When credentialed scientists, decorated military officers, and high-clearance researchers start disappearing at a rate that triggers a White House probe, the question is no longer whether something is wrong.

The question is what they knew, and who needed them silenced. I wrote about the missing scientists, the UAP connection, Easter Island, and the pattern nobody wants to name.

Read it here: https://genflynn.substack.com/p/easter-island

The POTUS should start with the directors of certain agencies (plural) in the intelligence community and select other agencies (ie., NASA) along with departments & organizations (ie., Energy, DARPA, NRO) and start demanding answers. Fire each of them immediately if they don’t have solid explainable answers to this issue of UAP and what and why he wasn’t informed about them (especially during his 45 tenure). Bring their deputies in next if the director or secretaries can’t answer and keep doing the same until straight answers are forthcoming that the American people deserve.

This is not a game, this is real life and it must be addressed. IF (big if) there is some serious strategic advantage America gains by having knowledge of a capability or technology that allows us to have an advantage over our adversaries at some level and the President decides that this must be retained as a state secret, so be it.

But time to cut the crap and expose the truth.

The Book, “The Field of Fight: How We Can Win the Global War Against Radical Islam and Its Allies” written by yours truly and my good friend, Michael Ledeen (may he RIP) is as valid today as it was when it was written (circa 2016). The book argues that the U.S. is losing a generational war against radical Islamists and their state allies (e.g., Iran, Syria & others) due to political woke weakness. The book calls for an aggressive, "all-out" strategy to win. You can get a copy at:

This is 💯 true!

WARFARE 101: The best plan on any battlefield gives you the most options up to the last possible minute.

That is a principle every combat commander learns early, and it is one we should be applying to the situation in front of us right now.

We have multiple wars unfolding at the same time, and the pace of decision-making has to match the complexity of the threat. Ukraine has nearly fallen out of the public conversation, yet thousands of people are being killed every day. That war has not paused. It has simply moved out of the headlines. The same is true of the conflict in Iran that we are currently engaged in.

Every one of these fights deserves clear-eyed attention and a full set of options on the table.

I believe there are solutions to the war in Ukraine and to the conflict we are navigating today against Iran. Solutions exist when leaders preserve flexibility, listen to honest counsel, and refuse to lock into a single course of action before the situation demands it.

The moment a commander surrenders his options, he surrenders his initiative. The moment a nation surrenders its options, it surrenders its leverage.

This is the discipline of sound strategy. Keep the options open. Keep the thinking sharp. Keep the door to peace within reach without ever sacrificing strength. That is how wars are ended on terms that hold, and that is how a great nation leads through a season of conflict.

Pray for our troops, the innocent caught in these wars, and pray for the wisdom of our Commander in Chief, carrying the weight of these decisions.

IRAN Update:

The strongest plans survive honest disagreement. The weakest are the ones nobody questioned.

President Trump has sharp instincts and a decisive hand. Give him the full range of options and rigorous debate, and the country benefits from every decision he makes. That’s how a Republic is meant to be led.

The Stay Awake America Tour is coming to Washington DC on May 16th, and this is exactly the kind of gathering that reminds you why the fight is worth it.

There is something powerful that happens when believers, patriots, and leaders come together in one place with one purpose, and that is exactly what this tour stop is going to be. There is no more fitting place to make that stand than the nation’s capital.

The Iran War: Who will win?

To invoke theory for a moment; wars are fundamentally contests of national willpower backed by capability, directed by strategy. Achieving victory requires the victor to overcome the enemy’s resistance. The side that manages the combination of resources & willpower while imposing its political objectives usually wins.

While there is no single factor, victory is the outcome of multiple interlocking advantages that compound over time.

History shows no magic bullet; even overwhelming superiority in one area can be negated by failure in others (think Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan, even Korea). All to say, the war with Iran does not equate to WWII conditions.

What determines victory?

A Mother's Day Letter to America

There are some things a man does not write about until he is old enough to understand what he was given. I decided since it is Mother’s Day, I am setting the news cycle aside for a moment, because some truths are bigger than the daily fight.

I grew up as one of nine children in a small house in Middletown, Rhode Island. My father was a hard man with a soft heart, and he never asked the country for anything he had not first given it. My mother, Helen, held the center of our home together through every season of our lives. She raised nine of us, fed us, clothed us, prayed over us, taught us right from wrong, and somehow still found the energy to fight for her community. She ran for office at the local level at a time when most women her age were told to stay quiet, and she refused to. She taught us to kneel before God and to stand before no man. She taught us that we serve the country that gave us life. She taught us that strength is measured by what we carry, not by what we complain about.

When I look back at every hard day I have ever had, and there have been more than a few, I hear her voice before I hear my own. That is what a mother does. She becomes the first sound in your conscience and the last voice in your prayers.

The Founders understood something that this culture has allowed itself to mock. They understood that the Republic does not begin in the Capitol. It begins at the kitchen table. It begins with the mother who teaches her child to read the Bible before he learns to read a screen. It begins with the woman who tells her son that lying is beneath him and that running from his duty is worse than failing at it.

John Adams said the Constitution was made for a moral and religious people and would be wholly inadequate for any other. The men who built that moral and religious people were trained at home, by their mothers, long before they ever sat in a classroom or stood in a regiment.

We have spent generations laughing at that woman. Hollywood mocked her. The universities re-educated her daughters against her. The federal bureaucracy taxed her family until she had to leave the home she wanted to stay in. The technology companies took her children's attention and sold it to the highest bidder. Then the same culture that broke her down turned around and asked why our young people are anxious, fatherless, faithless, and unwilling to defend the country that raised them.

You cannot remove the mother from the Republic and expect the Republic to survive. It is that simple. It has always been that simple.

Fifth-generation warfare, the kind I have written about and warned about for years, is fought for the human mind. The terrain is the heart, the imagination, and the soul of a child. The first defender of that terrain is not a soldier. It is a mother. Every American mother who turns off the poison and reads to her child instead is defending the country. Every mother who walks her family into a church on Sunday is defending the country. Every mother who shows up at a school board meeting and refuses to sit down is defending the country. She is protecting the next generation of free citizens, and she is doing it with greater consequence than most of the officials elected to do the same job.

That is not sentimental language. It is an operational reality. The enemies of this country know it. They have studied it. They target the family because they understand that if the American family falls, the Nation falls behind it. Mothers are the front line. They have always been the front line.

I cannot write this without saying what needs to be said.

For ten years, my family carried a weight no family should ever have to carry. Ten years of investigation, of slander, of legal warfare waged by the most powerful institutions in this country against one American and the people who loved him. My wife, Lori, never broke. My sisters never broke. My daughters-in-law never broke. My mother, watching from heaven, never let me break either.

If you have ever wondered what holds a man together when the full weight of a corrupt federal system is trying to crush him, I will tell you. It is not bravado. It is not press releases. It is a wife who looks you in the eye at the end of the worst day and tells you to keep going. It is the women in your life who refuse to let evil have the last word.

Everyone reading this knows a woman like that. Honor her today and every day after.

The Almighty did not make you for comfort. He made you for purpose. There is no purpose more sacred than the one He placed in your hands when He gave you a child.

Almighty God, on this Mother's Day, we thank You for the mothers of this Republic. Bless the mothers raising children in fatherless homes. Bless the mothers who buried a son or daughter in uniform. Bless the mothers who pray through the night for a child who has lost his way. Bless the mothers who walk into school board meetings shaking and walk out unbroken. Bless the mothers in heaven who still watch over us, including my own. Strengthen them, protect them, and use them, Lord, to raise up the next generation of patriots this Nation will need. In Your Holy Name we pray, Amen.

To every mother reading this, thank you. You are the reason this Republic still has a fighting chance.

Happy Mother's Day.

James Comey signed his name to FISA warrants built on a fabricated dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign (he likely knew it too). He then leaked privileged government documents to manufacture a special counsel.

He sat across from the POTUS and ran a counterintelligence trap while smiling. He destroyed careers, shattered families, and weaponized the most powerful law enforcement apparatus in the world against American citizens he had already decided were guilty.

Now, his daughter has lost a government job, and he calls it illegal!?

The projection here is astonishing. This is a man who has never once been held to the same standard he applied to others with ruthless aggression. He has never sat in a room and been asked to explain himself under oath, as he forced others to. He has never had his home raided at dawn. He has never had his life turned inside out by the machine he ran, and because none of that has happened yet, he still believes he is untouchable.

He is NOT untouchable. He is simply not yet touched.

There is a difference.

History has a way of correcting that distinction, and James Comey knows it. That is why he keeps talking. Guilty men who feel the walls closing in cannot stay quiet. They never could.

Statement on the Epstein Files: The American people have read and had enough.

What is already documented in the Jeffrey Epstein matter is enough to demand the full release of every page.

It is enough to demand the prosecution of every adult whose name appears in connection with the abuse of a child.

It is enough to tear the entire apparatus of redaction and protection down to its foundation.

Children were trafficked through the homes, planes, and islands of some of the most powerful people on earth. Women working directly for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including women who were themselves victims groomed into becoming traffickers, sent emails identifying girls as young as nine, ten, and eleven for delivery into that network.

Representatives Boebert, Luna, Massie, Khanna, and Garcia with security clearances and direct access to the unredacted files, have told the American people that the language in those documents is darker than what the public has been allowed to see.

They have described emails about torture. They have described coded references that warrant immediate criminal investigation. They have described names hidden behind black bars while survivors watch their own identities exposed.
That is not a conspiracy theory. That is testimony from sitting members of Congress, on the record, in front of the cameras, under their own names.

What is already on record is enough to indict an entire generation of institutional failure. The FBI had this material for two decades and the case went nowhere. The Department of Justice cut the original sweetheart plea deal in Florida that let Epstein walk in a county jail with work release. The man himself died in federal custody on the watch of agencies that to this day cannot give a clean accounting of what happened in that cell.

Now, after the Epstein Files Transparency Act (a law), the American people are told that millions of pages remain withheld and that the redactions in what has been released are shielding the powerful rather than the victims.

There is pure evil in this case. Real, spiritual, moral evil of the kind the Scriptures warn us about and that every civilization in human history has been forced to confront.

Children were destroyed for the appetites of the wealthy and the connected. The institutions of this Republic that exist to protect those children failed them at every level, for decades, across both parties.

I have spent a lifetime in military and intelligence work. I have sat in the rooms where decisions get made. I have watched institutions classify their failures, bury their misconduct, and call the result national security. The pattern in this case is the same pattern I have watched my entire career.

The powerful protect the powerful. The truth gets buried until the American people force it into the open.

So here is what every American must demand, and what every American must keep demanding until it is delivered.

1. Release every page, every email, every flight log, every financial record, and every video.

2. Strip the redactions that exist to protect the predators rather than victims.

3. Identify every person, foreign or domestic, whose name appears in connection with the abuse of a child.

4. Prosecute where the evidence allows, regardless of station, party, citizenship, or wealth.

5. Reopen the question of Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody.

6. Audit the FBI, the Department of Justice, and every agency that touched this case for the past twenty years.

The Constitution does not run a separate justice system for the connected. The Republic does not bend its laws around the elite and no claim of "national security" will ever justify the protection of monsters who paid to abuse children.

Pray for the victims and do not, under any circumstance, let this story die.

Mike Pence wants to warn Republicans about the “siren song of populism.” I want to remind him of what the last half-century of his “traditional conservative principles” actually produced.

1. It produced NAFTA.

2. It produced the WTO deal that handed China our manufacturing base.

3. It produced twenty years of nation-building in the Middle East while our own Nation crumbled.

4. It produced a ruling class of Republicans who won elections, controlled committees, gave speeches about limited government, and delivered NOTHING.

Not one inch of a wall.
Not one factory brought home.
Not one federal agency, activity or department reined in.

NOTHING, so stop with your BS!

Mike, that is the path you want us to return to. You call it principle. I call it failure with a flag pin on the lapel.

The American people did not drift toward populism. They ran toward it because the alternative was another decade of men like you managing their decline while assuring them it was conservatism.

We are done being managed.

We are done being lectured.

We are done watching Washington Republicans cash out while the country falls apart.

There is no time for choosing, Mike. The choice was made (three times to be exact). The only person who hasn’t accepted it is YOU.

You may as well be speaking to the hand! You’re wasting your time if you believe for a second that you have a shot at the presidency.

Americans are now demanding far more leadership than you ever demonstrated.

Have a nice day!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The Remnant is Rising, and if you have been waiting for a sign that it is time to get off the sidelines, this is it. The ReAwaken Reunion is coming to Sheridan Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and this is exactly the kind of gathering that reminds you why the fight is worth it.

This is not just another event on the calendar. It is a room full of people who love this country, who have not given up on it, and who know that real change starts when real people decide to show up.

There is something powerful that happens when believers, patriots, and leaders come together in one place with one purpose, and that is exactly what this reunion is going to be.

We are just weeks away, and seats are going fast. If you have been feeling isolated, discouraged, or like the voices of faith and freedom, are losing ground, this is where you come to be reminded that you are not alone. You never were.

Tickets are available now at timetofreeamerica.com, and we cannot wait to see you there.
