[June 18, 2024] In my preoccupation studying totalitarian regimes, their military systems, governmental policies, and ideologies, one of the more fascinating ideas that keep cropping up is their obsession over symbols. This idea of the fear of or attraction to symbols is a particularly strong feature of radical leftist political ideas. The old flag that I’m using as… Read More »
[June 17, 2024] When the Islamic terror organization Hamas waged war on Israel on October 7th last year by purposefully targeting young people at a music festival, my first reaction was that I’d read about such atrocities before. I was immediately drawn to compare the growth of the Nazis in Europe with the rise of Hamas, who now… Read More »
[June 16, 2024] I was reeling in a largemouth bass as hard as my little hands could work the fishing rod. And I was scared of falling out of the boat and into the deep lake water where my weak swimming ability would surely put an end to my life. I’m now a Boomer-Geezer American, raised by combat… Read More »
[June 15, 2024] I’ve often been asked, “Why are you building this World War II memorial?” “Why are you going to all that trouble and spending all that money?” Or some similar questions.

[June 14, 2024] Each year, on Flag Day, I get to remind my fellow Veterans that today is more than remembering our national flag. ‘Old Glory’ – as many like to call her – is the epitome of a moral good. She links us to America, our past and future. And that is no trivial matter in 2024… Read More »
[June 13, 2024] After a 14-month-long censorship of Nashville Christian school shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale’s manifesto by police and the FBI, local news outlets released parts of her writings. Ben Johnson from The Washington Stand gives us a good analysis of the depravity of Audrey’s descent into the madness of transgender ideology. “The handwritten entries, which deeply reflect… Read More »
[June 12, 2024] Tomorrow, I will give a short speech at a ceremony at Rowan College, where veterans will receive a county medal recognizing their honorable military service. Here is a draft of what I will say. Please take a moment to give me some feedback. Thank you. Just last week in Atlantic City, we dedicated a World… Read More »
[June 11, 2024] Being a prankster is like being a comedian. Both are working hard for a good laugh. But, the prankster is more devious because any successful prankster must be anonymous. And, yes, there was a brief time I wanted to be a standup comic, too. Growing up, I was a bit of a prankster and, on… Read More »
[June 10, 2024] This past Saturday, Israeli forces freed four hostages held by Hamas during a raid into a central Gazan “refugee camp.” A New York Post story details much of the operation and its audaciousness and brilliance. Any average person would consider this rescue fantastic news and an excellent example of good overcoming evil. But that was… Read More »
[June 9, 2024] At least we know their priorities. The Pentagon screwed up their PTSD Awareness campaign with their fawning Pride Month posting on social media. In a recent article in FoxNews, it was written that the Department of Defense “made an embarrassing error on social media.” Ya think! FoxNews might have chosen a better adjective. In the… Read More »
