[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. I was lucky in many aspects of this job, including having some truly professional-level officers working for me, highly educated, experienced, and – importantly – dedicated to getting the job… Read More »
[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. I believe that if it were… 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 »
[June 4, 2025] In an opinion article by John Hinderaker, titled The Locus of Evil, he describes Gaza as one of the “most benighted places on Earth.” And there is little doubt that it is the most unenlightened, backward, uncivilized, barbaric, and one of the darkest places in all of humanity. “It has virtually no economy; it is… Read More »
[June 3, 2025] If it were not for a few dedicated followers of the war in Ukraine, I would have missed reporting on Sunday about Ukraine’s attacks deep into Russian territory. Ukraine’s innovative strategy did lasting damage to the Russian government. The question we must now ask: Is Russia burning? From a small number of observers who’ve been… Read More »
[June 2, 2025] Italy’s firebrand Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni is back in the news for taking on France’s President Emmanuel Macron for calling Italy ‘irresponsible’ and ‘disgusting’ over immigration. PM Meloni didn’t just hit back, she slam-dunked Macron. “Emmanuel Macron described us as disgusting, cynics, and irresponsible. And here the Italian press began to ask, ‘Did you hear… Read More »
[June 1, 2025] On Sunday afternoon, July 9, 2006, a small group of Soldiers in civilian dress waited at the airport in El Paso, Texas, for pickup. Arriving at Ft. Bliss, we were dropped off at our barracks, found a bunk, dropped our travel gear, and reported to Building 500A for ACU uniform fitting. After a formation in… Read More »
[May 30, 2025] Recently, I watched a debate on the ethics of abortion. While the classic pro-abortion and anti-abortion positions were not all discussed, I did find the back-and-forth to be illuminating, at least in the way some college students think. On one side is an anti-abortion advocate, and on the other, a pro-abortion advocate. By the way,… Read More »
[May 12, 2025] Courage is rare. This is especially true in modern Western societies where we are used to a peaceful and relatively rice standard of living. Occasionally, a few of us will be presented with a life or death situation where how we act can save a life. In these situations, what would you do? Many may… Read More »
[May 4, 2025] Wow, the memes just keep coming my way. I want to thank many of you for emailing these to me – so you can be “off the record.” Not that, off the record, matters much in our nation’s hyper-sensitive media and their driveling followers. Yes, we do have bad media outlets here in America, and… Read More »
