[October 19, 2025] It’s been a few weeks since I posted a “Sunday Morning in Pictures” entry, so here it is. I get more views on these Sunday posts than on any other type.

[October 18, 2025] Sometimes you face a problem that seems impossible to solve. That is what happened to Railway Engineer Joseph Bazalgette. In the early 1800s, London was plagued by a disgusting and overwhelming issue.

[October 17, 2025] It is hard to believe that highly educated leaders in public schools would intentionally and knowingly break Civil Rights laws, but it has happened. In several Minneapolis high schools, there are courses being offered that are restricted to Black students only. From the Washington Free Beacon, reporter Jessica Schwalb writes: “Several Minneapolis public high schools… Read More »
[October 14, 2025] Eight peace deals in eight months. I’m sure that’s a world record, untouched by anyone.

Who was responsible for making this peace deal happen? It was President… Read More »

[October 10, 2025] A few years ago, I wrote several electronic books on “Good Habits for Leaders.” The latest edition is posted here, and after all this time, it remains up to date.

[October 9, 2025] In an interview with Bill Maher and Jordan Peterson, they discuss why the Bible is the most influential and best-selling book of all time. During this conversation between these two intelligent men, Maher questions whether the Bible is comically stupid. “They love the Bible [referring to his relatives] and it’s the greatest book, and they… Read More »
[October 8, 2025] There is no denying that Hamas invaded Israel with the intent to murder, torture, and decapitate Jews in their twisted genocide ambitions. Yet, despite their ongoing evil in our time, Hamas continues to be supported by Western Leftist elites. Scott Johnson, in a well-written article, quotes William Shirer in the foreword of The Rise and… Read More »
[October 7, 2025] Ever since the first battle among humans, the best lesson of winning was to have the leader present, front and center.
