[September 30, 2026] Young Bob is a young British conservative who is on social media debating Leftists in the UK. He has a style similar to the American Turning Point / Charlie Kirk format: set up a table, film passers-by, and cuts the exchange to X, TikTok, and YouTube. He calls himself a young conservative Christian activist. Leftwing… Read More »
[September 29, 2026] I’m a sucker for a good news dog story. There’s a connection with this one. It involves a man going through an airport checkpoint line when a TSA German Shepherd unexpectedly jumps a barrier to get to him. My first thought was that the Shepherd was going to attack the man, but I was wrong. … Read More »
[September 27, 2026] Years ago, I wrote that senior leaders live in a fishbowl. A friend had just been pinned as a Brigadier General and discovered he could no longer sit in the back of a room and disappear. Every sentence he said was dissected. Every habit he demonstrated was amplified. He was a “baby flag,” and the… Read More »
[September 27, 2026] Leadership is an emotion. This idea is unique, and certainly controversial; running counter to those who believe it is merely a practice to influence others. And it is indeed a practice, but one that is also built into every one of us. However, like love, hate, happiness, fear, and anger, leadership is surely innate. At… Read More »
[September 26, 2026] Occasionally I watch videos of Abolitionist Rising folks who are arguing for the elimination of all abortion, regardless of excuse. I agree with them. Legal arguments to the side, killing the unborn is nothing short of killing, and when done, it is morally wrong. Most Americans reject a total legal ban on abortions, and the… Read More »
[September 25, 2026] In the “old days” of U.S. Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), our Soldiers were smart. They knew that scoring high on the test itself meant quicker promotions and better assignments. So they did what any good Soldier would do under those circumstances; they practiced for the test. This is called “training to the test.” It… Read More »
[September 24, 2026] Announced earlier this week, the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth directed the military to begin “testing generals” for warfighting abilities. Hegseth appears to believe that Flag Officer promotions are not based on their ability to fight and win wars. I agree with him on that issue, but not on the “why.” For a leadership website… Read More »
[September 23, 2026] Some folks will find a bit of humor in the fact that I did learn some things about manhood while growing up in the South. I gained all this knowledge despite my less-than-stellar school performance. I also had a serious lack of focus on those things that bored me (but were nevertheless important), and I… Read More »
[September 22, 2026] It is the human condition that you must have meaning in your life; for it is that very meaning that sustains you. Life is going to be difficult because you are in it for the long term. And, in order to sustain yourself in that life, you must find it in the voluntary adoption of… Read More »
[September 21, 2026] Meira K talks about how Linsey Clancy jurors thought they were doxing the holdout juror, but they’ve turned him into a literal hero; actually, a true national hero. I find the case about Linsey Clancy killing her children to be shocking because so many are defending her; mostly women. We now know who the juror… Read More »
