Breaking: WAR (A teaching moment for those interested in military strategy and theory).
War is a result of a failure of policy, poor policy is a failure of strategy, a lack of strategy is a failure of leadership, a failure of leadership is deadly.
In Sun Tzu's, The Art of War, he strongly emphasizes achieving victory through strategy, deception, and positioning rather than direct combat, ideally by avoiding or preventing war altogether when possible.
His core idea is that the highest form of skill isn’t winning battles through force but subduing the opponent without ever needing to fight.
Here are some of Sun Tzu's masterpiece thoughts on war without fighting.
1. The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
2. To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill. To fight and conquer in all battles is not supreme excellence, supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting. Winning every fight is good, but preventing the need for them is far superior.
3. In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy’s country whole and intact. To shatter and destroy it is not so good. Preserving resources and avoiding destruction through superior strategy is ideal.
4. The shrewd warrior avoids the battle, and the greatest victory is that which requires no battle. These reinforce prudence and foresight over unnecessary engagement.
Bottom line: Sun Tzu advises knowing yourself and the enemy thoroughly, using deception and trickery, attacking weaknesses while avoiding strengths, and choosing when not to fight.
He views prolonged warfare (attrition) or destructive warfare (annihilation) as a failure of strategy, preferring psychological, diplomatic, or positional victories that render one's opposition helpless before the battle is even waged.
Essentially, Sun Tzu saw war as a last resort and a costly endeavor. The smartest leaders win by making conflict unnecessary through superior planning, sound, reliable intelligence, and adaptability. These ideas have influenced military and business leaders, as well as being vital components of conflict resolution for centuries.
Military practitioners are not the only ones who have read Sun Tzu. It is translated in many languages and dialects all across the globe. Many fail to read it, most fail to follow the guidelines. War isn’t an unnecessary outcome, but before engaging, there must be very clear objectives and an even clearer end state.

The other General Flynn!
Right on the money.
Stand against tyranny wherever it raises its ugly head.
Free will is never for sale.

It must be said that the American people hold our Congress in very low esteem, as low as at anytime in our history. And those in leadership positions appear to have forgotten who they serve.
Hint: It’s NOT yourselves!!!
1. We need term limits in Congress and,
2. South Carolina needs @MarkLynchSC to be its next U.S. Senator!

Edward Luttwak is 💯 right.
We can’t be mirror imaging and believe those we’re negotiating with think like us.
In “Twelver” Shia Islam, although there is no single established term called “end times epistemology”, Shia tradition does handle knowledge of eschatological events.
If our political negotiators are confused by the above or think because someone is wearing a suit isn’t a true believer, think again. And they better understand the concepts of “ghaybah” and “zuhur” and what the concept of the twelfth Imam (Muhammad al-Mahdi) is all about.
Some political or quasi-political negotiators tend to go into these type negotiations believing they’re dealing with businessmen interested in money or some other type of resource, when in fact the underlying belief has nothing to do with either of those.
The truly hard core fanatics, some who remain in leadership positions inside of Iran, want to fight an end times war to advance the return of the Mahdi.
Trust that.

Michael Moore was right on the money, especially when he describes our right to vote. Our vote “equalizes” every legal American when it is a fairly done vote. We still have a long way to go, but because of President Donald J. Trump America has a fighting chance.
We need to do our part now and force change to our voting system. It is still badly broken.
When the right steps are taken to correct how our voting processes are done, America is unstoppable.

America needs a massive deportation campaign.
Remigration to respective countries or fly, drive, bus, truck or walk every single illegal to the U.S. / Mexican border and drop them off and secure our southern and northern borders with the U.S. military.
That’s what we should be doing with illegals.
That’s America first!!!
Tell me I’m wrong 😡

One year ago, I published The “Diplomatic Void.”
I warned that adversaries were watching our empty embassies and drawing conclusions. They were right to do so.
Sixteen months into this administration, fewer than 1 in 3 American embassies has a Senate-confirmed Trump ambassador. The Foreign Service has lost more than 20% of its workforce since January 2025.
Moscow, Riyadh, Berlin, Kyiv, Baghdad, and over 100 other strategic capitals sit without a nominee.
While we wait, China sends ambassadors carrying checkbooks and Beijing's instructions. Russia sends operators who have studied us for decades.
We send a chargé. The equivalent of a colonel in a meeting that demands a general, and then we wonder why the room treats us like a colonel.
The Senate hasn't confirmed a Trump Nominee for Ambassador since December 2025.

One year ago, I wrote a piece called The Diplomatic Void. I warned that nearly a third of America’s ambassadorial seats were empty, that the Senate was sleepwalking, and that adversaries were watching. I called for a flood of appointments and Senate confirmations…

What you are witnessing in the United States of America is a spiritual reformation and history records what happens when a great Nation returns to the God of its founding.
The Almighty does not abandon a people who seek Him. America's Christian community is awakening and with that awakening comes the kind of moral clarity and courageous leadership that changes the course of nations.
We have seen this before.
Valley Forge was won not by comfort but conviction and faith that the cause was just before God. That same conviction is stirring again.
To every nation watching, to every people who still believe that ordered liberty under God is worth defending, take heart.
America is not finished and what God restores, no adversary can destroy.

RUSSIA—GATE!
The timeline is not complicated and I am done pretending it requires any further investigation to understand what happened.
On January 10, 2017, according to a court filing by my attorney Sidney Powell, James Clapper made a phone call to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius directing him, in words to the effect of, "take the kill shot on Flynn." Two days later, Ignatius published a column disclosing the contents of my legally intercepted phone calls with Ambassador Kislyak and the machine that had been built to destroy me and my family lurched into motion.
Leaking those transcripts was a serious felony.
An egregious federal crime, committed by people with security clearances, committed against an incoming National Security Advisor, committed for the explicit purpose of kneecapping a president before he ever set foot in the Oval Office.
Here is the question that has never been asked loudly enough and I am asking it now. David Ignatius did not operate in a vacuum. He was not some lone columnist who stumbled onto a classified intercept by accident. He had cultivated sources across official Washington for decades and some of those sources were not in the outgoing Obama administration. Some were sitting inside the incoming Trump transition.
I am not naming names in this post. But I am stating plainly and for the record that there are individuals who held positions inside that transition, who maintained regular contact with Ignatius, and who have never once been placed under oath and asked what they knew, what they communicated, and when they communicated it.
The kill shot did not fire itself. Someone inside what was supposed to be our own team made sure that Ignatius had what he needed, when he needed it, to pull the trigger. Someone made certain that the investigation that followed went absolutely nowhere. Every one of them has a name, a phone record, and a paper trail. Accountability doesn’t expire.
Trust that there is a Grand Jury coming for you.
