[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 »
[June 24, 2026] Part of our emotional and intellectual development is to recognize the evil tendencies that characterize us and to wrestle with them and learn to integrate them. We should not cast those evil tendencies away, we should convert them instead to make us stronger. We can see the difference between people who’ve done so and the… Read More »
[June 23, 2026] ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m happy to announce, for the first time here on my website, that there will be a highly popular, three-day event honoring the 250th anniversary of the USA in late September this year.

[June 22 2026] Soldiers use the image of the hero’s perfection to motivate themselves. Self motivation is what people don’t understand about Soldiers, they don’t understand it at least to the degree that Soldiers are uncorrupted. Soldiers are doing everything they can to kneel before the most beloved hero and try to make themselves worthy. You see this… Read More »
[June 21, 2026] Fathers, this Father’s Day is a good time to remember that we stand just one step from history. I learned that from my own Dad, and it’s stayed with me all these years. Our families carry stories of courage, sacrifice, and love of country that are too important to let fade. As fathers, it is… Read More »
[June 20, 2026] We all tend to focus our lives on the exception: vacations or special occasions. That’s foolish. Your life is what you do every day; the mundane things you do every single day. That’s nearly everything you do in your life. You want to get those things right. At your job, maybe you don’t want to… Read More »
[June 19, 2026] America stands at a crossroads in our understanding of history. Juneteenth commemorates a profound moment: June 19, 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3, which enforced the Emancipation Proclamation and declared the enslaved people of Texas free. The order marks the end of slavery in… Read More »
[June 18, 2026] It wasn’t that long ago that a good friend of mine, very accomplished as an Army Captain, gave some great advice to his Lieutenants. He said that leadership is about caring but, what are the elements of caring? Success is in the details and he was going to make it easy for them. He said… Read More »
[June 17, 2026] Yesterday, while undergoing an outpatient surgical procedure, one of the nurses told me that her grandfather was injured on the USS Franklin in 1945 and given last rights. But he lived to tell the tale. We are close to history, and often don’t know it. On March 19, 1945, near Kobe, Japan, Lt. Cmdr. Joseph… Read More »
