Whatever It Takes–Maybe
I stopped at a red-light and saw this, “PRESIDENT BIDEN, STOP THE GAZA GENOCIDE,” just after it was reported that 12 Druze children were killed by a Hezbollah rocket targeting civilians

An Open Letter to the U.S. Air Force
Today we wonder why patriotism is at a low for younger people. We wonder why we can’t meet recruiting or retention goals. Why our senior leaders apparently don’t understand what unit cohesiveness is all about.

America Last?
On national policy when questioned, “What do you consider the greatest concern at the national level?” The answers below came from 126 Republicans, 58 Democrats, and 69 Unaffiliated.
A Dysfunctional America
Look at what has occurred, and what is occurring. The last three years appear to me to be a good study guide for “Marxism/Leninism 101.” No joke.
America We Hardly Knew Ye
Joe Biden is the epitome of his disregard, and unforgivable to those of us who served; he holds his “oath of office” in contempt.
PART II: The Age of Presidents and the Holy Grail, 1971-1991
Finding the “arms race” particularly expensive, Russia and the US entered into a period of give and take. And in the spirit of giving, when Nixon made a historic visit to China, the US dropped our objection to China’s presence in the UN, and China appeared on the world stage.
The Cold War in Retrospect
When I was in War College in 1991 at the conclusion of the Cold War, it was reported that a Russian general purportedly said, “You have lost the best enemy you ever had.” Perhaps, looking back, the words were indeed prophetic.

Hamas/ISIS/Hezbolla-Iran-Supported Wolves at the Door
Supporting Hamas, ISIS & Hezbolla, Iran-Supported Wolves at the Door, who slaughtered (for what better word is there) innocents without cause, is beyond the pale., beyond humanity.
Appeasement Has Always Failed
Beginning with Obama’s Middle East policies and Joe’s continuance of them, Iran has now more freedom to foment terrorism than ever before.
Joe Biden, Rodney Dangerfield 2.0

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.

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.

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 …
