Is America Experiencing A ‘Revenge Of The Nerds’ Moment?
When I was a kid, I remember watching the 1984 movie “Revenge of the Nerds” and laughing at the ridiculousness of it. I understood it on a kid’s level as a comedy. A few years ago, I re-watched it and understood it on a different & deeper level. I saw understood it as two factions: …
Post Modernism and the Commandments
A a person who torments you out of greed will be satisfied when he takes what is yours. A person who torments you for your own good will never be satisfied.

I Stepped Off the Side of the Earth in 1968
50 years after graduation from West Point is a time for remembering. My memories of a Hellish summer aren’t a criticism of anything or anyone – lest sensitivities be triggered in comparison. It’s just one story of the past to tell and consider thoughtfully.
The Ten Commandments Part II
Last time we met, we looked at the first three commandments that God gave to his people through Moses. For the purposes of better understanding western thought, it is critical to recognize that the Ten Commandants have been the bedrock of western morality for centuries. As we discussed, the entire law of Moses is predicated on two …
Crisis Warfare
For anyone of sound mind who hasn’t been in a coma for the past year, it will come as no surprise that our American way of life has been significantly (and perhaps permanently) hamstrung by the likes of people claiming to want to “keep us safe.” While many seem to appreciate and support the notion that …
USMA Class of 1972: 50 Years Ago and Now. Why It Matters Is Why I Care (Part 2 of 3)
How my West Point Class of 1972 mattered to the Army is why I care about West Point today. That begs the question, “Why does West Point matter?” What matters today – for the Class of 2022?
The Left Thinks You Just Don’t Live Properly!
In the 51 years since I left my mother’s house, I have lived in apartments, rented single family homes, an owned half-duplex, an owned single family home, and now, finally, an owned farmhouse on actual farmland. We have exactly one neighboring home, about 100 yards away, as our houses are the only two on a …
What Do You See in the Families Around You?
What a strange culture we are living in. Everything is being turned on its head. Good is bad and bad is good. It’s fascinating to watch and horrifying to consider the inevitable outcome of this topsy turvy society. I remember well the books and films I ingested as a child, they were full of themes …
Celestial Mechanics and Morality – A Total Eclipse
Orbital Mechanics, Image: Wikipedia We are indeed in dark times. Our government seems feckless and focused on supporting criminals, both foreign and domestic, over the concerns and rights of you and me, the average American citizen. Government printing presses whirl endlessly, printing Benjamins with reckless abandon. Inflation? What, me worry? Our revered military appears …
Police and Force
We’ve just had another horrific mass shooting…the murder of 19 elementary school students and two of their teachers, coupled with the background of a rising violence rate that has 9.5 Mass Shooting equivalents taking place in Chicago every week of the year.

One Front: Two Wars Revisited
One Front: Two Wars Revisited I wrote this a week after 9-11. In the 20 years since then, I’ve written over 1,000 pieces. This piece may still be the best because it was so spot on – even though the War against Islamist Totalitarian picked up the initial moniker of Global War on Terrorism instead of my …

Heroes Reveal the Character of Their Country
It has often been said that a country’s heroes reveal its character. If that is true, the fact that most Russians admire Vladimir Putin even after his criminal invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent war crimes he has committed in that country is profoundly troubling. Before we shake our heads at the Russians and their …
