[August 3, 2026] A recent question being asked that strikes hard at American values is whether NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani should attend the city’s upcoming 9/11 ceremony. The answer is easy. Yes, he should attend, and perhaps not for the more obvious reasons. Relatives of 9/11 victims are rightly “pissed” that he wants to attend, and yet he… Read More »
[August 2, 2026] I found Prof. Jordan Peterson’s advice to be insightful in a snippet of a lecture he gave called “You Betrayed the Grandfather You Were Going to Be.” In his video, he begins with discussing the pattern of attitudes toward women and sex. One of these patterns is characterized by preference for so-called short-term mating opportunities;… Read More »
[July 31, 2026] Inevitably, I get asked this question whenever I go to High Schools to talk about what it is to be a Veteran. Those students pushed me to provide a better answer than “when you turn 18.” So, when do you become an adult?” I’m a student of Prof. Jordan Peterson’s ideas, and he often discusses… Read More »
[July 28, 2026] The state of Minnesota, under the “leadership” of Governor Tim Walz (yes, that same failed VP candidate), plans to issue “transgender dolls to children.” And these kids could be as young as four. This is evil. It is state approved, tax-payer funded child grooming of the worse kind. Credit to John Hinderaker of PowerLineBlog for… Read More »
[July 27, 2026] In America, and likely the rest of the West, a subtle but alarming cultural shift is underway right in front of us. A number of influential voices now claim that a specific list of traits is indicative of ‘racism.’ Jordan Peterson addresses this claim in a recent post on X. What distinguishes Peterson is that,… Read More »
[July 25, 2026] Father Jim Drucker, Philly’s Doo Wop Priest, is a staunch supporter of JB Bakery, and rightly so as he alerted me to this wonderful business. If you have a sweet tooth like me, this is the place for you. In the past, I’ve highlighted businesses that have core values that drive their success. JB Bakery… Read More »
[July 16, 2026] There was nothing at all like it; not before and not since. Growing up in the 50s and 60s was like trying to wrestle a pig in a muddy ditch; it’s very personal, dirty, and you’re happy it’s over. Describing those times is like stepping back into a black-and-white photo of nostalgia. Yet that raw… Read More »
[July 15, 2026] The slogan that “All Cultures Are Equal” is anti-truth. Such an idea is not merely false; it is a deliberate inversion of reality—worse than an ordinary lie. Most Westerners instinctively recognize it as false, observing that cultures produce dramatically different outcomes in prosperity, freedom, human rights, safety, and innovation. Regular readers of this site know… Read More »
[July 11, 2026] Occasionally, I find solace in old books that I have on my book shelf. One of those published a short poem by W. Livingston Larned (copyright May 1935), titled “Father Forgets.” It’s a father’s monologue to his sleeping son, showing his vivid remorse for holding a young boy to the standards of an adult. The… Read More »
[July 10, 2026] “Why do we need patriotism?” is a question often asked in America today, and the fact it is being asked points to a deep problem in our culture. Fortunately, there are many of us who have attempted to give a useful answer. At PragerU, in a series of videos published on the 4th of July… Read More »
