[May 15, 2023] Being a leader means remembering that you are there for a reason, and the reason is not about having everything your way. Several of my readers asked that I compile a list of traits that destroy trust. Below is a list of some of these traits, each commonly encountered in poor leaders. Controlling: a greater… Read More »
[May 14, 2023] As we walked out of a U.S. Marine Major General’s office, a good friend told me, “There are too many army Generals in this world.” This General was a real SOB, but he got the job done, which was a valuable skill. Generals? Eventually, they retire. One recently asked for a helping hand, as he… Read More »
[May 13, 2023] On the lighter side of life, today I will deviate from my typical article and hit on Tom Pemberton Farm Life. Tom is a UK farmer with a good sense of what a cow wants and knows how to make 100 of his cows happy. Humor, much like art, is to be searched out. Often,… Read More »
[May 12, 2023] Our betters in the media and government are telling us that we should stop calling “terrorism” by the term terrorism. We all see the world elite working to help us not see the truth, and they are on the front lines of this every day. “You don’t want to be too judgmental. You don’t want… Read More »
[May 11, 2023] When I hear jets overhead, I think back to my combat time when fighter jets were a daily affair. Of course, I know the difference in the sound of a fighter jet – in this case, an F16-C – versus large cargo or commercial airliners. When the fighter jets fly, I think of them as… Read More »
[May 10, 2023] These last few weeks have given us plenty of things to laugh about and make fun of, especially for those who enjoy watching hypocrisy in action. Yes, we are all hypocrites, often as children (which may be excused somewhat) but also as adults. Progressive leftists use this as a bludgeon on their political enemies, and… Read More »
[May 8, 2023] A Bug’s Life is a 1998 Disney/Pixar movie about one little ant as he searches for a brave band of warriors to help battle the bullying grasshoppers who threaten his home. Today, there is a budding campaign in America to eat bugs to replace meat in our diets, more precisely, in your diet. Radical leftists… Read More »
[May 8, 2023] On Earth Day 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden claimed he wants “all Pentagon vehicles to be electric by 2030.” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm reiterated this objective a few days ago. Those who are sane know that the U.S. military can’t convert to all-electric vehicles in seven years. It’s a breathtakingly foolhardy idea. “We’re going to… Read More »
[May 7, 2023] For me, it is hard to imagine the evils of World War II, the heroics, the unity, and the development of technology for all purposes of warfare, food production, and transportation. As a kid, I lived with many of these veterans and was told stories that fascinate me today. One of those stories was the… Read More »
[May 6, 2023] I ran across a great story on Quora a few days ago, and I thought readers would like it as much as I did. It is titled, The Greatest Stories Ever Told and posted by Richard Strachan. I prefer to call it; Cows Don’t Give Milk. You will see why. Here is the post in… Read More »
