Letters to My Granddaughter, Epilogue [November 20, 2024] Here is some good news. That skinny small-town boy from the Deep South – and born on the bayou (like the 1969 CCR song) – turned out okay. I would marry and have two children; the happiest days of my life were their birth and their growing up. Nothing is… Read More »
[January 28, 2024] A large truck convoy is headed to the Texas border. U.S. Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) announced earlier this week that truckers will hold a “demonstration along several border routes to protest the wide open [southern] border.”1 between January 29 and February 3. As expected, radical leftists are criticizing these truckers for being un-American and un-democratic.… Read More »
[January 20, 2024] A good friend, a Vietnam Veteran, passed a story along to me yesterday. I was about a U.S. Navy jet pilot in Vietnam who was shot down, captured and spent six years in a Communist Vietnamese prison. His name is Charles Plumb, and he wrote about by asking, who’s packing your parachute? One day, this… Read More »
[January 19, 2024] Unclassified information from many sources inside and near the Russian Federation has increased concern in the West about Russia’s imminent collapse. But is it true that it is about to implode? While the collapse or implosion of any state is difficult to predict with reasonable accuracy, there are indications we can look at to help… Read More »
[January 1, 2024] In Junior High School, my classmates and I were required to memorize the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, a worthy undertaking. Despite trying hard to memorize it through many frustrating hours, I was unsuccessful. This event symbolizes my entire education experience; rote knowledge came slowly and with torment. I felt like I was somehow retarded.… Read More »
[October 26, 2023] Anyone reading my blog knows that I firmly stand against Hamas terrorism (see articles here, here, here, and here) and fully support Israel to defend itself in this latest war. What I saw these past two weeks, coming from the cameras operated by Hamas terrorists, was unspeakable. To put this into perspective, I was a… Read More »
[October 19, 2023] The photograph of the crew of the Boeing B-17 “The Memphis Belle” is iconic. Led by USAAF Captain Robert Morgan, the crew flew 29 missions altogether during World War II. I was fortunate to meet retired Colonel Robert Morgan nearly three decades ago and hear of his crew’s exploits and the combat-proven leadership he displayed.… Read More »
[October 2, 2023] I’ve been reading up on the fatherless crisis in America for a few months now. And yes, this is a crisis. Patrick Bet-David, an Iranian-born American, gives us some shocking facts that will surely turn a few heads. I like this guy. He is straightforward in his approach and can simplify some complex phenomena. His… Read More »
[September 26, 2023] I love pointing out heroes. They make my day every time I hear about them, and on rare occasions, I see them in action. That is the case of pizza guy Dave Portnoy, who took a leftist Washington Post reporter to the cleaners and won. A big story from last week was when Barstool Event… Read More »
[September 14, 2023] For all of human history, the idea of business has always been predicated on one thing—making money. Later, refine the product, draw in more consumers, and make more money. No longer. The age of capitalism is either dead or we’re witnessing the silent, cringing death throes of a conquered entity. What does this have to… Read More »
