Unconfirmed news reports say the Trump administration is considering the withdrawal of 9,500 troops from Germany. If true, that would not be a prudent decision, and ultimately would harm U.S. security interests. The Trump administration has done much since 2017 to improve security in Europe. Under President Donald Trump, the U.S. has increased funding for […]
Our listeners are likely to know well of Gens. George Patton, David, Patraeus, and Dwight Eisenhower. But what about the patient general whose strategy led an inexperienced team of freedom fighters to victory against the Mexican army? Brian Kilmeade of “Fox Friends” rejoins “The Right Side of History” to tell us about such a man […]
From the civil rights movement of the 1960s to the 2009 Tea Party March on Washington in 2009 to the annual March for Life in our nation’s capital, peaceful protests have been a hallmark—and strength—of American democracy. But the violence that has erupted around the protests over the death of George Floyd has nothing to do with democracy. […]
As thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Washington, D.C., on Saturday, three high school students were organizing a rally of their own in a quiet Virginia neighborhood of Fairfax County. The dinnertime march drew more than 150 participants, many carrying signs demanding justice and remembering George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, two black Americans […]
In the days since George Floyd’s death in police custody, his family and friends have been remembering his life. “The thing I miss most about him is his hugs. He was just this big giant,” said a cousin, Shareeduh Tate, according to The New York Times. Tate was one of the many who gathered Thursday […]
George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis on May 25 when a police officer used brutally excessive force to arrest him. It was the latest in a string of high-profile cases nationwide in which citizens, most of them African Americans, died from reckless police force. Once again, protests over police brutality turned violent and rioting ensued. […]
It’s weird that this needs to be said, but here we are. Then again, the pundit who reprehensibly claims that destroying property “is not violence” risks nothing. She agitates for revolution from the safety of her apartment. Much the same, I suspect, most of those excusing the destruction of our cities—either contending that businesses “have […]
Foreign policy doesn’t stop for turmoil here at home. The U.S. can’t afford attention deficit disorder overseas. That is doubly true for meeting the challenge of China, the most consequential test this generation could see in its lifetime. Last Friday, President Donald Trump rolled out a number of punitive measures designed to discourage the increasingly aggressive and threatening Chinese communist regime. The action fully comports with the administration’s recently published China strategy, a […]
“Freedom has a taste to those who fight and almost die that the protected will never know.” Those words were etched into the wall of the now infamous Hanoi Hilton prisoner of war camp by one of Sam Johnson’s fellow prisoners of war. Now, they are imprinted in a handwritten note from Rep. Sam Johnson […]
In the wake of riots that have spread across America, leaving shattered businesses and wounded communities in their wake, it feels as though our nation is collapsing around us. That’s bizarre, considering that virtually all Americans agree with the following two propositions: first, that it is evil for a police officer to place his knee […]
