With Donald Trump talking about Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal, some people are wondering if this may be the dawn of a new age of American expansionism. Today we are going to discuss what such a policy could look like, what powers might be used to acquire Greenland and reacquire the Panama Canal, and what an American Imperium might actually look like. ----- ⭐ SPONSOR: True Classic Start the New Year off with clothes that actually fit right.

It wasn't that long ago that the forces of woke seemed to be on the ascendency. One day, we went to bed in a world where drag queen story hour was not a thing, and the next day, we woke up, and if you weren't comfortable with a 40-year-old man in a dress following your 5-year-old into the women's bathroom, you were a bigot.

Young men are under attack in our culture. We are not supposed to notice or talk about it, and God help us if we feel any sympathy for men, who have become the perpetual punching bags for modern feminism. But the reality is that men will play a crucial role in shaping what our society looks like, whether woke feminists like it or not. The only real question is what kind of men they will be: bitter, jaded, hedonistic, and out for revenge, or the sort of men that create a society where families ca...

Whenever I have been asked what best prepared me for serving in elected office, I usually quip that before I got into politics, I served in a unit that specialized in unconventional warfare and counter-insurgency, and I'm amazed at how well that prepared me for domestic politics. It's, of course, half tongue in cheek, but there is no question that my time as a Green Beret taught me a lot about leadership.

There have been a lot of efforts to assist veterans, but I remember listening to a comedian of all people who was asked if he supported the troops.
