In Remembrance of a Great Nation
Democrats are the lords of social chaos. Their tools are the illegal aliens, Black Lives Matter, the druggies and criminals on our streets.
History
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 …
Trump’s Most Ardent Followers Do Him a Disservice
There is an “only Trump” coalition which is the mirror image of the “never Trump” coalition — and they’re just as destructive.
The Romans Road
The Romans Road “Rome was a poem pressed into service as a city.” ~Anatole Broyard The Romans were good at a lot of things. While touring Europe, I was able to see much of the work they left behind that sometimes looks in better condition than the roads in my hometown of Helena, Montana. But …
Review of “Bibi: My Story,” by Benjamin Netanyahu.
Review of “Bibi: My Story,” by Benjamin Netanyahu is essentially a self portrait by arguably the most significant Israeli Prime Minister since Golda Meir
Who Do I Shoot?
Who do you hold accountable when forces beyond your reach crush you? When it happens, you’ll focus on survival. Afterwards, justice should be served.
Lessons Not Learned: Iraq, Ukraine, and US Strategy
Lessons Not Learned: Ukraine, Iraq, and US Military Strategy The twentieth anniversary of the Iraq War arrived without fanfare in US political circles. It is not politically expedient to draw attention to the ambiguous-at-best results achieved there after the sacrifice of 4,500 US military personnel with many more wounded and suffering from psychological trauma, and …
Ben Stein is Right (Sort of): Black Americans Have “Never Had it So Good”
Recently, actor-cum-commentator Ben Stein was condemned in media for touting the progress the U.S. has made, saying that black Americans “never had it so good.”
Why Are We Here? (Part 4)
“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” ~ Psalm 16:11
So Goes West Point, So Goes The Army.
If West Point fails to produce the next Generals, Grant and Eisenhower, then it’s not difficult to imagine that the dangerous world situation overcomes America.
The Forever Wars
Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
The Knock Out Punch to CRT
Stopping Critical Race Theory means you, Citizen–have to change what’s being taught by the Higher Ed that teaches teachers. It can and must be done.
The New World Disorder; There Are No Coincidences
Having taken part in private investigations for a number of years I learned ed early on that there are no coincidences. Same with our New World Disorder.
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 …
History Wars in Virginia
History Wars in Virginia; The Virginia School Board corrected their awful first draft of the Standards of Learning for History and Social Studies. The Democrats controlling the Virginia Senate rejected the Republican Governor’s appointments to the Virginia Board of Education for cleaning up the CRT and other errors in the first draft. The better, revised draft …
Tales of The Trail Boss: Part 3: The Great Train Robbery
Tales of The Trail Boss: Part 3: The Great Train Robbery When last we met, I regaled you with a story about the epic battle between The Trail Boss and Tallil Tom, an Iraqi turkey with a bad attitude. This time the saga continues with, The Great Train Robbery. In this episode, I’ll introduce another …
Name Your Enemy
For over 20 years I’ve despaired of finding the right name for the political opposition to Conservatives, the ideas of the American Revolution, and our 1787 Constitution as amended. Nothing fit. Much like the floundering the Bush Administration babbled about our enemies post 9-11 and in Iraq after we invaded – if you can’t name …
Archbishop Of Canterbury
Since the topic came up, recently, about the Church of England, I feel compelled to add my observations. What has been going on, lately, started before I was born, and it has been causing concern for decades. To try to avoid misunderstandings, the Church of England is a group of many diverse churches under …
Why Are We Here? (Part 2)
Why are we here? why do we exist. Is it to merely live out our lives as best we can and then pass on, soon to be forgotten?
Elections And War
Elections and war; Whose rules does a successful military use to win battles? Is it the enemy’s rules? I’m asking because some seem to think, in politics, that we should play by the opponent’s rules. Someone, somewhere else, came up with the idea that we should begin to march as our opponents …
