[September 17, 2023] Today is the anniversary of the Civil War battle at Antietam, September 17, 1862. There are some lessons we can take away from this battle and I will get to them in a moment. I must first emphasize that it is the general ignorance of history that is not just an embarrassment for us Americans… Read More »
[September 16, 2023] Picture, just for the moment, the legendary Marine or Army Drill Sergeant screaming into the face of a young recruit. The purpose has always been to “toughen ‘em up” and to “get their full undivided attention.” And, of course, that is precisely what it did; it made them more resilient against stress (mentally stronger) and… Read More »
[September 13, 2023] Rachel Zegler, the actress who plays Snow White in an upcoming Disney movie, is destroying herself and this movie’s prospects with her lack of humility. Zegler is an example of where Woke ideology meets reality. After facing a growing backlash against her and the movie for her ignorant, insulting, and abusive comments, she predictably claims… Read More »
[September 12, 2023] There’s an old saying in the U.S. military, “Don’t walk by a mistake.” The reason is that a leader who ignores a mistake lowers their standards and says it is acceptable not to follow military policies, guidance, or basic rules and procedures. This is, they note, the first step toward an undisciplined and useless military… Read More »
[September 11, 2023] Ten years ago, USAF Colonel Scott DeThomas, 6th Air Mobility Wing, gave a 9/11 speech that took the nation by storm. His comments went viral and can still be appreciated today. Here is what he said that day. Always, Always remember 9/11. Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and veterans from across the area. Webster’s dictionary… Read More »
[September 9, 2023] A cursory read of my daily blog will lead you to quickly discover that much of my work is heavily influenced by Dr. Jordan Peterson. His work is most helpful to ordinary people because he has a coherent, positive message on living a meaningful life. You can read his “42 Rules for Life” here and… Read More »
[September 6, 2023] It’s hard to make this up. Social media content creator Pearl Davis has been giving us some great ideas about how women function from a woman’s point of view. She is interesting and funny and has also taken a lot of heat from feminists who think she is anti-woman. I disagree with the anti-woman description… Read More »
[September 5, 2023] I’m a fan of movie critic Scotsman Will Jordan, aka The Critical Drinker. I like how he slams modern films because they are written by immature, narcissistic, selfish, woke man-children. Last year, I wrote about one of his videos explaining why modern movies suck (link here), and it was very popular. Today, I’m highlighting something… Read More »
[September 3, 2023] My friend, Eddie, asked me to write about forgiveness two weeks ago. Eddie is a very religious man, and I could have taken that route to discuss the act of forgiveness, but I wanted to look back in time and take another look at this essential idea. I plan to write about forgiveness again as… Read More »
[September 1, 2023] Nick Freitas has some common sense commentary on child predators and is brutally clear that the best way to protect children from them is with strong, capable, dangerous fathers. I like a recent YouTube video (5:27 minutes, link here) where he talks about this. Last month, I wrote about child predator Jack Reynolds, advising on… Read More »
