[May 3, 2026] There is nothing like waking up on a sunny Sunday morning (before sunrise, heh) to look at a bunch of funny memes on the Internet. It’s been since January since I posted last, and yes I’m late, but my wife reminded me I’m overdue posting a Sunday Morning in Pictures on my website. Pssst, she… 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. For everyone else: showing up exactly on time doesn’t make you punctual; it makes you late. The real rule is simple. Be early. 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. Hayek says that a highly-centralized government cannot fully grasp the complexities of any society, and thus… Read More »
[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 29, 2026] Learning your limitations can be tough on the ego. My first big clue that I wasn’t “smart” came in 7th grade history class. The teacher assigned us to memorize the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. We couldn’t argue with him. Memorizing stuff was normal back then—like learning the ABCs, counting to 100, or saying the… 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 »
[April 27, 2026] What are Harvard students fighting back against? Slavery in Africa? World famine? Nope. It looks like the university leadership wants to institute tougher grading rules and students are calling this proposed policy “racist” for certain groups of students. The fact that this controversy is happening is another example of the destruction of higher education. The… Read More »
[April 26, 2026] I have long believed that it is a moral duty, a necessary and profound duty, to recognize talented individuals and give them opportunities where they can excel. I also understand that talent is rare and that people don’t understand that. Indeed, there’s a massive inequality in the distribution of talent. I know it’s harsh and… Read More »
[April 25, 2026] Here is an interesting observation that I don’t really understand. When I was in the U.S. Army, I noticed that being a Soldier had a differential impact on men and a particularly significant impact on racial minority men. This is a good news story. For example, black men, particularly from the rural Deep South (like… Read More »
[April 24, 2026] Victor Davis Hanson just dropped a brutal truth bomb on Europe, and it’s about time someone did. Europe has lost the ball on being a reliable ally; a sad departure from their past bravery and willingness to go toe-to-toe with enemies of the West. The question now: Is NATO dead weight? In Operation Epic Fury,… Read More »
