says President Biden, Afghanistan is a war we…

Former two-time Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld died on Wednesday at the age of 88. Given his role in the Iraq War, both in its conception and in how it was fought, it was inevitable that media reaction would be at least somewhat critical. On his MSNBC show, Ayman Mohyeldin, however, went much further, blaming him and the U.S. for the misery that exists in Iraq and Afghanistan.

After an embarrassing interview with Manhattan Institute scholar Christopher Rufo, MSNBC host Joy Reid reverted to featuring guests who support her erroneous views on critical race theory. On Monday night, she made a safe choice and interviewed a liberal media favorite and professional race-baiter, Ibram X. Kendi, who among other things claimed the U.S. military has a “white supremacist…

On Friday's edition of The 11th Hour on MSNBC, host Brian Williams seemed to suggest that Fox News be banned from military bases because Tucker Carlson responded to Gen. Mark Milley's recent defense of Critical Race Theory by declaring "He’s not just a pig. He’s stupid." Later, Williams tried to tie concerns about CRT in the military to Vladimir Putin.

On Thursday's installment of CNN Newsroom, host Jim Sciutto welcomed retired Lt. General and military analyst Mark Hertling onto the program to discuss and defend Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Mark Milley's defense of Critical Race Theory being taught at West Point.

Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's Deadline: White House on MSNBC, Vanderbilt University professor and former MSNBC analyst Michael Eric Dyson went into a rant against "mediocre white men" as he reacted to a clip of Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) raising concerns about the influence of Critical Race Theory in the U.S. military during a recent committee hearing.

In a disturbing segment of Wednesday’s World News Tonight, ABC came out in support of poisoning the minds of students with Critical Race Theory. And instead of showing the parents of Loudoun County, Virginia rising up against their radical school board who wanted to teach it to their kids, the network promoted Joint Chiefs Chairman, General Mark Milley defending the teaching of the…

John Cusack is on yet another twitter rant, but what else is new? This time the actor and professional complainer is attacking Boeing for “funding insurrectionist gop members” and creating ads showing support for our military. Of course the Hollywood jerk just spouts off, regardless of truth. He just loves attention (and hating on people). 

The Inside Politics panel discussion led by host John King on Thursday about Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar comparing the U.S. and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban was less interested in Omar's actual comments, than how the "Democratic family" will learn how to live with its differing opinions.

Last Sunday marked the 77th anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy. On that day, Operation Overlord began, launching the Allied invasion of Europe that would spell the beginning of the end of the Nazi regime. At least 4,400 Allied troops died in the Normandy landings, and another 10,000 were wounded.

Chris Pratt is one of the few current Hollywood megastars that actually shows gratitude for America and the sacrifices that brave men throughout history have made in order to preserve it. He also recognizes the lack of gratitude shown towards these heroes for their ultimate sacrifice and recently used social media to remind people that their freedom to hate their country was “paid for in blood…

The Memorial Day edition of the New York Times editorial page led with an obnoxious, elitist essay by Margaret Renkl, a contributing opinion writer based in Nashville. Her attempt at a Memorial Day tribute was rendered worthless by an extraneous condemnation of her fellow Americans for not doing enough to stop the coronavirus, hidden under the benign title “A New Vision of National…

Memorial Day is a solemn remembrance of the U.S. service members who died defending America and American freedoms. But this Memorial Day, we should ask if those honored dead would recognize the military in which they served.

CBS's new series The United States of Al tackled the Afghan conflict this week by introducing an American-hating leftist who blames the United States for everything from the creation of the Taliban to the existence of Osama Bin Laden.
