Calling a riot a insurrection is so dubiously political. After the Occupy camps were swept by Obama in conjunction with major city mayors it was proof of how scared this foundational movement made the …

I did a lot of driving around the country after I got out of the Navy. I would see Ron Paul signs in rural places where it didn’t seem like people cared about politics. While I was running the Facebook for soldiers I saw how supportive Paulbots were in the Bush era antiwar movement and the Occupy era that we …

National sovereignty is not worth nuclear attack from a security council member. Molotov cocktails will not protect anyone and this is not a movie about the Alamo. We also urge …

Our publication is late to the party on this subject. There was a groundbreaking study conducted for the first time at Veterans Affairs last year and many veterans organizations are advocating for hallucinogenic mushrooms as a PTSD cure. Notice I didn’t say therapy because the research is showing repair on damaged neurons is possible. What I can offer here is …

This article is a departure from our usual content. Most of the founders of #SFTC were the original crew members of the USS Ronald Reagan CVN 76. I was a plank owner meaning I was in the shipyard while my least favorite president’s namesake was constructed. There was a strike that delayed construction. After she was commissioned we did all …
