[September 12, 2026] This is the day many of my readers have been asking for. I’m officially announcing a new book, due out sometime late next month. Assuming all goes well, expect it to be published and out on Amazon. I still have a few hurdles to overcome, but I’m making progress. The title will be: “Growing Up… Read More »
[September 9, 2026] Pound cake was my favorite. In the summer of 1983, I attended the Infantry Officer Course at Ft. Benning, GA. As part of this 200-man training company, one Second Lieutenant was known to us all as the connoisseur of C-Rations. Two hundred “second looies” (or “butter bars” as they are better known) were a sight… Read More »
[September 6, 2026] It’s been since late June since I last posted a Sunday Morning in Pictures. My wife says I’m “too serious” again. Fair enough.

[September 3, 2026] In eight days, we will be honoring those who died in the most horrific and unprovoked attack on American soil this century.

[August 30, 2026] Matthew Continetti’s piece “Inoculated Against Tyranny” is worth reading and thinking about. He says the American Revolution did not turn into a slaughterhouse because the men who made it built walls around power and left room for God. That is not a small claim. It is the difference between a country that still stands and… Read More »

[August 17, 2026] My favorite leader of all time is Hopalong Cassidy. He was a cowboy and a TV fictional character on a show by the same name; that came out in the late 1940s. I liked him because he always got the bad guy without ever sacrificing his morals or getting his friends killed. He was the… Read More »
[August 15, 2026] As regular readers of my website know, I don’t endorse politicians because most are untrustworthy. Congressman Brandon Gill is an exception. I don’t know him personally, but I’ve seen him work on Capitol Hill, and I like what I see. Regardless of where you live, and only if you’re an American citizen, please contribute to… Read More »
[August 13, 2026] I recently came across a classic Prof. Jordan Peterson lecture on the Daily Wire as he discussed the power of writing about your own future.
