[November 19, 2021] The 2022 Winter Olympics are scheduled to begin February 4, 2022, in Beijing, China and the neighboring Hebel province.

[November 16, 2021] In 2012, China formally adopted an idealistic set of 12 “core socialist values” at their 18th National Congress.1 This set of values, not unlike core values I’ve written about here in my blog, attempt to set the stage for how citizens of China see themselves in relation to citizens of other nations and among themselves. … Read More »
[November 11, 2021] For more than two centuries, ordinary men and women held their hands up as they were sworn to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” From that small beginning, our Veterans began a journey that took them where very few go. Why do people, and our society, look up to our Veterans? The… Read More »
[November 8, 2021] I have a general rule that I don’t argue with close-minded people. Good counsel says, “Never wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty, and the pig likes it.” And for that reason, I also rarely offer advice.

We hear a… Read More »
[November 3, 2021] Why can’t the U.S. military find good men for great leader jobs? You know why. A decade of “woke” (political progressive activism) mandates, posturing, and propaganda has had its way with our young men. The results are predictable. Throw in suppression of free speech, destruction of the nuclear family, easy drugs, a victimhood culture, and… Read More »
[November 2, 2021] I received the following email from Joe Griffies, a real fighter who helps our most desperate veterans. This is a Vietnam Vet’s fight with the legal system.

[October 31, 2021] There will be a time when you must step up and be the target.

The Catholic Church was raising money to renovate St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. One of the ways they… Read More »
[October 27, 2021] Looking to my left, front, right, and rear, there is a target-rich environment for my “clearing the spindle” series. Much to my dismay, I find that our country is headed down the path of socialism, which is encouraged in part by a complete lack of common sense. The impact of the evils of socialism and… Read More »
[October 13, 2021] There comes a time in all our lives that we must take a position that is neither safe, popular, or diplomatic. We take that position because it is the right thing to do.
