[December 8, 2025] After the USAID corruption scandal that shocked most Americans, there seemed little that could top such an egregious assault upon the citizen taxpayer. We were wrong. News out of Minnesota shows that they got caught with their hand in the Medicaid cookie jar. Most ordinary Americans know that Dr. Oz administers the Medicare and Medicaid… Read More »
[December 5, 2025] Where is this nation headed? When the Democrat Party uses the force of law to target their political opponents who are helping pregnant women? That’s the state of New Jersey when a lawyer for NJ’s Attorney General’s office subpoenaed First Choice, a pro-life group that assists women with their pregnancies and discourages abortion. And, yes,… Read More »
[December 3, 2025] Kristan Hawkins posts videos of her interacting with people who oppose restrictions on abortion. Sometimes, she is on college campuses, or doing street interviews, or at pro-abortion protests. Kristen’s videos are enlightening to me, and I would suspect that they are generally educational about the pro-abortion thinking of people today in America. In this video,… Read More »
[December 2, 2025] It only seems like yesterday when I flew into Baghdad aboard a C130 Air Force cargo plane. I had a small team that was to act as the Advanced Party to the 353rd Engineer Group (Construction). In my first book “Our Longest Year in Iraq,” I laid out my thoughts on the Iraq War. Our… Read More »
[November 29, 2025] There should be no doubt that America is split along political lines or that Leftists of the Democrat Party have begun undermining a number of American institutions.

[November 28, 2025] My wife asked me yesterday, shortly after enjoying our Thanksgiving Dinner, why I was writing about the Iraq War, and pointedly asked, “Why are you focusing on this Pre-Surge?” She noted that nearly everyone was focused on the “fight,” or just the “surge.” And that is a good question, and one I’ve asked myself for… Read More »
[November 19, 2025] David and I were 16 when he decided to hop onto a train and head out West; to ride the rails. We had been infected by the cowboy spirit, “Head West, young man, head West.” Just before our junior year in high school, we were exploring the abandoned towns that lay far out into the… Read More »
[November 15, 2025] I’m of the belief that all humans crave adventure. I have no way of proving that, but looking at the history of mankind, we can see where this “adventure spirit” to explore and find new pathways into the unknown was driven by those most infected with the call for adventure. Today, I’m writing about Van… Read More »
[November 10, 2025] In a brutally honest email sent to the “Penn community” declared that the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education is a “dogshit and elitist institution” and that they “hire and admit morons.” As to be expected in damage control, Penn administrators immediately labeled the email as fraudulent. I got a laugh out of it.… Read More »
[November 9, 2025] Leadership is certainly not easy, but no one who has taken such a position does so with the intent to do a bad job of it.
