Here’s the 8th article in our new section on international military affairs: NatSec Guy.

The most striking feature of the current war between the United States and Iran is not simply the scale of the fighting. It is the uncomfortable strategic question that now hangs over the entire conflict: what does this war actually achieve for the United States?

In Washington, some officials have attempted to frame the war as part of a broader strategy to deter China. The argument is that a powerful American response in the Middle East demonstrates resolve and signals to Beijing that the United States remains willing to use force to defend its interests. On paper, that argument may sound plausible. In reality, however, the war appears to be exposing the very weaknesses that China has spent years preparing to exploit.

The first problem is: munitions.

Here’s the 7th article in our new section on international military affairs: NatSec Guy.

President Donald Trump did exactly what I told you he was going to do: lull the Islamic Republic of Iran into a false sense of security by offering to negotiation one last time and then launch strikes against the Iranians when they least expected it.

Many think that Iran has received its just desserts. Undoubtedly, Iran has a long history of hostility toward the United States — but it takes two to tango.

Nevertheless, the United States finds itself at war.

No matter what President Trump says or what the Israelis promise about this being a relatively quick, no-boots-on-the-ground war, no war plan survives first contact with the enemy. And the first major crack in the president’s war plan is beginning to form — with direct and immediate implications for you and your pocketbook.

Welcome to the 15th article in our new section on religion: Christian Nation.

All right, evangelicals, it’s our turn.

While our conservative Catholic compatriots are grappling with ongoing Papal excursions into secular ethics, we also have work to do.

Evangelicalism in America covers a wide variety of churches, but we can get a sense of the state of affairs heading into 2026 by looking closer at one of the bigger groups inside the tent — the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC).

With just under 13 million members and 46,000 churches, the SBC is widely considered one of the bellwether evangelical organizations. Of late, the SBC has wobbled with a number of controversies, one of which arises from its own policy arm — the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC).

Author and commentator Megan Basham has summed up the ERLC as being generally feckless as a lobbying group. In fact, it regularly argues in favor of a number of secular leftist issues. For example, the ERLC was part of an evangelical group defending Joe Biden’s open-border immigration policies — which saw torrents of terrorists, rapists, murderers, and child traffickers waltz into America.

The problem, of course, is that many of the contemporary issues we face aren’t political as much as they are spiritual, which makes the influence of the SBC that much more important.

Here’s the 6th article in our new section on international military affairs: NatSec Guy.

On February 27th, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee reportedly ordered embassy staff to begin clearing out within 24 hours. That is not a routine bureaucratic shuffle. That is what governments do when they believe war is imminent.

The move followed a “last-ditch” diplomatic encounter between Jared Kushner, envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iranian officials. By all indications, it was less a negotiation than a recitation of demands: surrender your nuclear program, abandon ballistic missiles, end support for proxies — or face annihilation at the hands of the U.S.-Israeli alliance.

That is not deterrence. That is: compellence. And compellence is inherently escalatory.

I’ve argued for years — most extensively in my book The Shadow War — that the Islamic Republic will never publicly surrender its nuclear ambitions. Not simply because of Israel or the United States, but because Tehran seeks a credible deterrent against Sunni Arab rivals. Regimes surrounded by adversaries do not voluntarily disarm.

Here’s the 5th article in our new section on international military affairs: NatSec Guy.

Donald Trump did not return to power promising stability. He returned promising to redraw the map of the Western Hemisphere.

From talk of buying Greenland and folding Canada into the Union, to forcing China out of the Panama Canal, backing Javier Milei in Argentina, toppling Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, and tightening the screws on Cuba, Trump’s agenda sounded to critics like imperial fantasy.

But taken together, these moves reveal something far more serious: a deliberate strategy to restore uncontested American dominance in its own hemisphere.

It’s called the “Donroe Doctrine” — a mocking name provided by the left-wing press. In reality, it is the Monroe Doctrine reborn for the age of great-power competition—and this time, Washington is enforcing it with hard power.

Welcome to the 14th article in our new section on religion: Christian Nation.

My favorite pro-life leader in America is Kristan Hawkins, founder and president of Students for Life of America. She’s tough, smart, principled, and highly effective. She uses the funds she raises to fight on the front lines and on the ground, both on college campuses and in pivotal local elections. She strongly supported President Trump, when some other prominent pro-lifers were still being prissy and hiding behind the skirts of the treacherous Mike Pence. If you know any pro-life donors who want to put their money where it will move the needle, point to Students for Life as their first, second, and third choice.

I last saw Kristan in Dallas at the Council for Life, where she stepped in to speak in place of the martyred Charlie Kirk. Her speech was amazing, holding the Trump administration to account for its lapses of principle on embryo-hoarding IVF and dangerous chemical abortion.

So I was troubled to see Kristan go public with a very questionable take — which got her significant blowback: “The death penalty is inconsistent with a pro-life worldview.”

I see this claim made often, probably because Pope Francis altered 6,000 years of biblical doctrine to make it the current teaching of the Catholic Church. It’s profoundly mistaken for many reasons, as I laid out back in 2015. Below is the argument I made. I hope Kristan and other pro-life leaders read this, and soberly reconsider their position.

Welcome to the 13th article in our new section on religion: Christian Nation.

Who knew that something as seemingly innocuous as the President’s Religious Liberty Commission (RLC)--created last May “to safeguard and promote America’s founding principle of religious freedom”—could turn controversial.

But last week it did.

Carrie Prejean Boller, former Miss USA and convert to Roman Catholicism, was booted off the Commission by the Chairman, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. During the Commission’s fifth public hearing, Patrick claimed that Boller “hijack[ed]” the hearing “for [her] own personal and political agenda.” Those cheering her ouster say it was in large measure because Boller defended Candace Owens’ reportedly antisemitic remarks.

Boller’s supporters, on the other hand, see her as standing up to undue Israeli influence in the US. She also offended some by bringing up the “genocide” of Palestinians in Gaza. That’s perhaps hyperbole, but just last month the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) acknowledged that some 70,000 had been killed there, only one-third of whom were Hamas fighters.

However, the crux of this dispute is really a different issue, which is presented clearly in this clip starting at 1:11.

Welcome to the fourth article in our new section on international military affairs: NatSec Guy.

In 2012, as Mexico’s drug war raged under President Felipe Calderón, a senior official in Chihuahua admitted something many suspected: the CIA (he claimed) actually “managed” the drug trade in Mexico and across Latin America.

The implication was that the violence consuming the country from 2006-2012 was not merely criminal chaos, but a byproduct of covert geopolitical strategy. While shocking to some people, that allegation (made to Al Jazeera) was hardly unprecedented. For decades, journalists and investigators have explored alleged links between elements of the U.S. intelligence community and Latin American narcotics networks.

Mexican cartels have demonstrated extraordinary resilience, operational sophistication, and access to the American market (the largest narcotics consumer base on Earth). It might be because they’re just so evil. Or it might be because they’ve received help over the years through covert contacts in the largest security state just north of Mexico.

With roughly 105,000 Americans dying annually from drug overdoses, Washington’s long-standing reluctance — until recently — to formally designate Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations raises uncomfortable questions about policy priorities and strategic intent.

Today, those questions feel newly urgent.

Welcome to the third article in our new section on international military affairs: NatSec Guy.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum?

Rumors abound that Sheinbaum has been exfiltrated from the presidential compound in Mexico City to a warship off the coast of Mexico. On social media, there’s some debate as to whether the Mexican president was taken to a nearby Mexican Navy or US Navy warship.

Others argue that this is not true at all, and she remains very much in charge of the situation in Mexico City.

But the whole scenario unfolding with Mexico’s leadership is very odd.

As of Monday morning (Feb 23), Sheinbaum’s office issued only a cursory statement on its official social media account about how there was “absolute coordination with the governments of all states; we must remain informed and calm,” emphasizing that “activities are proceeding normally throughout most of the country.”

Where’s the official presidential statement on camera? Why isn’t Sheinbaum taking the reins — and doing so in a public way to reassure the understandably frightened Mexican public?
