The Impostors
I joined social media in my thirties. Back then, social media was still a new, exciting frontier. Sort of like outer space except no zero-gravity toilets.

When Evil Silences a Voice: From MLK to Charlie Kirk
In April 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was gunned down in Memphis. His death was not random. It was not the product of chance. It was the deliberate silencing of a man who dared to challenge power, expose lies, and stand firm for truth.
The Symbolism of 9/11, Part 1: The Long Arc of a Nation’s Fall
From a purely tactical standpoint, the September 11th attacks were devastating. But from a psychological warfare perspective, they were almost surgical in their symbolism. Striking America’s tallest towers and its military headquarters was not just about destruction—it was about message.
Fundraising, Renovation, and a New Era at Beaver Stadium
It was quite the off season for Penn State athletics. In July, Penn State in conjunction with the Nittany Lion Club announced a record-breaking fundraising year of $164.9 million.
Sweet Carolina
South Carolina. The distant backroads. Deep forest. Lots of Spanish moss. I am stuck behind an asthmatic pickup.
What is Normal? When Does it Become Abnormal? by George Mcclellan
When, by edict the abnormal is normalized and people still resist, those responsible must then accept the blame for the violence that follows
Army of Chaos: How Civilian Marketers Tried to Sell the Army (and Failed Miserably)
Since the All-Volunteer Force started in 1973, the Army decided the best way to fill ranks was… marketing. Not rigorous recruiting, not showing the realities of military life
Back to School…Still Milking Cows: America’s Education Calendar Is Stuck in the 1800s
I didn’t like the year-round model at first. It sucks going back a month earlier than the government schools (yes, government schools—let’s stop pretending they’re anything else). But after living it, I can tell you the payoff is real.
Dems Cracker Barreling Our Country
Democrats are trying to convince us that America is no longer the great country we think we are.
The Strong Delusion of AI
Technology is advancing today at break-neck speed. As I mentioned in a previous message, research now shows that by the end of this year, technology and human knowledge will be doubling every twelve hours! I can’t comprehend that. Can you?
Moral relativism part 3: The Secret to Solving Mass Shootings? Start Valuing Life Again
Everyone wants a neat, clean solution to mass shootings. But here’s the uncomfortably simple truth nobody wants to say out loud: the real problem isn’t hardware—it’s heartware.
A Nation’s Lunacy—Delusions in Politics!
Cultural idioms are entertaining. One of my favorites described a person who was not mentally quite right as, “you have to overlook that fella because his butter has slid off his biscuit.”
George Mcclellan: It Is Not the Gun! It is the Person Using the Gun! It is the Sick People!
Violence by gunfire, with the specific intent to kill little children and church or school staff, is evil and apparently a growing choice by transgender afflicted persons
Moral Relativism Part 2: The Culture of Violence
If Part 1 showed how moral relativism erodes dignity, Part 2 is about what happens when that erosion finally shows itself in blood.
Moral Relativism, Part 1: Black Lives Matter and the Death of Moral Certainty in America
Moral relativism says there’s no absolute right or wrong. That humans, just like cockroaches, are accidents of the cosmos. That life itself has no intrinsic value.
Another Thing I Voted For
Another example of a normal America. A cease fire in the war on firearms and ammunition. Thank You Donald Trump!
O Say Can You See
I remember before the game, things got very quiet. All 30-odd thousand people rose. The throngs of stadium chairs creaking sounded like the world was splitting.
Fix the Service Academies
Something stinketh on The Plain above the Hudson. It’s Cultural Marxist black mold. A lot of institutional drywall must be ripped out to find all the rot.
Current news: From Sodom to the Playa: God’s Weather Report for Burning Man
First, there was Sodom and Gomorrah, where God rained down fire and brimstone. Fast forward a few millennia, and apparently, the Almighty has updated His judgment toolkit: mud bogs, flash floods, dust storms, and 50-mph winds.
