A Title Can Make You the Boss. It Cannot Make You a Leader.

I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count.

Someone works hard, gets results, and finally receives the promotion they’ve been chasing. They get a new office, a new title, and maybe even a shiny new nameplate on the door.

And somewhere along the way, they make a dangerous assumption: Now I’m a leader.

Not necessarily.

Dad’s Permanent Trailer Plate Has Entered the Surveillance State

Dad thought “permanent trailer plate” meant permanent. Government apparently meant, “until you buy another trailer, peasant.” For generations, recycling an old trailer plate was the kind of technically-wrong rural economics nobody noticed unless a cop had an actual reason to look. Today, cameras, databases, and algorithms potentially can notice—and remember—things no human officer ever would have bothered with.

That raises a bigger question than Dad’s Great Trailer Plate Crime Spree: **When technology makes it possible for government to notice nearly everything, should it?**

Working Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #110: Multiculturalism Is Code For Getting Rid Of White People

In my area it is very white working class. The woke local authority starting recruiting directly from Africa! Try interviewing white rural families when they don’t understand a word you’re saying, and then go back and tell the manager (me) that the family were racist and non compliant!

The FOBbit: How the Army Turns Warriors Into PowerPoint-Slinging Indoor Cats

The Army has a remarkable ability to take a perfectly functional warrior, promote him a few times, hand him three computer monitors, and turn him into a PowerPoint-slinging indoor cat. Thus begins the evolution of the FOBbit: that mysterious creature who once went outside the wire but now survives on RFIs, synchronization meetings, Green Beans coffee, and Baskin-Robbins. The real horror comes when you finally look down at your ice cream, look at your clean uniform, hit “Send” on another 1600 suspense, and realize the terrible truth: Oh, $h!tt! I’m the FOBbit.

Take the grid away for three months and the problem isn’t simply darkness—it’s water, sewage, refrigeration, medicine, fuel, communications, and millions of people discovering that civilization has outsourced most of their basic survival skills. America’s Achilles’ heel may not be that an enemy can defeat our military, but that someone could disrupt the enormous electrical extension cord connecting nearly everything that keeps us alive.

I Don’t Believe in Miracles, Says the Miracle

Modern man says he doesn’t believe in miracles while standing on a wet rock hurtling through space, made of stardust, possessing consciousness nobody can fully explain, pondering a universe nobody can explain why exists. God? Ridiculous. Ancient aliens? Now you have his attention. Maybe we didn’t stop believing—we just changed the vocabulary and became selectively skeptical about which mysteries are socially acceptable. Watch for AFNN next week as we ask the uncomfortable question: “I Don’t Believe in Miracles,” Says the Miracle.

My Pikes Peak Diary: Day One

This is a big trip for me and my sister. We are visiting Pikes Peak to see my dad. And it’s going to be big.

The first thing you should know about my sister Sarah and me is that we like people. It’s just who we are. She and I are both what you’d call extreme “people people.” My father was a people person. And we definitely got his genes.
