[October 5, 2022] My wife and I have been watching several shows that cater to those interested in the lives of cowboys. One recent show, Ultimate Cowboy Showdown (2019 – current), is a competition that judges who is the “best cowboy.” Both men and women compete. In this competition, we see the cowboy code on display and the… Read More »
[October 4, 2022] The American mid-term election is only a month away, and my cell phone is already filling up with text messages, emails, and phone call messages. But 2024 is not that far away either. Some things are predictable, like Hillary Clinton wants to run again in 2024 for President. So does Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and… Read More »
[October 3, 2022] The biggest predictors of lifetime success are intelligence (measured as IQ) and conscientiousness (industriousness and orderliness). There is little you can do about your intelligence except preventing its decline through proper physical exercise. Industriousness and orderliness also have a strong biological component, meaning it will be difficult to gain these traits without hard work. According… Read More »
[October 2, 2022] Unfortunately, the President of the United States is visibly deteriorating mentally before our very eyes. I wrote about Joe Biden’s dementia was not that he has the debilitating disease but how long it will take before he can no longer function. Our problem is that Vice President Kamala Harris has her own problems. She is… Read More »
[October 1, 2022] If you’ve not yet seen videos of Italy’s incoming PM Giorgia Meloni, you should watch a few. You will be inspired (oh, a crucial leader trait). She is a conservative, a rare European political position but one that is under fire because she is a real firebrand speaker and her political position runs counter to… Read More »
[September 30, 2022] I’m not Italian. But my wife Nancy is Italian and also a fan of the Italian operatic pop group Il Volo (the Flight). Last night we attended one of their concepts in Bethlehem, PA., as a sort of wedding anniversary present to ourselves. Their performance was truly incredible and awe-inspiring. Music is a form of… Read More »
[September 29, 2022] Much of the typical poor advice we get about leadership or how to show someone that you really care (a segment of leadership) is completely unusable. But, there is something that will make your leadership better. The next time you find yourself in an argument or in a difficult discussion, try this. Each person can… Read More »
[September 28, 2022] The emotions-based discussion over the value of human life continues throughout America and much of the West. Such a debate is significant because it brings forth some of our most basic values and puts them on public display for all to see and appreciate. I am a supporter of life. And it follows that I… Read More »
[September 26, 2022] “The only way to make this world a better place is to respect each other.” I believe that is false. I believe that we should respect only those who have earned it. If we respect everybody randomly, then what use is respect? Respect is limited to that category of people who have earned respect in… Read More »
[September 25, 2022] Early last week, the Galloway Township Public School formally adopted gender theory into their program for grades K-8. This was a blow to parents who stood against introducing an unproven, malevolent theory into their schools. We are seeing this acted out across the nation. One “Love” t-shirt wearing school board member said that it was… Read More »
