[November 1, 2023] Since the Hamas terror attacks on Israel almost a month ago, there has been much written about what sparked the massacres.

[October 31, 2023] “It’s a bonanza!” yelled my brother Philip as he stared into his haul of goodies. He and I looked forward to Halloween because of the chocolate candy, dressing up in a costume, discovering which of our neighbors were generous and which were cheap, and seeing good friends, yet trying to figure out who was underneath… Read More »
[October 30, 2023] Leader is the root word of leadership. A leader is a person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country, “the leader of a protest group”.

[October 29, 2023] For people who need to find themselves, there is always Waldo Group Therapy – hmmm, just joking. This is a meme, or maybe not if you are one of today’s Gen Z snowflakes.

When we arrived, a tropical storm had done a lot of… Read More »
[October 27, 2023] “You’re average at best.” So begins one of America’s most famous and well-respected image consultants, Kevin Samuels. He shot to popularity for his advice, targeted mainly at black women, but applies across all races and cultures. I first heard of the “godfather,” as he is affectionately known in the dating market, from a young man… Read More »
[October 26, 2023] Anyone reading my blog knows that I firmly stand against Hamas terrorism (see articles here, here, here, and here) and fully support Israel to defend itself in this latest war.

[October 25, 2023] Folks in America are quick to judge the ability of leaders to lead based on their politics or their mannerisms rather than their ability.

[October 24, 2023] This is a true hero from South Africa. Sgt Quentin Smythe won the Victoria Cross in the Western Desert. This is the highest military decoration awarded for valor “in the face of the enemy” to members of the British Armed Forces and various Commonwealth countries (of which South Africa is one). Upon the outbreak of… Read More »
[October 23, 2023] A few days ago, media personality Megyn Kelly interviewed Dave Marcus and Noah Pollak, journalists and political commentators, to discuss the hatred of Jews on American college campuses.
