“Hey, drink this.” I was freezing cold in Dad’s jon boat as we puttered down the Ouachita River. The bayou Bonne Idee was closer but Dad wanted us to go where he’d heard the fish were biting. Off we went, my brother Philip and I were on another fishing trip with Dad. Dad seemed to have been born… Read More »
[March 9, 2024] The bayou water was like glass, not a ripple, nothing moving except our aluminum flat-bottom jon boat as it slowly glided along with its silent electric motor. It was also dark out, black as ink. I held the flashlight. Dad navigated the boat. Earlier that day, Dad said matter-of-factly, “Hey Douglas, let’s go gigging.” I… Read More »
[March 3, 2024] I first became aware of Cassie Jaye several years ago on a TEDx Talk (link here), where she described her time “meeting the enemy.” As a self-described proud feminist and a documentary filmmaker, she decided to find and document what she thought was the misogynistic men’s movement. It was 2013, and she wanted to go… Read More »
[March 1, 2024] Karma is a mean dog sometimes. The first time I’d ever heard of it, I thought “moonshine” was some disease, and after tasting the vile stuff, I had no reason to alter my mind. As a struggling High School student (I wouldn’t say I liked school), I was attracted to some unsavory types. Bad choices,… Read More »

His talks span many contemporary topics such as faith, politics, being a man, the role of women, dating, marriage, and more. He does all this with humor and a positive attitude but is always in command of the facts. He is… Read More »
[February 26, 2024] There was once a time where we in America could make good predictions about the future, our children would live better than us, cars and airplane travel was safer, crime was falling, wars were less likely, and our families were considered important. No longer. Someone once said that our world is just weird weird. Today… Read More »
[February 25, 2024] Javier Milei is Argentina’s hero, and I will add that he is also an International hero. Why? He has single-handedly turned around the social and economic fortunes of Argentina and shown the world that the insidious Woke/Progressive/Leftist modern ideologies are inherently destructive and morally unfair. As Argentina’s new President, he has embarked on a one-man… Read More »
[February 24, 2024] Growing up, we kids never channel surfed on our television set. There was only one clear channel. Plus, we rarely watched television because our Dad set strict limits. One of those rare times we were permitted to watch, we saw the 1941 movie “Sergeant York” on our old black and white. The young man, Alvin… Read More »
[February 23, 2024] I woke up in a sweat, my heart pumping and my mouth dry. It was the same dream I’d had since I was a little kid and before I could remember my dreams. It was not a nightmare, not too scary or crazy, but not uncommon either; it was a frustrating dream that little kids… Read More »
[February 18, 2024] For the gazillionth time, my Mom told me to get my elbows off the table and to stop chewing with my mouth open. Supper time was the most important meal of the day, and everyone in our family was to be there – like a rule – I was told to help by setting the… Read More »
