[November 25, 2025] Used to living open lives, the best leaders know the unremitting fact that people will see their weaknesses … and people will also comment on those weaknesses.

[November 22, 2025] In a recent PowerLineBlog post by John Hinderaker, I became aware of the preventable torture and murder of 10-year old Sara Sharif. In Britain, this case became public because of failures by government agency employees.

[November 7, 2025] Canadian songwriter Leonard Cohen wrote the lyrics to his song “The Captain,” published in 1984. The poem is unsettling and dark. Ultimately, it’s about war, moral ambiguity, and the most difficult choices we must make.

[November 5, 2025] I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was headed to the local grocery store after finding a good parking spot. And it was cloudy with a mild Winter breeze.

[November 3, 2025] Since the late 1990s, feminist Dr. Camilla Paglia has been one of the leading critics of feminism. She sees 3 main failures of modern feminism.

[November 2, 2025] Here I am, minding my own business, checking out with a dozen bagels when a young woman behind me appears with a nose ring. Automatically, I think of her as a whacko, mindless, nasty person. Was I stereotyping her? Yes. The stereotype was correct and her subsequent actions proved it. I was following what is… Read More »
[October 31, 2025] On this Halloween Day (or night), I thought it most appropriate to bring up Dr. Jordan Peterson’s advice on how to live a life that goes well. He says that to increase the “probability that things will unfold for you properly, is to not lie.” Yes! Just stop lying. Halloween is about showing an outer… Read More »
[October 27, 2025] I was intrigued by the view of a North Korean defector who watched an American War movie: Saving Private Ryan. Her perspective on “war movies” and the differences how the Hermit Nation addresses war versus how America views it, was startling, and indicative of how Communists view human existence. Hanaya’s takeaway is that we must learn… Read More »
[October 25, 2025] In the early 1970s, I competed in several motorsport races held on rural public roads in West Texas. The popular name at that time was “Rally Sports.” These were races that tested the limits of both the car and the driver due to long distances, varied terrain, and nonstop effort except for refueling.

[October 22, 2025] I’ve highlighted Dewayne Noel of Dry Creek Wrangler School before, and folks seem to appreciate his down-to-earth, philosophical style. In another video, he starts by telling a story about visiting his grandmother in Kentucky and learning a valuable life lesson: how the struggle shapes you. In this episode, he says that sometimes we have to… Read More »
