[September 27, 2022] The Fall weather is teasing us here in Southern Jersey; the winds increased, temps and humidity falling, and shorter days. This is the time of year I begin some serious reading. Luckily I was in the library near where I live and ran across a book on Dunkirk. Ever since the movie Dunkirk (2017) came… Read More »
[September 26, 2022] “The only way to make this world a better place is to respect each other.” I believe that is false. I believe that we should respect only those who have earned it. If we respect everybody randomly, then what use is respect? Respect is limited to that category of people who have earned respect in… Read More »
[September 25, 2022] Early last week, the Galloway Township Public School formally adopted gender theory into their program for grades K-8. This was a blow to parents who stood against introducing an unproven, malevolent theory into their schools. We are seeing this acted out across the nation. One “Love” t-shirt wearing school board member said that it was… Read More »
[September 24, 2022] The life of military kids can be an exciting and varied one, but it also has the potential to be unhappy. According to public media advocates The American Homefront Project, research has shown that the frequent moves that military teens are subjected to can develop isolation and harm their mental health. It’s a fairly common tale; a new… Read More »
[September 23, 2022] The death of Queen Elizabeth II has come at an unfortunate time in the world, especially for Western nations. The Queen had a particularly grand level of fame, far above political figures that come and go. Dr. Jordan Peterson spoke recently in England about her and hyper-famous people and the difficulty of having people surrounding… Read More »
[September 22, 2022] Many who work in education and government sincerely believe that creating safe spaces is proper and correct to protect vulnerable people. While that gesture originates in compassion, such an idea is absolutely wrong and destructive in the long run. There are no safe spaces in the world. The world is a tough place to be.… Read More »
[September 21, 2022] Two days ago, my dad passed away at 93. He is now with his wife Mary of 71 years (and my mother), who passed away a mere two weeks ago. My heart is broken, but it would be ungrateful to think, even for a minute, “Why me?” when I was privileged to have Daddy until… Read More »
[September 20, 2022] You need to have a vision for your life. Not some whimsical outlook on your life, but you need to seriously believe in what you want and be willing to make the sacrifices necessary. You have to be all in on it. You’re not okay the way you are! Dr. Jordan Peterson speaks to this… Read More »
[September 19, 2022] For many years of my career in the military, and as part of my duty as a senior commander, I often dealt with the improper and illegal behavior of my Soldiers. One of the more tragic issues was the involuntary discharge of Soldiers under less than honorable conditions. The cause? Illegal hard drug use. In… Read More »
[September 18, 2022] I was surprised when I read my local school board’s code of ethics. Their code was transparently unethical. Nowhere have I witnessed a code of ethics that requires its adherents to “obey” all the laws and rules of the state. A rigid following of human-created law has historical led us to a path to tyranny… Read More »
