Far-Left Aggression: Disturbing Violence & Its Impact

FROM THE FRONT LINES: A Marine's Journey from Congressional Candidate to Constitutional Crisis
When a decorated United States Marine who survived three combat tours tells you Washington D.C. is beyond saving, you'd better listen. This isn't conspiracy theory nonsense—this is hard-won battlefield intelligence from someone who's seen both war zones and the political swamp up close.
Craig McMichael doesn't mince words. After ten years in the Corps, including boots on the ground in Afghanistan with General Mattis taking Kandahar, this Texas patriot thought he could bring that warrior mentality to Congress. He ran twice against an eighteen-year incumbent, learning brutal lessons about what really controls our so-called representatives. Spoiler alert: it isn't you or the Constitution.
In this nearly three-hour conversation with Pruitt on The Defiance Daily Show, McMichael dismantles every comfortable illusion Americans still cling to about fixing our broken federal system. From the $37.8 trillion debt that nobody actually understands (seriously, do you?) to the cultural rot destroying communities faster than any foreign enemy could, this is the conversation your college-educated neighbors desperately need to hear but won't.
McMichael brings receipts. Twenty-nine years in IT and nine years in cybersecurity mean he understands systems—how they work, how they fail, and when they're corrupted beyond repair. His analysis of why good men get eaten alive by the D.C. machine isn't defeatist—it's realistic. There's a difference, and if you don't know it, you're part of the problem.
This isn't your typical political podcast where everyone pretends another election cycle will magically restore the Republic. McMichael and Pruitt tackle the hard questions most "conservatives" are too comfortable to ask: What happens when twenty to thirty percent of Americans depend on federal handouts that suddenly stop? Why are we pretending a nation of three hundred million armed citizens isn't sitting on a powder keg? And most importantly—what's the actual constitutional path forward when the Constitution itself has been trampled for over a century?
The conversation ranges from the Founding Fathers' original intent (actual quotes from Madison and Franklin, not Wikipedia summaries) to why your local school board is probably run by communists, to the real reason why the Texas Nationalist Movement terrifies Austin politicians. McMichael doesn't offer easy answers because there aren't any. But he does offer something increasingly rare: honest analysis from someone who's earned the right to speak hard truths.
Fair warning: This isn't comfort food for conservatives who think Trump alone can save America. This is black coffee reality for men who understand that liberty requires constant vigilance and sometimes hard choices. McMichael's journey from Marine to political candidate to advocate for Texas independence mirrors what many Americans are quietly starting to realize—sometimes the best way to save what you love is to let go of what's already dead.
Whether you're ready to hear it or not, the federal government isn't fixable. The question isn't "can we reform Washington?" It's "what are we prepared to do when the whole house of cards collapses?" McMichael has answers. They won't make you comfortable, but truth rarely does.
