When you think you cannot accomplish something, please think about George Washington. When you read about what he did, most people think he accomplished the impossible.



Despite having little experience in commanding large, conventional military forces, Washington’s strong leadership presence and fortitude held the American military together long enough to secure victory at Yorktown and independence for his new nation.

Unlike the successful Siege of Boston, the efforts to defend the city of New York ended in near disaster for the Continental Army and the cause of independence.
In what proved to be the largest battle of the Revolutionary War in terms of total combatants, Washington’s forces on August 22, 1776, were flanked out of their positions atop the Gowanus Heights (part of today’s modern Brooklyn) and soundly defeated by William Howe's roughly 20,000 man force on Long Island.

It was during these dark days at the close of 1776 that Thomas Paine’s words from the recently published American Crisis rang most true:

“These are the times that try men’s souls…the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

Ret. Gen. Jack Keane evaluates where President Donald Trump’s Iran strategy stands after multiple days of U.S. strikes against the Iranian regime.

  • Retired Gen. Jack Keane on President Trump's Iran approach following U.S. strikes in early July 2026 that hit over 170 Iranian targets, including air defenses and small boats.
  • The strikes responded to Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump declaring a prior ceasefire over while stating negotiations would continue alongside military pressure.
  • Keane has highlighted Trump's use of targeted bombings and threats as leverage to extract concessions from Iran, stressing the need for ongoing enforcement to counter delays and non-compliance in talks.


  • What lies on the other side of the universe? We can look deep into space and see galaxies billions of light-years away.

    The observable universe—the portion from which light has had time to reach us since the Big Bang—is a sphere centered on Earth with a current radius of about 46.5 billion light-years, for a diameter of roughly 93 billion light-yearsThis figure accounts for the universe's expansion: light from the earliest moments (like the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB) left its source ~13.8 billion years ago, but the space it traveled through has stretched dramatically since then. The light-travel distance alone would suggest only ~13.8 billion light-years, but expansion inflates the current distance to ~46.5 billion light-years in every direction.

    Why the boundary feels mysteriousThere is no physical "edge" or wall at the limit of the observable universe. It's a cosmic horizon set by the finite speed of light and the finite age of the universe (like how Earth's horizon limits what you can see on the ocean, even though more ocean exists beyond it). Beyond this horizon lies more universe—possibly vastly more. Leading models suggest:
    • The full universe could be infinite (especially if space is flat on large scales, as CMB data strongly indicate).
    • Or it could be finite but without boundaries (e.g., like the surface of a higher-dimensional sphere).
    • Inflation theory implies the entire universe is at least hundreds of times larger than the observable part, possibly by enormous factors like 10^23 or more.


    “We will not let Communist Party of China define who we are,” says Taiwan’s Vice President Hsiao Bi-Khim, who has been sanctioned by Beijing and labeled a “separatist.”
