"Do I Work for the CIA?"
Recently, someone stared deeply into my eyes and asked me point-blank, "You're working for the CIA, aren't you? You're too smart not to be."
I took my glasses off and returned the gaze...
"Look closely into my eyes," I assured them, "I am just me... Doug Frank."
"The closest I ever came to such things was when I was the 297th person on the internet as part of the DarpaNet development grant, was recipient of Air Force research funds during my academic career, and afterward when I built two custom electron microscopes for some military research applications."
"I'm just me..."
"...but I do help people from time to time."

“Vote Amish!”
I brought my little princess with me to an Indiana speaking event. She calls these “field trips,” and we dance and sing along the way.

"Home Visits"
Since 2021, I've been on the road about 25 of 30 days each month fighting to reclaim our country from corrupt elections.
Being away from my family is tough, but a minor sacrifice compared with what others have sacrificed for us to have the liberty we've enjoyed.
A fringe benefit of being away is that each time I'm home, my wife's kisses are extra sweet, the hugs from my sons solid, and the selfies with Nellie are extra special.
I'm not complaining... it is an honor to serve God and Country.

"Paradigm Shift"
After years of wimpy, milquetoast leadership, I can understand how our nation's recent military exploits could come as a shock to some.
So much wealth and luxury have produced generations of people who have no idea what the real world is like.
Well, now you know.
The world is full of people and nations who hate America so much that there is only one way to deal with them if we want to protect our families, our friends, and our nation.
It is bloody and nasty, I know.
But it is reality.
The Old Testament describes situations where the Israelites were commanded to destroy entire cities: men, women, children, animals, buildings... total destruction.
Taking no prisoners--obliteration.
And God knows what He is doing. And God is just. And God is loving.
Sometimes, evil simply must be obliterated.

“Love”
If someone breaks into my home, threatening my family and property, I will not hesitate to kill them. Likely with a semi-automatic twelve gauge.
Not because I hate them.
But because I love my family, and because anyone who does this sort of thing is likely to do it again, threatening other innocent families as well.
My actions are not merely in self-defense, but also in defense of my friends and my community.
Similarly, when someone has molested a child, we should execute them or put them away for life. Not out of hate, or revenge, or punishment, but because they have already severely damaged one life and are likely to damage others.
By their actions they have forfeited their own right to life. We dispose of such persons not out of hate, but out of love for the potential future victims.
Out of respect for life, we end a life.
Similarly, we must cripple or destroy nations who murder protesters in their own country and who have sworn to kill Americans and our allies.
Out of respect for life, we must end lives.

“La-La-Land”
It’s easy for someone to sit fat and comfortable in their easy chair and pontificate how evil war is. To criticize leaders who have access to more intelligence and who have to make the tough decisions. It’s easy to remain in La-La-Land, with a worldview far removed from reality.
But the reason these ingrates have the privilege of doing so is because of the tens of millions of people who have been slaughtered or willingly given their blood and treasure to purchase their present liberty.
We are born in debt to those who have sacrificed before us, and are therefore obligated to protect and pass along the liberty we’ve enjoyed to our posterity.
It’s the same old debate: We tend to be lazy and self-centered, and we love peace and hate war. And because of this we procrastinate, allowing evil to thrive and grow to the point where we are then forced to address it. The earlier we wake up and address evil, the more people will oppose taking action against it. The later we address evil, the more people will have to die in order to extinguish it.
A leader needs to make the tough call. By acting earlier against popular opinion more lives are potentially saved. Acting later is easier, because the evil is more obvious, so there is less popular opposition.
The choices are difficult, and the public has incomplete information. So the best we can do is to elect people we trust to represent us, and pray that God will give them wisdom.
What comforts me is the pride Trump showed in ending wars during his first term, and the tears he’s shed describing the war in Ukraine. I believe Trump hates war.
For forty years, every president has drawn the line for Iran: they may not have nuclear weapons because they have sworn to obliterate Israel and to kill Americans. And they’ve been prosecuting a war of terrorism the entire time.
When Iran began slaughtering their own citizens (over 30,000 in the last few months), Trump said to the Iranians, “Hold on, we’re coming to help.” Many have criticized him for taking so long. But Trump is a man of his word, and one does not willy-nilly attack another nation. After careful preparations and working closely with Israel he has delivered on his promise.
After forty years and many lives lost, we are finally addressing evil.
Kyrie eleison.
