A Hollywood treatment of real-life events, “The Brink of War” gets off to an inauspicious start. The Cold War was “at its most critical point” in October 1986, reads the opening prologue card—yet one could assert that about basically any month from 1945–1991.
The genius of elections is not that they remove bad politicians. It’s that the possibility of removal changes behavior long before Election Day. Congress doesn’t need more elections. It simply needs to remember every month that one is coming. Perhaps Pavlov’s bell could do the trick.

Accountability does not always require a courtroom. Sometimes it requires only that we stop pretending we don’t see the truth. It requires that we restore the principle that free people, not unaccountable bureaucrats, retain the right to make their own medical decisions.
As the most foundational building block of our federal framework, federalism – or the division of power between a central national government and individual state governments – is essential to upholding the American ideal of checks and balances, ensuring that no single entity retains too much power.
This stinks of a cover-up. It raises the question: Why the start date six years before the pandemic erupted? It suggests that Biden or someone in his administration knew or at least suspected that Fauci may have engaged in criminal activity connected to the emergence of the virus.
First bestowed by General George Washington in 1782, the Purple Heart stands as our nation’s oldest military decoration, reserved for those wounded or fallen in defense of our country.
