[June 21, 2026] Fathers, this Father’s Day is a good time to remember that we stand just one step from history. I learned that from my own Dad, and it’s stayed with me all these years.

[June 20, 2026] We all tend to focus our lives on the exception: vacations or special occasions. That’s foolish. Your life is what you do every day; the mundane things you do every single day. That’s nearly everything you do in your life. You want to get those things right. At your job, maybe you don’t want to… Read More »
[June 19, 2026] America stands at a crossroads in our understanding of history. Juneteenth commemorates a profound moment: June 19, 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3, which enforced the Emancipation Proclamation and declared the enslaved people of Texas free. The order marks the end of slavery in… Read More »
[June 17, 2026] Yesterday, while undergoing an outpatient surgical procedure, one of the nurses told me that her grandfather was injured on the USS Franklin in 1945 and given last rights. But he lived to tell the tale. We are close to history, and often don’t know it. On March 19, 1945, near Kobe, Japan, Lt. Cmdr. Joseph… Read More »
[June 15, 2026] In a recent social media post, Dr. Jordan Peterson delivered an important message to Christian Churches. I need to note that he has been traveling to Western countries, giving talks about the psychological approach to our ancient stories. In those talks, he overwhelmingly draws young men. These are the same men who are not attending… Read More »
[June 14, 2026] In a long series of lectures by Dr. Jordan Peterson, one of the messages that consistently arises from them is that parents have a moral obligation to encourage their children to go out into the world. For the child to be who they can be. To be the best they can be. And the father… Read More »
[June 8, 2026] A Victorian-era poem offers surprisingly practical lessons on what it means to become a man. A recent article in the Epoch Times by Walker Larson discussed how boys benefit from strong role models of responsible manhood from parents and mentors. Here is what the author had to say about this incredibly important topic. I was… Read More »
[June 7, 2026] I often write about heroes here on my blog. And, I will highlight another heroic act today. The reason I do this is simple; we have a moral obligation to tell stories of heroes. In an X post by @HiddenHistory, the secret story of the heroic capture of German U-Boat U-505 is revealed. 82 years… Read More »

[June 6, 2026] A dozen years ago, I wrote about the most famous battle in the history of the Western world. The article got zero comments, only a handful of views, and seemed to go down as a flop. Now, I’m resurrecting it for today, as we remember the landing that day, D-Day, June 6, 1944. Operation Overlord… Read More »
