[May 17, 2026] The U.S. Supreme Court just greenlit mifepristone’s mail-order abortions, enabling chemical killing of the unborn. Abortion abolitionists call this judicial complicity in homicide. No doctor required, just poison shipped like takeout food. “Broad access” simply means broad slaughter and without accountability. The state of Louisiana challenged FDA rules that undermine its ban. Justice Samuel A.… Read More »
[May 15, 2026] One of the greatest advantages of a military career is the opportunity to work alongside genuinely brilliant minds—people I came to think of as hyper-intellectuals. This essay is about what I learned from really smart people during my years as a General Officer, and how I learned to lead them effectively. Most military leaders avoid… Read More »
[May 12, 2026] There is one memorial in Washington DC, which is constantly changing and evolving.

[May 9, 2026] It took me a long time, many decades, to learn that the best place for me was on a path toward the most difficult goal. Dr. Jordan Peterson puts this into words much better than I ever could. In one of his lectures, he talks about the Knights of the Round Table as they go… Read More »
[May 7, 2026] Just a couple of days ago, I had the pleasure of meeting several older veterans. I don’t use the “old” descriptor as an insult; they would agree with me. All were in their 90s. I asked them, with all seriousness, what advice they would give young folks who wanted to join the U.S. military. I… Read More »
[May 4, 2026] This is an old question, connected to improving our knowledge of the human body and continued advancement in medical technology. Perhaps this is one problem humanity should never solve. Should we eradicate death? Silicon Valley is pouring billions into curing death. They treat mortality like a defect in a car. Something to be cured from… Read More »
[May 2, 2026] If you’re a military veteran, this one needs no explanation; if you’re on time, you’re late. You already live it.

Not because the clock police are watching, but because it shows you… Read More »
[May 1, 2026] Michael Rothman does it once again by piecing together an excellent summary of Friedrich Hayek’s takedown of Socialism and why it will always fail. Hayek’s argument is what we now consider mainstream criticism of all forms of Socialism/Marxism/Communist ideology.

[April 30, 2026] I grew up watching Popeye the Sailor Man cartoons on Saturday mornings on our old black-and-white television set. Popeye was the character who would eat a can of spinach to gain strength before he got into a fight. I never could get used to eating spinach, despite the great motivation Popeye gave me. Here is… Read More »
[April 28, 2026] One of my hard lessons learned from so many years in the Army was that upholding basic decency was crucial to success. Now we are witnessing what happens when good judgment fails and decency is thrown out the window. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel’s failure to learn this lesson about hatred has led to his own destruction.… Read More »
