[November 9, 2021] Our Drill Sergeants in Basic Combat Training took sadistic pleasure in screaming at us raw recruits … at least it seemed that way. After a long march or any similar difficult task, they would say to us, “time for a gut check.” In other words, they wanted to know if we had the intestinal fortitude… Read More »
[November 7, 2021] I know what you’re thinking; our education system in American is a target-rich environment for bashing. That is undoubtedly tempting, but my purpose here is to show a few reasons why school choice works and that mandatory public school education may not be the best path for the future of any country. We hear a… Read More »
[November 6, 2021] America is undoubtedly the land of the free and a nation that rewards those that work hard. I live in the state of New Jersey. Waking up Wednesday morning, I had an email from a friend who wrote that NJ Democrat Senator Steve Sweeney lost the election to a Republican trucker driver named Edward Durr.… Read More »
[November 5, 2021] America’s senior Generals and Admirals (both active and retired) have failed the United States. This can be witnessed in their dysfunctional and dangerous behavior. We can see it in their rapid drift away from their sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. America’s military has one mission; to protect the… Read More »
[November 3, 2021] Why can’t the U.S. military find good men for great leader jobs? You know why. A decade of “woke” (political progressive activism) mandates, posturing, and propaganda has had its way with our young men. The results are predictable. Throw in suppression of free speech, destruction of the nuclear family, easy drugs, a victimhood culture, and… Read More »
[November 1, 2021] The title of today’s leadership article, “Let’s Go Bingo,” requires explanation. You’re right in assuming that “Bingo” fills the same place as “Brandon” in the more familiar slogan of today. Bingo is a child’s song; however, in this case, it’s also the nickname of one bad dude, known as “Bingo the Thief.” Long before I’d… Read More »
[October 31, 2021] There will be a time when you must step up and be the target. Martin Luther, a Catholic Priest, nails 95 theses to the Castle Catholic Church door at Wittenburg, Germany, on this date, October 31, 1517. The Catholic Church was raising money to renovate St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. One of the ways they… Read More »
[October 29, 2021] General George S. Patton was one of America’s greatest generals. There is hardly a person alive today who has not heard of him and his exploits during World War II. But that’s only part of the story. Patton surrounded himself with some of the best people in operational warfare and allowed them to do their… Read More »
[October 28, 2021] A well-known characteristic of great leaders is a thick-skinned personality. This is only possible when the leader is one that possesses extensive, broadly-based, and relevant experiences. Yet, this does not necessarily mean the leader is arrogant or uncaring. In the best of leaders, being thick-skinned means also being humble and optimistic. Being thick skinned means… Read More »
[October 27, 2021] Looking to my left, front, right, and rear, there is a target-rich environment for my “clearing the spindle” series. Much to my dismay, I find that our country is headed down the path of socialism, which is encouraged in part by a complete lack of common sense. The impact of the evils of socialism and… Read More »
