[July 19, 2023] My dad was a New York Yankees fan, and by default, so was I. To this day, I never knew why; we lived in the Deep South, where professional baseball was king, but my dad still insisted the Yankees were the team we would follow, and all three of us kids (later four) will always… Read More »
[July 16, 2023] He was an obnoxious, arrogant, self-centered, spiteful bully with a streak of hate running through his black heart. Our family had just moved to a new town, and I was academically transferred to my new Junior High, just a few miles from where I grew up but, in actuality, an entire world away. I… Read More »
[July 13, 2023] This year has been the kiss of death for woke companies pushing their transgender ideology and then suffering massive blowbacks. We all remember the first company to get destroyed, Bud Light beer. The boycott of the beer was so massive that now their name is used as an adverb, “bud lighted,” meaning to be… Read More »
[July 10, 2023] I was born in Arkansas, close to a line of small towns that ran south into Louisiana along what is now state Route 165, where all my relatives married, worked, raised their families, and died. My hometown is Mer Rouge, where I learned to be a young man. I lived in this little village, without… Read More »
[July 7, 2023] The new and heavily redacted State Department report on our failure in Afghanistan (see link here) shockingly places the responsibility for our withdrawal on the Biden White House. I say shockingly because the U.S. State Department is a shill for the Biden administration, so it is now evident that no amount of pussy-footing around the… Read More »
[July 5, 2023] Granddaughter! Perhaps you are now wondering why I’m writing these letters to you, a growing, beautiful young lady. You are the oldest of my grandchildren. And like your father and like me as your grandfather, we are each the firstborn and with that position comes special privileges and also expectations. While I am confident that… Read More »
[June 30, 2023] I was a bit naïve as a child, perhaps too insulated in our small Southern town, tucked away in the rural forested flatlands of Louisiana. And school was a place you had to go; that’s how it was, and I lacked the motivation to do well academically. I liked running free, skipping through the woods,… Read More »
[June 28, 2023] Sometimes, things come along just when you need them most. The hard-boiled eggs were colored in pastels, craftily hidden throughout the backyard, tucked behind a tree, hidden in the grass, behind a bush, and on the fence post. And there was Mom gathering all her children together. It was Easter Sunday, the first Easter in… Read More »
[June 27, 2023] It was my first day cleaning a pigpen, and I knew I had stepped in it big time. Yep, that’s me all right, taking on a job that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or getting into. But I was also too hard-headed to admit I was over my head, thinking I… Read More »
[June 26, 2023] Yesterday was the 73rd anniversary of the invasion of South Korea by their communist North Korea: June 25, 1950. And while that was many decades ago, this regime still demonstrates what Evil is like, if only we look into the abyss that is a nation. We call North Korea the Hermit Kingdom and for a… Read More »
