Three dead American soldiers in Jordan. That is the heartbreaking issue my fellow Americans. The ground forces at bases in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, have no mission. They really haven’t for years. We’ve call for their redeployment home for years, ever since President Donald Trump completely defeated the ISIS Califate. These troops are nothing more than sitting ducks, tripwires to justify wider escalation of a Middle East war that would never have happened if Trump was President. There are many questions about the attack that have yet to be answered. Initial reports about how and why this tragedy was allowed to happen indicate there may have been some incompetence in decisions and training issues. We discuss those and what the future should look like for us in the Middle East with retired Navy Commander and attack pilot Dr Randy Arrington.Check out our FaithNFreedoms Collection below!

Michigan republicans elected former Ambassador Pete Hoekstra as the new state Chairman in a contentious bid to replace Kristina Karamo. As we see from that opening video she says all the right things but what was wrong with her? Former President Donald Trump said in an endorsement statement “I look forward to working with Ambassador Pete Hoekstra as Chairman of The Republican Party of Michigan. He is a winner who was a GREAT Congressman from Michigan and, likewise, did a fantastic job as Ambassador to the Netherlands. Pete will make The Republican Party of Michigan GREAT AGAIN.” Former Presidential candidate Perry Johnson said “This is incredible news for the MIGOP. Pete Hoekstra has the knowledge, wisdom, and political acumen to take us across the finish line both during the primary and general elections that will take place later this year.” My guest today is Perry Johnson. Mr. Johnson is a self-made businessman who has created more 80 companies worldwide after he developed the quality control methodology that helped save the American auto industry🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

There is a truck convoy on the Southern border right now organized under the name of Take Our Border Back. On their website they say the “Southern border convoy is a 3-state Rally. Call for peaceful assembly and prayer, calling all active & retired law enforcement and military, Veterans, Mama Bears, elected officials, business owners, ranchers, truckers, bikers, media and law abiding, freedom-loving Americans. They say the time is now for we the people to peacefully assemble in honor of our u.s. constitution and bill of rights. to call on our government to act for we the people and secure our southern border.” I don’t disagree with them and pray the Mayorkas impeachment is successful, having passed out of committee last night. Our national security is at very high risk given 10s of thousands of military aged males from adversary countries have illegally crossed our southern border under sleepy joe biden. Today we get some reporting from the border because my guest today is Dr Randy Arrington, a former Deputy Director for the Department of Homeland Security Maritime operations and retired US Navy Commander.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

We saw the Declaration for Military Accountability release on January 1st 2024 by military citizens demanding accountability in our government but before that, the Re-declaration of Independence effort started in the fall of 2023. From their website “The Re-Declaration of Independence is a national petition for Representative accountability. We are officially petitioning our government and it’s representatives for redress.  Our Elected Representatives have failed “We the People” and The Washington, D.C. Establishment, have become “the Men of King George”. We citizens, of these United States are now pawns in the Washington, D.C. empire scheme, much as the American Colonies had become vassal states to the British Empire. Sadly, history DOES repeat itself, especially for those who ignore its teachings. It’s time to recommit to the vows of Liberty that our Founders took 250 years ago. Only through a collective effort backed by millions of Liberty Loving Americans, can we hope to peacefully guide America back to its Founding Values by forcing change in our representation.” My guest today is the primary drafter of the re-declaration Barry Hinckley. "Barry" Hinckley is a great grandson of Colonel James Barrett, Commander of the Minute Men who engaged the British in 1775 at the North Bridge in Concord, Ma. Coincidently he was born on April 18th, the day the riders left Boston to alert the Minute Men. He is also a software entrepreneur, having co-founded Bullhorn Software. Barry was a former US Senate Candidate from Rhode Island vs Sheldon Whitehouse. Barry has been active in pursuing limited government and constitutional values since the Tea Party Movement in Boston in 2008, which though much maligned by the mainstream media, in hindsight predicted much of the problems our nation is facing today.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

General Minihan took a lot of heat, as did those of us who agreed with his approach, for having the audacity to actually order his forces to prepare for war with China over the Taiwan issue. Well it turns out he may have been wrong, but only about the year China would move. As dawn broke this morning in the United States, breaking news reporting revealed China has stationed four warships around the island nation. Taiwan’s recent election of a pro-independence president is a big potential trigger point for China’s President Xi to move forward quickly and take Taiwan by force. China’s alliance with Iran and Russia, strengthened in the last two years by our own decisions pushing them closer together over the Ukraine war, could be the reason why increasing pressure by Iranian forces in the middle east is ramping up on the US and her allies through the attacks on US forces since Oct 7 2023. I said at the time of Minihan’s memo that I thought China would move earlier than 2025 in order to avoid having a President Trump in office and it looks like 2024 might just be the year. Friend of the show retired Army Colonel John Mills has spent the last few weeks in Taiwan and joins us today to discuss what we will be seeing from China if they are going to invade Taiwan this year.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

This from the Epoch Times: “Retired Army Officer Says He Was Barred From Publicly Recognizing ‘Woke’ Policies Are Harming Recruitment. The Pentagon is aware of how progressive policies are contributing to the U.S. Army’s falling short of its recruiting goals, but those on the inside are prohibited from publicly acknowledging this, according to a recently retired Army major. More than a year after replying on behalf of the U.S. Army Recruiting Command to an inquiry from The Epoch Times about the Army’s recruitment struggles, retired Maj. Charles “Chase” Spears reached out again. Mr. Spears wanted to share an unbridled explanation of the state of recruiting in the Army, which finished 2023 with 55,000 new recruits, significantly short of the 65,000 it had aimed for in the fiscal year. Barred from speaking about these issues, Mr. Spears said he was “disappointed” and “frustrated.” He often wondered whether there was “an ulterior motive” for denying him the ability to share the information. Mr. Spears and his family had planned for him to fulfill a 30-year career, but in October 2022, he chose to retire after two decades of service. Now a Doctoral Candidate at Kansas State University, Spears dissertation is studying the reality of the military as a political entity. Former US Army Recruiting Command Spokesman and Major Chase Spears is also a signatory of the Declaration of Military Accountability is my guest today.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

Since January First of 2024 when we saw a new generation of Americans decide to take a stand and live up to the values and actions of our founding fathers when the American people were sent an open letter with the Declaration of Military Accountability more reasons why we need military accountability revealed themselves. The Secretary of Defense broke policy and the law by not advising the President he was in the hospital, military leadership is going after whistleblowers on the vaccine injury data again, and news articles openly advocating the military disobey lawful orders if Donald Trump is re-elected President are just a few examples. We must all be passionate about the DMA effort because this single institution, the US military, is the core of everything that is a free America. If it remains blindly following partisan political ideologies instead of serving and defending our constitution, the country is lost. Today my guest is a signer and co-author of the declaration too. Former US Army LTCOL and battalion commander Brad Miller who resigned from the service within months of reaching retirement eligibility. Brad welcome back to The Rob Maness Show. 🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

The American people were sent an open letter with the Declaration of Military Accountability attached. The declaration is signed by 231 active, retired, and former members of the US Armed Forces who are calling for a return to accountability in the institution we serve, the Department of Defense and our services. Yes, I said we because I am a signatory of the declaration and proud of it. Our view is to reflect on the founders’ values and ask the American people to step up and demand military accountability because we have exhausted all internal attempts at remedies for holding the senior officers and enlisted members accountable for their actions in issuing and enforcing illegal orders, especially through the illegal COVID-19 vaccine mandate on the armed forces by President Joe Biden. We are passionate about our effort because this single institution, the US military is the core of everything that is a free America. If it remains blindly following partisan political ideologies instead of serving and defending our constitution, the country is lost. Today my guest are both signers of the declaration too. Former US Army 1Lt Mark Bashaw was court martialed for his efforts to keep leadership on the narrow path of honor and fidelity to the law, former US Army Drill Sergeant John Delarm, who was forced out of the service within two years of reaching retirement, as was Lt Bashaw.

Prior to October 7th 2023, claims of rising antisemitism in the United States in my opinion were generally blamed on what I called a mythical “white supremacy” because the publicly available data just didn’t seem to support the claim. I was right but only in one aspect because since Oct 7 we have seen ant-semitic acts increase dramatically, with students and families being accosted in public places, both verbally and physically. You see where I was wrong was with white supremacy, the issue isn’t “white supremacists” as we traditionally think about them, you know, neo-Nazi’s, the KKK etc, but with a very diverse coalition of people of color and white liberal extremists. The striking thing is that we knew about Islamic antisemitism and the others, but the underlying support by white liberals we now see fully supporting the atrocities of Hamas, has exposed a reality in America catching a lot of folks by surprise. They shouldn’t be surprised though because even groups like the Anti-defamation league and elite universities like Harvard, have actively spread the propaganda and indoctrinated their members/students for decades. So much so that publicly threatening, attacking, and shaming Jewish people is now seemingly the norm among our younger generation today. My guest today is Dr Andrew Bostom, author of The Legacy Of Islamic Antisemitism.🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.

Lawfare is an aggressive use of the justice system to suppress information, intimidate citizens, and interfere with legitimate public processes such as an election. The United States government is practicing it on steroids as we see the Department of Justice continuously go after Donald Trump in the middle of his presidential campaign, It is so blatant that the Special Prosecutor is openly trying to align trial dates with major primary dates. Not surprising, many of these so-called attorneys don’t even know the constitution they say they are defending. Doj isn’t working alone though, the Department of Homeland Security is actually practicing a form of lawfare against every American citizen by its abuse of immigration laws on the books to bring in millions of illegal aliens, destroying America’s shared cultural values and burdening government assistance systems while not getting enough benefits to Americans in a timely manner, such as homeless veterans. We’re excited to have as our guest former US DOJ Double Assistant Attorney General and Center For Renewing America Senior Fellow Jeff Clark. 🇺🇸Colonel's Brief is a reader-supported publication.
