[June 10, 2022] Long before I was introduced to the “business luncheon,” I’d found it professionally productive to eat meals with others. Yet, I took ‘eating meals with others’ for granted and overlooked the many not-so-obvious benefits. Some nihilists would say I do this to enhance my career; they would be wrong. In an earlier article titled Eating… Read More »
[June 9, 2022] At first, it may be self-evident that we all need noble goals to achieve. However, the fact that this is true doesn’t mean that we cannot leave it there. We deserve an explanation for why we need noble goals. “The nobler your aim, the better your life.” – Jordan Peterson There is an old, very… Read More »
[June 7, 2022] The ability to find a noble goal in one’s life is key to a satisfying and enabling future. I believe it is a fundamental part of any human to search for something more important than themselves and participate in that endeavor with all their heart. Many of us are nihilistic, resentful, troubled, and unhappy. We… Read More »
[June 5, 2022] The behavior of Russia’s leaders before and during this Ukraine War has been predictable. They do classic Russian kinetic warfare, better known as old-fashioned attrition warfare.

[June 4, 2022] New York Post opinion writer Miranda Devine gives what I believe is the best analysis of the recent elementary school mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. With an article (see link here) with the same name, she points out that we should not be surprised the Uvalde police stood aside while a crazed gunman was executing… Read More »
[June 3, 2022] Want to be the “adult in the room?” Well, that’s darn easy these days. Just speak the truth. Easy, huh? Nope. Our society turns its collective head away from the most commonsensical, essential truths that made us who we are. This is not about the mental sewer you find on Twitter or the fake friendships… Read More »
[June 2, 2022] During the last U.S. Presidential election campaign, I compiled a list of leadership qualities that define senior leadership. I’m opening them up again because it’s time to re-think what I wrote at the time. I developed these ideas over a long period of my military career. This “list” can compare and contrast politicians and others. … Read More »
[June 1, 2022] Don’t make excuses. No excuses. If you have an obligation, have given your word, or there is an expectation you are to do something, there is no excuse for failing at the goal. Those that make excuses have failed twice, first not getting done what they were supposed to get done, and second, they are… Read More »
[May 27, 2022] My brother and I stood there, looking at the casket of our great-grandfather. This was the first funeral we ever attended. Neither of us wanted to be there. My father made it clear, “You’re going to the funeral, do it for the family.” I couldn’t talk, my brother cried, we were both in shock from… Read More »
[May 26, 2022] Until recently, I was a senior agent of the United States’ FBI, and I’m now retired some seven years. My goal in life is to tell the American people about the massive corruption within the FBI. This is a sad tale. But I’m all in on my campaign to bring back equal justice for every… Read More »
