[October 16, 2023] She had a great body, was content and cooperative, and had a sweet temperament. And she seemed to like me. Every afternoon after school, I visited her, visited her family, talked to her, and helped as best I could. I was 11, and Bessy was 6, and she always seemed to appreciate me being there… Read More »
[October 15, 2023] Just now, coming to light, we are hearing that the Veterans Affairs is promoting abortion and suggesting men can get pregnant (link here). A leaked VA video promotes abortions and more “medically accurate” terminology, such as “person who is pregnant” over pregnant women.

[October 14, 2023] I’ve had doubts about NYC Mayor Eric Adams, particularly his pandering to special interest groups and missed opportunities. But, I missed his Sunday, October 10th rally, where he made it clear that New York stands with Israel. His remarks were made the day after the Hamas terror attacks on Israel. He says that he not… Read More »

[October 12, 2023] As a U.S. Army Private, I witnessed a strange event during one of my unit’s formations that stuck with me. Our Platoon Leader, a new Second Lieutenant, yelled at our platoon one day. Our Commander strolled out, put his hand on the LT’s shoulder, and calmly gave him some advice. I couldn’t hear what was… Read More »
[October 11, 2023] The sun burned our skin, and the humidity made us feel like we were suffocating. I remember the relentless sun, incessant bugs, circling buzzards (lots of buzzards), people dragging their kids about, and some adults dressed up in old-fashioned military uniforms. At the time, I wondered why my Dad had taken this family trip, about… Read More »
[October 10, 2023] My friends often ask me this question. Is the U.S. State Department Run by idiots? They know I worked with (but not for) the State Dept. in 2009 & 10. I got a good understanding of how they operate internally. Here is how I answer their questions. “Idiots do NOT run the U.S. State Department.” … Read More »
[October 9, 2023] Humor is an art form. Art comes in many forms: painting, sculpture, literature, architecture, cinema, theater, music, and video/humor. One of my favorite commentators on the web is Amala Ekpunobi who alerted me to a great piece of comedic stereotyping, title White People on a Hike.

[October 8, 2023] John Hinderaker from PowerLineBlog makes an excellent point: this is not Israel’s 9/11 but their Pearl Harbor. The distinction is well-argued and vital. Getting the analogy right early in this war helps us set our perspective properly. This attack is no mere act of Hamas terrorism but is an act of war carried out by… Read More »
[October 7, 2023] Americans were waking up this morning to the news that Hamas has launched attacks inside Israel from the Gaza Strip. From all indications, this is a significant effort by Hamas to inflict maximum casualties on Israel. Some are comparing this to America’s 9/11.
