[November 3, 2021] Why can’t the U.S. military find good men for great leader jobs? You know why. A decade of “woke” (political progressive activism) mandates, posturing, and propaganda has had its way with our young men. The results are predictable. Throw in suppression of free speech, destruction of the nuclear family, easy drugs, a victimhood culture, and… Read More »
[August 15, 2021] You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig. For those who remember the final days of the Vietnam War, you will find that once again, American is abandoning its allies and retreating (surrender is a better term) from a fight. We’re getting out of Afghanistan so fast that we are… Read More »
[June 9, 2021] On several occasions, I noted a tendency for Western media toward an anti-democratic bias (see links here, here, and here). Whether it is honoring dead Islamic terrorists or advocating for looting, rioting, and murder, many news organizations have failed at their most basic task – providing impartial information to the public. A recent example of… Read More »
[May 29, 2021] Can a century’s old brutal leadership provide us with critical lessons today? In an award-winning movie, The Patriot starring Mel Gibson, the story is told of events in the Revolutionary War.

[May 19, 2021] The Associated Press – a prominent American news agency providing “news reports” – has itself been the subject of mockery since its reporters were exposed acting as Hamas propagandists. This is certainly not the first time this organization acted in such a manner with other brutal regimes. The organization collaborated with the Nazis during WWII. … Read More »
[April 9, 2021] We hear every day that the leading civil rights issue in America is the fight against racism. We are told, no greater problem exists, and our failure to stop racism is an existential societal crisis. I disagree. The greatest civil rights issue of the 21st century is saving babies that otherwise would be legally and… Read More »
[February 19, 2021] Fear – absolute fear – is what you want your enemies to experience. Why? Because overwhelming fear will be their downfall. Armies, across time, make every effort to instill fear; it works. Ordinary people give up, competitors surrender without a fight, and enemies retreat from the battlefield. Their message … we’re your worst nightmare. The… Read More »
[January 14, 2021] Looking back into the haze of thousands of years ago, we can sometimes see meaning in the works of those who lived. And, those meanings can be a lesson for us living today. That is the case with Fort Buhen, Egypt. Early Egypt: Before the New Kingdom (16th to 11th Century BC), Egypt had a… Read More »
[December 11, 2020] Yesterday, my wife Nancy was very upset, and it is not a good idea for her to be upset. She wanted to watch a video from Right Side Broadcasting, which was uploaded to YouTube. The video didn’t play because YouTube had banned it. We compared it to the Nazi book burning events in the 1930s.… Read More »
[March 1, 2022] “1917” (2019) is a modern war classic and one of the best movies made. This is the story of two British soldiers’ treacherous mission across enemy lines in France. Director Sam Mendes gave himself and cinematographer Roger Deakins a dangerous directive: shoot and edit the film to appear as though it’s a single shot. The… Read More »
