[July 12, 2026] As we walk through life, as we normally do, there are things that will call out to us. If we pursue them, they will take us on a deep journey. It doesn’t matter so much what calls; what matters most is that we pursue it and we pursue it. And that pursuit means that if… Read More »
[July 8, 2026] This is the face of leadership failure: Anthea Harris, Director of the National Museum of American History (NMAH). The White House’s Domestic Policy Council reports that the NMAH has abandoned its founding mission of patriotic education for activist ideology. Its capture by anti-American leftists is now complete. Established to celebrate American heritage, progress, freedom, and ingenuity, NMAH… Read More »
[July 7, 2026] Italian actor Roberto Benigni once said, in all seriousness, “I thank my parents for the greatest gift of all: poverty.” He said this in his acceptance speech for the Best Actor Oscar in 1999 for Life is Beautiful (La vita è bella), referring to his humble upbringing in a small Italian village. Psychologically, the quote… Read More »
[July 5, 2026] Like I normally do, my article today was written yesterday (July 4th). I’m typing with tired fingers after our huge Fourth of July Parade here in my hometown of Galloway, and being physically exhausted from the effort. Things get harder as we get older, and I’m much older than back in my Army days. Thankfully,… Read More »
[July 2, 2026] I was recently asked to write a short article about my experience with the most infamous stretch of road in Iraq: Route Irish. I’ll do my best to talk about surviving on that road. While pulling out my notes, I was mentally transported back to my unit’s deployment to Baghdad in early March 2024, to… Read More »
[July 1, 2026] And we wonder why America won its independence from Britain. UK police arrested a clothing store’s plastic mannequin for wearing “immodest clothes.” Okay, they didn’t actually arrest it; they confiscated it, put it in a police van, and drove it off to jail, guarded by at least a dozen police officers. It is reported that… Read More »
[June 29, 2026] Shocking headlines in America have, for years, claimed that 40% of kids can’t read. That is not true, but what is really happening is nearly as bad. This misconception starts with the 40% figure from annual tests given to fourth graders, but this means they can’t read at what is called a “basic level.” What… Read More »
[June 28, 2026] It’s late Saturday night and I’m tired. What made me so tired? First off, I was nervous about traveling out to the western side of New Jersey (yeah, only a little over an hour drive) to attend a U.S. Marine O-6 level change of command. For those who’ve spent any time in the military, know… Read More »
[June 26, 2026] I am amazed and thrilled that the severely damaged textual scrolls from parts of ancient cultures are now being read. It now looks like we will be able to read the voices from 2,000 years ago. One example are the scrolls found in the Lost Library of Herculaneum. The problem, of course, is trying to… Read More »
[June 25, 2026] Hat tip to John Hinderaker at PowerLineBlog.com on his article about how ANTIFA thugs got long prison sentences for attacking an ICE facility in Texas. I found his comments about them both entertaining and enlightening. File this under ANTIFA gets justice. “Antifa is a violent insurrectionist organization that can reasonably be seen as the militant… Read More »
