[February 3, 2026] There is an old message from our past, and also profound advice, that says to us, don’t remain silent when you have something to say.

[February 2, 2026] In the late 1970s, during the disco dance craze, my girlfriend asked me to take dance classes so I could dance with her. I was terrible at first. At least I agreed to try, and in doing so, I certainly looked like a complete idiot. That’s when I learned to be willing to play the… Read More »
[February 1, 2026] Ken LaCorte runs a social media platform where he “takes on controversial topics.” I like that about anyone who is also a likely brutal truth teller. LaCorte takes on the topic that has been in the news lately, why are liberal women so unhappy? It turns out that they really are. See the full video… Read More »
[January 31, 2026] Science is changing the way we view our most ancient ancestors, the Neanderthals. In a video by Highly Compelling, he refers to this as the Neanderthal Problem That Scientists Don’t Want to Discuss. The “problem” is that our understanding of human development is wrong.

[January 30, 2026] Since the days of being a babe (early 1950s), I would sit in front of a small black and white television set watching a children’s series, The Howdy Doody Show.

It doesn’t matter whether you are young or old, smart or ignorant, good-looking or ugly, big or small; each of us has something worthwhile to give to our families, communities, or our nation. We also have a moral obligation to do so, not in a way that points fingers,… Read More »
[January 28, 2026] The dead. Like so many kids, I had a morbid interest in death and in those things that can kill you. From tales told by my Mom that I had a preference for thrilling experiences, a curiosity for “scary things,” and this meant I wanted a shrunken head for my twelfth birthday. I didn’t want… Read More »
[January 27, 2026] I thought it was most appropriate today to share an idea that’s been on my mind since the anti-ICE riots started in Minnesota. In ChangingMinds.org, the authors list 36 military stratagems, and I’ll focus on one of them – #20 Fish in Troubled Waters to show how on-the-ground tactics are working for the “protestors.” This… Read More »
[January 26, 2026] As a little boy raised in the Deep South, I was moved by the culture of the South and proud of its military traditions. Like many of my friends and those boys before me, we were also disappointed that the South had lost the Civil War. But, I would study this “War Between the States”… Read More »
[January 25, 2026] As Winter Storm Fern [an ironic name] races across the country, it means now is the time for snow memes. Remember, I’m a true Southerner in body and in accent, but living in the “North” gives me a weird perspective on winter. I find that wintery snow storms are an admixture of cold, beauty, danger,… Read More »
