[November 26, 2025] In his most recent article titled “Insurrection Chic,” Dr. Victor Davis Hanson highlights what he sees as the Democrat Party embracing a neo-Confederate defiance of federal authority. Democrats have become the new Confederacy, much like the old Confederacy of the U.S. Civil War. “Those are fighting words, young man.” It’s no secret that I’m a… Read More »
[November 25, 2025] Used to living open lives, the best leaders know the unremitting fact that people will see their weaknesses … and people will also comment on those weaknesses. While this may come as a surprise, the passion of the commentators is a twist that strikes leaders like a bolt from the blue. Leaders must know and… Read More »
[November 24, 2025] After ten months in the country, I had hit the pinnacle of my worth to the Coalition Engineer effort. I knew who was who, those who could do the job and those who could not, those Flag Officers that would help in country and out (as a resource), those who were my closest coworker comrades… Read More »
[November 23, 2025] The Democrat ad reminding our military not to obey “illegal orders” violates a basic governing principle. That principle is we do not bring our military into political squabbles. For that reason, it is an ugly and dangerous move by Dems. Clearly, the ad was intended to create controversy, and draw attention away from the fact… Read More »
[November 22, 2025] In a recent PowerLineBlog post by John Hinderaker, I became aware of the preventable torture and murder of 10-year old Sara Sharif. In Britain, this case became public because of failures by government agency employees. These employees were stopped from doing their job by their own fear of being called a racist, ultimately leading to… Read More »
[November 21, 2025] In early June 1944, the Commander of the U.S. Third Army, General George S. Patton, delivered what is considered his most famous speech. The Allied invasion of France, code-named Overlord, was about to begin. For those who watched the motion picture “Patton,” you will never forget the opening scene, as actor George C. 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 18, 2025] Gen Z protests in Mexico have broken out, presumably, in response to government corruption and the drug cartels. I think it’s fair to state that the Federal government of Mexico has always been corrupt to its core; the epitome of failed leadership. The rise of drug cartels have fueled this corruption to a point that… 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 »
