Pogues On Parade
Pogues on parade I started this Veteran’s Day column back at the end of July. Often, I finish the weekly treatise right before the deadline every Thursday evening. Given the nonstop news’ cycle, what I have learned over the last 21 years is how it’s a fool’s errand to try and “get ahead.” There are …
Thank You For Your Service
When I first stepped onto the college quad, I was just another young man making his way surveying the lay of the land. For me, however, there were a few personal firsts playing out in real time that none of those aspiring collegians were privy to. For one, I was no longer getting a weekly …
On The Brink
Tomorrow’s election cannot be overstated, as America’s prosperity and global influence lie in the balance making every ballot essential. Recently, The Wall Street Journal reported that one in five claim they need to learn more about Vice President Kamala Harris. In our fingertip world of unending media, this is hard to fathom.

A Binging Monetary Pivot
For the first time since 2020, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by half a percentage point making the range between 4.75% and 5% with anticipation of more to come.
The Undecided Voter
At least three percent of American presidential voters are “undecided.” In a tight race, provided the polls are accurate, 4.7 million Americans remain fence sitters and could be the difference in November’s election.
Alexa Woke Votes
Amazon’s celebrated Alexa caused a justified upheaval after the device was questioned as to which presidential candidate one should vote for. Her responses were…interesting.
Hope Endorses Joy
Accepting the nomination as a cackling caricature of the Wicked Witch of the West dressed in mournful black does not project joy but is a ghoulish facsimile underscoring a campaign that is out for blood.
Important, Yet Unheralded Milestones
July 4, 1776, is arguably the most significant day in American history. Another noteworthy day of Americana arrived on Monday, July 29, 2024, as a footnote, when it is anything but.
Anticipation Is Great In Happy Valley
STATE COLLEGE – Football media day at Penn State has always resembled a military parade. It is a classic pass and review. All the players don their jerseys and are regulated to huddling together by their positions located throughout Holuba Hall’s vast indoor football practice facility. The afternoon’s proceedings have always taken on a very …
The Buzz On The Bus
The time is long past burying our heads in our phones and other narcissistic pursuits while our constitution and the republic founded upon it is being bused over a cliff.
A Big Ten Green-Filled Pasture
