As an independent Christian conservative, I like to think of myself as someone who values wisdom over impulse. We’ve been given not only free will but also discernment—a gift God expects us to use in matters both personal and global. And let me tell you, when I hear Russia warning the U.S. about the dangers…
Ah, the Panama Canal—one of the world's great engineering marvels, a shining symbol of human ingenuity, and, let’s be honest, an enduring sore spot in international relations. Recently, President-elect Donald Trump floated the idea of reclaiming the canal, sparking a swift rebuke from Panama's President José Raúl Mulino. The proposal? Well, Trump doesn't like the…
The sudden resignation of Canada’s Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, paired with Donald Trump’s hardline tariff threats, presents an eye-opening moment for Canada and its leadership under Justin Trudeau. For Christians who value integrity, stewardship, and national security, these events underscore the urgent need for Canada to pivot away from mismanagement and political theater, and towards…
The complex web of developments surrounding Ukraine, Russia, NATO, and U.S. foreign policy often feels like trying to untangle Christmas lights—just as one knot loosens, another seems to appear. As an independent Christian conservative, I find myself asking: Are we as a nation truly pursuing justice, promoting peace, and protecting liberty, or are we allowing…
Well, folks, buckle up. President-elect Trump has laid out his plans for the next chapter of America, and, love him or loathe him, it’s clear he’s not planning to tiptoe around the issues.

As retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg steps into the role of President-elect Donald Trump’s special envoy to Russia and Ukraine, he faces a monumental task: finding a path to peace in a war that has devastated millions. This appointment raises hope that strong, principled leadership will guide U.S. efforts in the region. But any peace…
As news of Bashar al-Assad's ousting in Syria sweeps the globe, we find ourselves staring into the fog of post-revolution uncertainty. For over half a century, Assad’s iron grip exemplified much of what Christians and conservatives alike should oppose: authoritarianism, repression, and the steady persecution of dissenting voices. Yet, the downfall of tyranny doesn’t guarantee…
The recent tragic developments in Syria highlight a recurring and difficult question at the heart of U.S. foreign policy: Should America assume the role of global policeman, stepping into conflicts to shape the outcomes and uphold certain values, or should it prioritize its own national interests, limiting involvement in far-off disputes? This dilemma is far…
In the post-Cold War era, many believed that the age of existential threats had passed. However, recent developments reveal the emergence of a new and formidable alliance that rivals any threat faced since World War II. This "new axis of evil," consisting of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, represents a grave and multifaceted challenge…
As an independent Christian conservative, I see the events surrounding the war in Ukraine as a sobering reminder of how messy and morally complex geopolitics can be.
