[October 3, 2023] France proposes crushing the world’s economy (and their own), one stupid idea at a time. Emmanuel Macron’s government is actively trying to reduce carbon emissions, which they are doing in peculiar ways. France is looking to restrict air travel within their country and for everyone radically. Maybe France hasn’t figured it out yet, but tourism… Read More »
[September 28, 2023] Surprisingly, one of the secrets to being a successful is sometimes being willing to admit defeat … if the time and conditions are right. The best leaders know there are circumstances when being right is not the most practicable strategy. How can it be, one may ask, that leaders intentionally give up when they are… Read More »
[September 27, 2023] In an earlier post I laid out 10 things to know before joining the Army (see link here). While the post is slanted toward the U.S. Army, it applies with some modification to all men regardless of our lot in life. Today, the list involves things that senior and retired officers told me that they… Read More »
[September 26, 2023] I love pointing out heroes. They make my day every time I hear about them, and on rare occasions, I see them in action.

[September 25, 2023] The socialist mayor of Chicago has a solution for the food deserts in his city. That’s food deserts, not food desserts. Chicago grocery stores (and other stores) are closing in Chicago because shoplifting has become so pervasive that they can no longer make a profit. Such an outcome was predicted long ago when the previous… Read More »

I often talked with counselors who worked with incoming Freshmen to improve their math and reading skills. The college math professors told us that about half the students couldn’t do even High School math. … Read More »
[September 22, 2023] Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once wrote that anyone who uses violence to suppress people must “inexorably choose lying as his principle.” Leaders who lie and those who support those leaders who lie are guilty of the world’s most evil of evils. Even in Dante’s Inferno, betrayal is at the bottomless pit of evil. My topic today is… Read More »
[September 20, 2023] Manhood is not a new idea, but it is one that our modern society incorrectly labels toxic. Now, if you know me and read this blog, you will predict with 100% accuracy that I reject the toxicity label because it is simply false, and obviously so. The toxic label is false, and manhood is something… Read More »
[September 19, 2023] China is doomed. There is hardly a better word for it, and now the world knows it. The Chinese Communist economic model, highly touted by Western sycophants, is unsustainable. But just a few years ago, we were told China would overtake the United States and crush us economically. That was a lie and always has… Read More »
[September 17, 2023] Today is the anniversary of the Civil War battle at Antietam, September 17, 1862. There are some lessons we can take away from this battle and I will get to them in a moment. I must first emphasize that it is the general ignorance of history that is not just an embarrassment for us Americans… Read More »
