[August 24, 2024] Regular readers will know that I’m a “dog person” by any measure you want to measure me. I stumbled upon a young man who cares for dogs, specializing in bringing dogs out of their shells made of fear. He is rather popular and well-known in the dog world. To many, he is a dog hero. … Read More »
[August 23, 2024] This is what Americans need to hear! In a rally at Asheboro, NC, two days ago, former President Donald Trump pledged that he would demand the resignations of top military officials behind the inglorious Afghanistan retreat. It is hard to find a clearer case for their resignations. Unfortunately, many of these senior leaders will be… Read More »
[August 22, 2024] I’m from the poor Deep South, where I can still find my heart. I relate closely with those living in small towns and on farms, working blue-collar jobs, local volunteers, small church congregations, and truckers. When people ask where I’m from, I say, “I’m from Mer Rouge, Louisiana.” Despite not living there for six decades,… Read More »
[August 21, 2024] In a recent interview with Paul Kengor, Jordan Peterson compares the political ideology of Marxism with the story of Cain and Abel from the Bible.

[August 20, 2024] I’ll be upfront with you guys today. What follows is an advertisement – of sorts – for Fr. Jim Drucker’s radio program. I’m hawking his radio program; you don’t want to miss it. He’s a retired Catholic Priest, USAF Catholic Chaplain, Desert Storm Veteran, and a popular radio program host. Known around the area as… Read More »
[August 19, 2024] I was a phone call-in to the Father Jim Drucker radio show1 this past Saturday when he hosted Ralph Galati, a Vietnam War POW and Veteran advocate. It was a fascinating conversation as USAF Captain Galati gave us some insights into what it was like as a POW held by the North Vietnamese. But Ralph… Read More »
[August 18, 2024] I’ll be out all day, so I’m posting a less serious article about Emmy the Lab. I had a dog-loving friend send me this channel on YouTube, and it is not big or exciting or crazy, but just about a yellow Labrador Retriever doing her thing. Oh, and she looks exactly like my yellow lab… Read More »
[August 17, 2024] The Israeli war against Hamas is approaching its first anniversary, October 7th. What the Israeli leadership understands, and the world does not, is that to win their war with Hamas, they must win the war against Hamas and the Palestinians who support Hamas. And, Israel can win! What does “winning the war” mean? To win… Read More »
[August 16, 2024] Ukraine has taken the fight to the Russian motherland and crossed President Putin’s “red line.” With Ukraine troops now in Russia, the leaders of the West are beginning to realize there are no serious retaliatory efforts by Russia, at least to this point, almost two weeks later. The move by Ukraine is certainly a masterful… Read More »
[August 15, 2024] In the summer of 1967, when I was about to turn 15, the Academy Award-winning war movie “The Dirty Dozen” came out in theaters in my new Texas town, much to my happy surprise. I’d never seen anything like it; in the film, many of the worst convicts-turned-soldiers were given a top-secret mission to pull… Read More »
