[September 20, 2023] Manhood is not a new idea, but it is one that our modern society incorrectly labels toxic. Now, if you know me and read this blog, you will predict with 100% accuracy that I reject the toxicity label because it is simply false, and obviously so. The toxic label is false, and manhood is something… Read More »
[August 28, 2023] The movie scared me more than 60 years ago, and I still get shivers from that memory of watching the original 1933 adventure horror animal film King Kong. I was 9 years old, my brother two years younger, and we had somehow convinced our Mom to take us to this classic and frightening show, most… Read More »
[July 26, 2023] I must honestly say I may have never read the Constitution of the United States. If I did read it, I really don’t remember when or where. I do recall all during my lifetime. I heard people on TV, people on talk radio read about the Constitution in newspapers. I always heard about our Supreme… Read More »
[July 25, 2023] I was in Seoul, Wonju, Daegu, and Busan, South Korea (home of 8th U.S. Army and United States Forces Korea) two winters ago. There, I had the pleasure of seeing troops perform as they went about their business of intense fieldwork. Their mission was to show the enemies of the United States and our Republic… Read More »
[July 23, 2023] Over many years, I slowly discovered, to my amazement, that the U.S. military has recruited and trained many stupid people. Several progressive liberals I know would say, “Of course, the military attracts stupid people.” But their simplistic thinking is way off base. Here is my take on the Theory of Stupidity that could explain… Read More »
[July 8, 2023] It was the Fall of 1960. I attended the second grade at a small school in a rural northeast Louisiana town. There I met a few men from the Korean War. The younger of these men helped teach us kids how to throw a spitball, steal a base, and do a proper bunt in baseball. … Read More »
Letters to My Granddaughter, No. 5 (the JFK Election) [June 17, 2023] I was a young kid when Dwight D. Eisenhower was in office, but I do not remember him. Politics was beyond my understanding and appreciation for what that meant. As a eight-year-old, I wasn’t totally ignorant, just nearly so. To me, they were faces in the… Read More »
[June 16, 2023] For good-thinking folk, we can quickly figure out that inviting an anti-Catholic, anti-Christian group to their game will not sit well with fans. And worse, the LA Dodgers will “honor” a hate group for their ‘contributions to society.’ If you thought the Marketing VP of Bud Light was stupid by causing her brand to crash,… Read More »
[June 12, 2023] Billy C., a reader of my blog, a couple of days ago, drew my attention to the great Arkansas State Police troopers, their courage on the job, and the fan base of those who follow their exploits on social media. Curious, I looked on YouTube to discover he was spot on with his observation. What… Read More »
[June 11, 2023] In a recent article by Gary Saul Morson titled Do Russians Miss War?, he asks appropriate questions about the Russian culture of war (link here). This is not that dissimilar to two articles I wrote a while back that asked Do you miss war? , and Why Soldiers Miss War. Morson’s main point is that… Read More »
