[September 11, 2021] There are many memories of September 11, 2001; this 20th anniversary of that terrible event. Today, I’m bringing you the words of Richard Pearson, Executive Director of the Illinois State Rifle Association. It is hard to believe that 9/11/2001 was 20 years ago. I, like many of you, remember where I was and what I… Read More »
[August 31, 2021] So much to do and so little time to do it. I resurrected my “clearing the spindle” series a few months ago because of so much in the news, especially over failing leaders who blame others for their own incompetence. Today’s article is title, “you won’t believe this.” I know that it is a bit… Read More »
[August 29, 2021] The American military no longer trusts you. The American people no longer believe what you say. You are a disgrace and embarrassment to the uniform and remain a standing beacon of failure for all to see. U.S. Army General Mark Milley, you must resign NOW! Tear those four stars off your new nostalgic uniform and… Read More »
[August 16, 2021] When you don’t have allies, you don’t have anything. In Afghanistan, we just dumped an ally by turning them over to a terror group known as the Taliban.

[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 »
[July 10, 2021] The battle for Europe began on this day, July 10, 1943, as Allies began their invasion of Axis-controlled Europe with landings on the island of Sicily. Today, I want to compare these young men of WWII to those of today. I have some recent poll results that tell a surprising story. I’ve seen many pictures… Read More »
[July 9, 2021] When I come across something said that I find amazing, I rarely publish it here on my blog. Today, I’m making an exception. It’s about kneeling. John McNulty, born May 29, 1968, is an American football coach who is currently the tight end coach at the University of Notre Dame. He is a former player… Read More »
[July 5, 2021] I have always believed that leaders think, talk about, and help create solutions to problems that others shy away from. Real leaders know to do so requires working from the ground up, using practical solutions with a knowledge of people – their desires and needs. The beginning of the Salvation Army is a testament to… Read More »
[July 4, 2021] It seems like a long time ago. Eighty-two years ago this day, July 4th, 1939, Lou Gehrig gave his farewell speech, saying he was the luckiest man on Earth. His speech came just after Gehrig was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, Lou Gehrig was a special man, and he recognized that his accomplishments… Read More »
[June 27, 2021] I live in a relatively rural area of Southern New Jersey. It is where you can feel safe walking in a local park and watch children playing on the playground. But the number one issue is exploding crime. The number two issue is the decline of our school system and its infection by Critical Race… Read More »
