[January 20, 2025] It’s not going to work like the civilized world hoped. At least, the deal is not going to work the way Israel has announced. Here’s why.

[January 19, 2025] I was pessimistic about Joe Biden’s election to the office of the President of the United States. To me, it appeared obvious that Biden lacked the basic moral character to be a good president for all citizens. “Let me be blunt. The real problem is that Joe Biden does not have today, nor has he… Read More »
[January 18, 2025] For the sheer audacity and courage of the ANZAC Light Horsemen who charged over four miles of open terrain into the heavily defended garrison town of Beersheba held by Turkish troops, we salute their gallantry. There are those times when men conducted themselves in a manner that should be remembered for all times. “Tighten up… Read More »
[January 17, 2025] Satire is a form of beauty, and one of the very best portrayals of this form is The Babylon Bee. This site publishes satirical articles on various hot-topic issues.

[January 16, 2025] I found an interesting take on why the Chinese people are almost universally not welcome anywhere outside China. ShanShan, in a recent video, attempted to explain the contrast among Asians, with the Chinese being an outlier.

[January 13, 2025] One of the most tragic failures of the 20th century is the decline and death of the Boy Scouts of America. Anyone interested can discover a laundry list of reasons for their demise, from their movement away from Christianity to opening up to gays and girls in their organization. I lay the blame solely with… Read More »
[January 13, 2025] A short drive north of where I grew up, maybe 15 minutes away, there’s a little town where my grandparents lived. Calling it a small town is giving it perhaps too much credit because there was no traffic light but a reduced speed sign at each end of the lonely main street. Granddaddy and Bigmama… Read More »
[January 12, 2025] The New Year is here, and I believe that America is about to enter a new age of prosperity. Things are looking up across the board despite a number of wars overseas. The good news is that Americans are not dying in them. Today’s Sunday morning in pictures (memes, actually) are here for your pure… Read More »
[January 11, 2025] A good friend of mine is one of those kinds of folks ’marginal’ leaders hate to have around. This man is brutally honest and has zero fear in saying what he thinks.
