[January 13, 2025] One of the most tragic failures of the 20th century is the decline and death of the Boy Scouts of America. Anyone interested can discover a laundry list of reasons for their demise, from their movement away from Christianity to opening up to gays and girls in their organization. I lay the blame solely with… Read More »
[January 13, 2025] A short drive north of where I grew up, maybe 15 minutes away, there’s a little town where my grandparents lived. Calling it a small town is giving it perhaps too much credit because there was no traffic light but a reduced speed sign at each end of the lonely main street. Granddaddy and Bigmama… Read More »
[January 12, 2025] The New Year is here, and I believe that America is about to enter a new age of prosperity. Things are looking up across the board despite a number of wars overseas. The good news is that Americans are not dying in them. Today’s Sunday morning in pictures (memes, actually) are here for your pure… Read More »
[January 11, 2025] A good friend of mine is one of those kinds of folks ’marginal’ leaders hate to have around. This man is brutally honest and has zero fear in saying what he thinks. For that reason he is often detested. But he doesn’t miss anything. The past few days in California, the LA fires have raged… Read More »
[January 10, 2025] A few years ago, before the COVID-19 pandemic, I thought the idea that Americans would support Fascist-like style running of our government was preposterous. Then Covid-19 hit us.

[January 9, 2025] Meet Robert! I find it amazing, even after all my travels, that there are people with peculiarities that border on perversion. I’m not talking about those who have a mental illness or struggling with serious personal tragedies, but with average folks who use their spare time in fantasies that get them into serious trouble. Meet… Read More »
[January 8, 2025] I couldn’t let this slur upon our U.S. Veterans and military slide by without comment. President-elect Trump made recent comments about the terror threat at the southern border. In response, MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell claimed that US military Veterans pose a greater threat than illegal immigrants. His point is that America should focus on U.S.… Read More »
[January 7, 2025] The year ended with the execution of Saddam Hussein by hanging at approximately 5:00 in the morning on Saturday, December 30, 2006. His execution was for crimes against humanity. His co-conspirators were executed later. U.S. Americans had no part in the execution because this was part of our philosophy of allowing the Iraqis to run… Read More »
[January 6, 2025] America’s national intelligence agencies, under normal times, struggle to produce actionable intelligence to prevent attacks upon our citizens and infrastructure. With the advent of a race and sex-based DEI ideology, they have effectively destroyed their ability to conduct their mission. This is according to Bernard Hudson, former director of the CIA’s counterterrorism section. Hudson published… Read More »
[January 5, 2025] Some folks will find a bit of humor in the fact that I did learn some things growing up. All this knowledge Was gained 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 was involved in a few escapades.… Read More »
