[September 26, 2025] Earlier this week, President Donald Trump gave his fifth speech at the United Nations headquarters in New York City. I admit to a bias about the UN. For decades, I had to work with UN representatives. I don’t like them because they are bureaucrats who, at best, get in the way of trying to prevent… Read More »
[September 25, 2025] At some point in Junior High School, students in my hometown were tested for their IQ, and the results were sent home to parents. I presume the purpose was to set future expectations and channel those students into the educational track most suited to their capabilities. With an IQ of 88, I was tracked into… Read More »
[September 23, 2025] I couldn’t let this opportunity go by without commenting on the Charlie Kirk memorial, held this past Sunday. Attendance was massive by any measure; something like 200,000 with about 70,000 in the stadium. Millions more, like myself, watched online and on television. The memorial represents something more profound than perhaps we can imagine. Long before… Read More »
[September 21, 2025] The question many are asking today is whether America is in a Cold War with itself. The question is a good one because there are signs that this is so. The spark that set it off, like many wars, was the assassination of a political figure. In this case, the assassination of conservative Charlie Kirk… Read More »
[September 20, 2025] This morning, in the early hours as I prepare for the last day of honoring our Vietnam Veterans, I watched a clip of Dr. Jordan Peterson discussing the virtue of being a monster. I thought to myself, how appropriate his comments were, because that is what our heroes from that war created, virtuous men who… Read More »
[September 19, 2016] A few years ago, at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., there was a discussion at the most senior levels of the U.S. military on “emerging leaders” and senior leader thinking. I was there. About a dozen new General/Flag officers were being advised on what would be expected of them in their roles. Much is expected… Read More »
[September 17, 2025] A recent Gallup poll in the United States found that almost half say that the government is an “immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens.” While the polling data only goes back to 2003 when the question was first asked, it’s no new revelation. I’ve also written about the decline in the… Read More »
[September 13, 2025] John Hinderaker, a writer for PowerLineBlog.com, put out an article on violence in America. He was on radio and television shows hosted by liberals. He was asked what he thought was the best way to reduce political violence. His answer was to stop calling everyone you disagree with Adolf Hitler. I found it interesting that… Read More »
[September 12, 2025] Both my wife and I were shocked to our core by the news of the political assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. We did not know Charlie except by his works, as he brought common sense and conservative messages to young people. His death is a great loss to humanity. We will be… Read More »
[September 11, 2025] Twelve years ago, I wrote my first short article on The Twelfth 9/11 Anniversary. What is remarkable is how much has changed during those few years. New York City, where I lived at the time, has gone from a strong pro-American city to one that is hard to see the differences from Amsterdam (12.1% Muslim),… Read More »
