[December 23, 2022] Modern movies are awful. They often have a “female hero” (the perfect hero without flaw, fear, or blemish) substituting for the male hero, who traditionally rides in to save the day.

[December 16, 2022] I have a book signing this weekend. A local store, One Nation 1776, located in Historic Smithville Village, will be hosting the event Saturday, 11 am to 4 pm.

[December 15, 2022] If you are being required to do things that make you weak and ashamed … then stop, don’t do them. One of the critical messages from Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn and Victor E. Frankl was that things could go terribly out of control when people don’t stop them when they’re mildly out of control. Many of… Read More »
