Joe Biden, Rodney Dangerfield 2.0
In Biden’s world all problems can be blamed on Putin or Trump or DeSantis or whoever else springs into his mind at the time.

Tell Me About the Good Old Days
We are seeing flag officers bow low to the current culture climate. We are seeing the Commander-in-Chief wage war on his military.
Hail to the Chief
Restoring the soul of the nation. That’s what Biden promised. Instead we got division and ridicule. Condoning aberrant behavior beginning with his family and extending into all facets of society. Ignoring illegal behavior in his Administration. Fabricating positive foreign policies and economic successes. POTUS approval, 40%. Ethics approval, 40%. news.gallup.com And military.com reports even confidence …
Biden Administration: What Else Could Happen?
From day one, the Biden Administration has made train wrecks look like well-orchestrated, smoothly running events.
The Nine Tenets Of Conservatism
These 9 tenets of conservatism are the beliefs that unite us here in the hills of North Carolina. If they are yours, make them known!
Modern Day Show Trials
persecution, noun. per-se-cu-tion. The condition of being harassed, persecuted, or annoyed. political, adjective. po-lit-i-cal. Of, or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of government. Put ’em together and we have “The Trump Files.” Here we go again. The most pursued man in the history of the Presidency is once again charged with crimes. …
Because of the Brave
The Land of the Free Because of the Brave As it evolved from its original intent, Decoration Day, to honor those lost in the Civil War, Memorial Day is a way to honor all those who died in all wars in service to our country. But when I think about it, it means so much …
Journalism Then And Now
I believe real journalism has fallen. Or has at least taken a sabbatical. And the people that think they are “journalists” seem to be lacking a spine. Take for example the White House Press Corp. Will hard hitting questions and challenge ever return? Taking a cue from the Kingston Trio, “Will they ride forever through …
A Republic, If We Can Keep It.
I am certainly no classical scholar, I leave that to men like Victor Davis Hansen whom I greatly admire. But I have read some of the ancients. And truth be known, they were prescient in their thoughts. And eternal in their wisdom. We simply haven’t, and don’t, pay attention. So the following offers a few …
America, A Nation Of Grievances
America has become a nation of grievances. Is anyone else but me tired of the whining? In 1911, Booker T. Washington wrote, “There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able …
America Needs Strong Men, Not Weak Pajama Boys
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.” ~G. Michael Hopf
The Toxic Males Among Us
“Toxic Masculinity” has apparently been around since the 1980s, and feminists have used it to explain the “irredeemable toxic masculinity of white male elites.”
The Age of Upside Down
“Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?” ~Simon and Garfunkel 1967. Seems appropriate in this age of upside down. Where are the heroes? Where are the adults? Where are the sheepdogs that protect the flocks? Are they gone or just uncaring? Who stands for the values that made us? I’m in my 70s and, by the …
Ideology Trumps Common Sense
I recently saw the comments of Admiral Rachel Levine, the Assistant Secretary of Health, on the “Transgender Day of Visibility.” She said this four days after a transgender man murdered 3 teachers and 3 children (aged 9) in a Nashville, TN Christian school. “As a proud transgender woman, I celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility by …
Old School Air Force vs DEI
During my time in the U.S. Air Force, all I saw were people of all ranks, men and women of every color and creed oriented toward one goal, FLY, FIGHT, WIN!
Protect and Defend
The Oath of Office for the President in Article 2, Sec 1, US Constitution reads: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” The part we …
Women’s Suffrage
Note to the Reader. Any missed nuance found by those more knowledgable than I, was made by oversight, not intent. John Stewart Mill says that every successful mass movement has three stages: The first stage is ridicule. The second is discussion. The third is acceptance. This piece is the result of a discussion I had …
The Oath
In Civics we learned the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, but Joe seems determined to make it a “living” document subject to his interpretation.
Abuses, Then and Now
“When in the Course of human events…” The document which started us on the path to liberty stands in stark contrast to the path that we are on. Let’s look at some of the charges made against King George III. Specifically, at five abuses within the Declaration that triggered our rebellion and what they might …
The End of US
Let’s take a overview of the 2 ½ years of Biden’s administration. Remember that 40% of the time he’s been in office has been “on vacation.” So he really can’t be blamed for the following. Can he? Thousands of petroleum jobs destroyed; America’s energy independence ruined; Keystone pipeline cancelled without coordinating with Canada; reinitiated the …
