[June 30, 2026] I recently did a basic review of The Meditations by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, but I felt that I’d not given it enough attention. Here, I’m going to try and correct that by giving a little more of my personal take on it. Bare with me, as I plow myself through. In PDF format link… 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 27, 2026] One of the advantages of targeted self-education is to know who to listen to, who can narrate a good story, and who makes sense out of a confusing world.

[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. The group making this all happen consciously chose a date well after the 4th of July so as not to conflict… Read More »
[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 »
