[February 20, 2026] There are travelers, and there are tourists. Tourists see the sights but miss the country. Travelers see the country—and the sights, too. In Cornwall, in the United Kingdom, locals have an old pejorative term for tourists: “emmet,” which literally means “ant.” It paints a vivid picture of those annoying out-of-towners who clog the roads and… Read More »
[February 19, 2026] Most Americans have never been comfortable with discrimination, regardless of the setting—be it an institution or a business—or the reason, such as race, gender, or religion. However, U.S. discrimination was once state-sponsored and overt, and we are now realizing the negative impact this had even on those the system was ostensibly designed to ‘help.’ The… Read More »
[February 18, 2026] As a follow-up from yesterday’s article on AI benefits, today I’ll briefly discuss the disadvantages. Of course, AI also offers tremendous benefits, but it also comes with significant disadvantages and risks. These concerns have become more prominent as AI adoption has accelerated in recent years (including into 2025–2026 trends). Below is an overview of the… Read More »
[February 17, 2026] I asked Grok 4.0 what were the advantages of Artificial Intelligence. What you read below is AI generated. We should not, in any way, be surprised at what we might gain with AI.

[February 16, 2026] In 1994, when Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein published their book The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life, it immediately prompted widespread criticism.

By ‘positively skewed,’… Read More »
[February 15, 2026] Cuba has been falling apart for decades, ever since Fidel Castro’s revolutionaries overthrew dictator Batista. Now, Cuba is only hanging on by its fingernails. With President Trump’s oil embargo, the country’s lifeline has been severed. This is why America prepares for the collapse of Cuba. What is amazing is that Cuba could be run so… Read More »
[February 14, 2026] In America, for the past few years, there has been a quiet movement afoot that will help determine the future of these United States. The movement is in opposition to the emergence of Sharia Law, as practiced in many nations. Ban Sharia Law is a movement gaining fast, in particular in the American South and… Read More »
[February 13, 2026] We should not be surprised by what happens in a Baltimore school. The education system has been in free fall for decades. Recently, a student was sent back from his senior year, 12th grade, to the 9th grade. Shocking? Nope, not at all. In a WBFF Fox 45 News story, it is reported that in… Read More »
[February 12, 2026] Most of us grew up with some basic rules that our parents had for us kids. One of them was “Don’t Lie.” There are many reasons for this rule, maybe reasons our parents did not fully understand, but what they did know was that lying has incredibly destructive consequences. And when a lie is perpetuated… Read More »
[February 11, 2026] In one of my earliest articles on this website, I wrote that leaders must have unequivocal clarity in communication. There is no substitute for doing so, not just in leaders, but for all of us. Every officer I have ever known in our military, and that of our allies, did their best to speak clearly… Read More »
