[August 18, 2024] I’ll be out all day, so I’m posting a less serious article about Emmy the Lab.

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!

[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.

[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.

[August 14, 2024] While I apologize upfront about the hyperbole “goose-steppers,” I originally erased the title.

We are fortunate in America that we have the 1st Amendment to the Constitution that guarantees free speech.1 Recently, Elon Musk did a… Read More »
[August 13, 2024] Leadership means many things, but ultimately, it means getting people to accomplish a goal. Leaders come in a range of abilities and outcomes in performance – great, good, bad and, yes, evil. But there is one category, evil leaders who walk in sheep’s clothing, which deserve special mention. “Watch out for false prophets. They come… Read More »
[August 12, 2024] Grace. Whenever I look back over the past century to see what defines women at their best, I see a combination of virtues that can only be described as ‘grace.’ Whether young or old, rich or poor, grace sets a few special, distinctive women apart from the remainder of their gender. We can see this… Read More »
[August 11, 2024] With Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on the Democrat Party’s ticket to become Vice President, his leadership has been called into question. A slew of memes about Tim Walz popped up, and Tampon Tim is one of the more humorous and controversial ones. Let the tampon war begin! The meme Tampon Tim derives from the passage… Read More »
[August 10, 2024] Please take a look at the list of 14 books I have on my Reading List page and the last one in italics is The Holy Bible. If you read good books, the list is a sack of jewels and useful and challenging you as yourself. Today, I want to take a look at one… Read More »
[August 9, 2024] I left home at 17 and I was gone before my High School graduation because I was enrolled in college and taking classes, a couple of weeks before my friends walked across the High School graduation stage at home in Abilene, Texas. I imagined in my mind my friends with their parents hugging each other, taking… Read More »
