[June 14, 2025] Israel’s preemptive attack on Iran’s leadership and nuclear infrastructure this past Thursday was the beginning of an effort to neuter Iran completely; the purpose can only be regime change.

[June 12, 2025] Of all my combat tours in the Iraq War, this one would provide my Facilities team and me with the greatest responsibilities and hardest challenges.

[June 8, 2025] Attending the ninth grade, at a Little Rock junior high school, a teacher called over to me, yelling “Hey you, retard.” I was setting up starting blocks for an upcoming 50-yard dash event at the outdoor track. “Yeah you, retard.” He was going to chew me out for setting the blocks incorrectly.

[June 7, 2025] I was fortunate to have close friends who were really smart and willing to help me use their intellectual skills. And, of course, they all had high IQ scores, I know because I could tell. We often sat around discussing various topics, those as political, moral, and religious ideas.

When the Americans joined the… Read More »
[June 5, 2025] I often hear that America’s education system is failing. And there is considerable evidence to support that claim, and perhaps that is why there is an effort to cut Federal funding to colleges that allow illiterate students to attend. With the problem of college-based Leftist indoctrination to the side, colleges have lowered their academic standards… Read More »
