[April 21, 2023] Last year, Matt Walsh released a brilliant documentary titled What is a Woman? Just this past October, I wrote about it here. You might think that after all this time, someone might be capable of answering this simple question. I know my seven-year-old granddaughter can answer it. The United States Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona,… Read More »
[April 20, 2023] A more precise question, and not dissimilar to this question, is ‘What is the most fundamental moral responsibility of a parent?’ The answer is to encourage your children to be great companions of other children while playing. Drs. Jordan Peterson and Jean Piaget attempt to answer this question. Here, summarized, are some of their thoughts.… Read More »
[April 19, 2023] That day, the senior NCO on duty gave me a simple choice. I was transitioning out of the U.S. Army as an enlisted man, and it was August, a very hot and sweltering day. I could see Soldiers outside mowing the grass on the grassy parade field next to the building where I sat. I… Read More »
[April 18, 2023] Mostly through opportunities, the U.S. Army taught me about listening closely to what my Soldiers had to say. And, fair enough, that is important advice. But one thing they did not teach is the point I will make today. When you listen to someone, do not assume you know what they are talking about. Ask… Read More »
[April 17, 2023] The importance of eating meals together with others is often overlooked or taken for granted. I wrote a couple of times about this and focused my attention on the pragmatism of what I gained from these meals. In one recent article, I wrote of the reasons to eat your meal with others, but there is… Read More »
[April 16, 2023] One essential behavior about people that we really don’t understand and should understand is that we are inherently unappreciative. Fyodor Dostoevsky insightfully wrote that if you set up a utopia so that all people had to do was eat cake and busy themselves with the continuation of the species (Russian humor), after a short bit… Read More »
[April 15, 2023] Over the past few weeks, as I lay in the hospital bed after major surgery, I thought of the lessons we fail to tell good men. Those lessons I will write about can make good men even better. Better than they ever could think they could be, these lessons deserve to be laid out and… Read More »
[April 14, 2023] I’m not a New Yorker, but I did live in NYC for five years (minus a year in Iraq), where I enjoyed the amenities of living in the Big Apple. Fortunately, my wife Nancy is from NYC (Brooklyn) and acted as an experienced tour guide to all the good things it had to offer. But… Read More »
[April 13, 2023] My maternal grandmother, we called her Bigmama, used to say, “Never underestimate other people.” She was right. The beer company Anheuser-Busch is taking a beating over a nationwide boycott of its Bud Light product after rolling out a transgender TikTok influencer to promote its beer. Bud Light attempted to improve its sales among young people… Read More »
[April 12, 2023] In 1776, Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” pamphlet took colonial America by storm and critically argued for declaring independence from England. In 2023, we see common sense women storming onto the scene, convincing us that feminism is destroying both women and men. Earlier this year, I highlighted Jedediah Bila, a video podcaster and a real tiger… Read More »
