[December 3, 2025] I’ve not yet seen all of the recent production of Ken Burn’s, “The American Revolutionary” series on PBS. So far, my initial reaction to it was positive, but the more I saw of the documentary, the more I saw it for what it was: biased against America’s founding. Being distributed on PBS gives the documentary… Read More »
[December 3, 2025] Kristan Hawkins posts videos of her interacting with people who oppose restrictions on abortion. Sometimes, she is on college campuses, or doing street interviews, or at pro-abortion protests.

[November 30, 2025] Earlier this month, I was the guest speaker at the Marine Corps League celebration of the 250th birthday of the U.S. Marines’ founding.

Scott portrayed… Read More »
[November 20, 2025] Yesterday was the viewing, and today is the funeral of another good friend of mine. I’m blessed to know many good people—those very same folks who would drop everything and help me if I truly needed assistance. Those are the kinds of people anyone would want to be around. The young man was 36 years… Read More »
[November 19, 2025] David and I were 16 when he decided to hop onto a train and head out West; to ride the rails. We had been infected by the cowboy spirit, “Head West, young man, head West.” Just before our junior year in high school, we were exploring the abandoned towns that lay far out into the… Read More »
[November 17, 2025] Today, we have a wobbly weirdo who gets tased, maced, and arrested, all in just a few minutes. I consider this post to be pure entertainment, with minimal value for those looking for leadership ideas. However, there might just be some professional development in what not to do if the police stop your car. From… Read More »
[November 13, 2025] Occasionally it’s good to take a break from the challenge of the study of leadership. Today I’m providing my personal list of favorite war movies … those that made an impression on me when I saw them. Yes, they’re English movies so the list doesn’t include some great, non-English movies. For some reason these movies… Read More »
[November 11, 2025] Hello General Satterfield, Here we are again celebrating Veterans Day. Sir, this will be my 57th year being home from Vietnam. I guess you can say I am one of the lucky ones.
