[November 12, 2024] In an interview with Ritchie Herron, Ritche tells us of his experiences with “transitioning from a man to a woman.” This is another story of the horror and malevolence of the medical and our political establishments. Richie is “pissed off” with those who actively encouraged him to transition, them saying he was the ideal candidate… Read More »
[November 10, 2024] In the early days of my military career, I thought it important to copy the behavior and speech of those known to be the very best leaders. It came naturally, it seemed to me at the time, to find out what those leaders did when they were not “working” – for example, what they were… Read More »
[November 8, 2024] Out of the blue, I received a call from Father Drucker – the Doo Wop Priest – introducing me to Heather Sliwinski, the CEO and founder of a wonderful non-profit called the Honor and Courage Foundation.

[November 7, 2024] I’m no politician but I do have a good finger on the pulse of most Americans, and like many, I’ve got some common sense too.

I will acknowledge the difficulties when dissecting the general categories of leadership. I break it down into 20 traits. I used information from their political websites, speeches, strategies, stated priorities, policies, and… Read More »
[November 1, 2024] If there is one obvious, unchanging, massive rule in leadership, it’s loyalty to your people. And being loyal as a leader means you don’t insult or in any way denigrate your people, whether they deserve it or not. A couple of days ago, in a public address, President Joe Biden spectacularly failed America as its… Read More »
[October 30, 2024] Half a century ago (yep, that’s a long time ago), I was asked to stand up so my buddy could snap a picture with his Kodak Pocket Instamatic camera. Fort Benning, GA, is where the U.S. Army trains all its Infantry Lieutenants and many enlisted. Those 17 weeks were the most difficult and best training… Read More »
[October 29, 2024] In a recent interview, Elon Musk discussed his thoughts on abortion. As regular readers know, Musk is a smart and highly successful man and someone I often quote. Musk argues that having children directly affects one’s happiness. Most of us, especially those with children, will be quick to agree. Here are his comments. “President Trump… Read More »
[October 28, 2024] The long-awaited Israel kinetic strike on Iran was conducted with precision this past Friday but with restraint. In limiting itself from attacking Iran’s nuclear, oil, and political infrastructure, Israel ceded to American demands. So, what does the strike on Iran mean?
