[July 15, 2023] I entered the U.S. Army in the summer of 1974 as a Private. I was about to learn the meaning of life’s most important principle, and it was not what I thought it was. Like many other recruits, I was physically out of shape when I joined and had a negative outlook on life. … Read More »
[July 14, 2023] I was sitting in church with my family in late February 1962, only a few weeks shy of my 10th birthday, with my favorite yo-yo in my front pocket. My friends and I ran outside to do the “John Glenn” trick when the sermon concluded. This yo-yo trick would be three loops around and… Read More »
[July 13, 2023] This year has been the kiss of death for woke companies pushing their transgender ideology and then suffering massive blowbacks. We all remember the first company to get destroyed, Bud Light beer. The boycott of the beer was so massive that now their name is used as an adverb, “bud lighted,” meaning to be… Read More »
[July 12, 2023] I laughed through their entire skit. The PatriotTwins, ConservativeTwins, and HodgeTwins are YouTube shows by Kevin and Keith Hodge, aka the Hodge Twins, are some of the funniest stand-up comedians I’ve seen in a long time. They are described as “vocal conservatives” (see link), and what I like most about them is they make… Read More »
[July 11, 2023] For several years, I’ve had a series on courage (links here), and it is one of the more popular and garnering many comments across the political spectrum. I’m proud to write today about a young lady who truly embodies the spirit of courage, and she is Riley Gaines, an American former competitive swimmer who competed… Read More »
[July 10, 2023] I was born in Arkansas, close to a line of small towns that ran south into Louisiana along what is now state Route 165, where all my relatives married, worked, raised their families, and died. My hometown is Mer Rouge, where I learned to be a young man. I lived in this little village, without… Read More »
[July 9, 2023] In his book Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning, published just this year, Professor Nigel Biggar presents a strong case that our present understanding of colonialism has little grounding in fact. Using the BritishEmpires’ system, he shows, contrary to popular belief, that British colonialism was a strong force that marshaled itself against slavery, racism, and other “sins”… Read More »
[July 8, 2023] It was the Fall of 1960. I attended the second grade at a small school in a rural northeast Louisiana town. There I met a few men from the Korean War. The younger of these men helped teach us kids how to throw a spitball, steal a base, and do a proper bunt in baseball. … Read More »
[July 7, 2023] The new and heavily redacted State Department report on our failure in Afghanistan (see link here) shockingly places the responsibility for our withdrawal on the Biden White House. I say shockingly because the U.S. State Department is a shill for the Biden administration, so it is now evident that no amount of pussy-footing around the… Read More »
[July 6, 2023] It is not surprising to those paying attention that the U.S. Government has been using social media platforms to suppress free speech. They have encouraged media giants to remove what they see as “misinformation.” Gee, what could go wrong with the government telling us what is misinformation? Plenty. On July 4th – our Independence Day… Read More »
