Did you hear that the Women’s NCAA championship game drew a larger television audience, 18.9 million, than the men’s game?  Women’s basketball used to be nothing more than a courtesy, while the main event was always men’s sports. Title IX changed all that, as did the unbelievable performance of an undefeated South Carolina that beat Iowa with superstar Caitlin Clark. Are we witnessing the high water mark for women’s athletics?  Dawn Staley, South Carolina Coach, threw down the gauntlet, commenting, “I’m on the opinion of, if you’re a woman, you should play. If you consider yourself a ..read more

Today we’ll delve into how as a people, we once aspired to belong to a single tribe—American—amidst the backdrop of the recent Iranian attack on Israel. I’m not mentioning Native Americans, former slaves, etc., who, together, were not the main bulk of Americans that admittedly came from all over, but primarily from Europe. It is impossible to ignore that European immigrants had a different, more positive effect on the development of classic Americana than other groups. Those groups contributed, but America largely rejected tribalism, class, limits on personal success, and feudalism of all kind ..read more

The America that I knew regularly performed miracles. We put men on the moon, dug the Panama Canal, invented the atomic bomb, and created the transistor. There was no limit to what we could do. Nothing seemed impossible. Fifty years ago, the seeds of our destruction were planted with the beginning of the social justice movement, the anti-war movement, identity politics, and alternatives promoted as equal to or superior to intact nuclear families. ‘Do your thing’ not what society needs. A new version of Communism stormed our shores, led by teachers’ unions, free love, and blaming whites for eve ..read more

Something else the Progressives are doing to undermine our country is to blur the line between what it means to be a citizen vs. an illegal alien. Already, we have illegal aliens voting in several different cities and states, registering to vote as if they are U.S. citizens. Recently, an illegal claimed Second Amendment rights to possess (purchase or stolen) firearms. And, wait for it; the Judge in Illinois said he had that right.   Federal Law – Legal Loophole:- . Federal law does not prohibit noncitizens, including those who are undocumented and not authorized to legally live or work in ..read more

You only get a certain number of swings when you are at bat. The Republican Party is at bat and badly missing the ball. That’s according to millions of people who just see the Party stepping in it most of the time. It is not enough to try and do the right thing; you must be perceived as successful, or your supporters lose confidence. We are at that point today. History is a cruel mistress. Your successes last milliseconds, while your biggest mistakes wind up defining you. Republicans in the U.S. House created a circular firing squad over the issues of funding Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the b ..read more

Just something else Democrats and Republicans are diametrically apart on is the value of the UN to America. With China and Russia having veto power within the UN’s Security Council, we are subject to the tender mercies of countries that will stop at nothing to harm American interests every chance they get. You would be hard-pressed to find unanimity on any issue that benefits our country at the UN. China and Russia have blocked Western interests at every turn for the last forty years. Having hobbled us at the UN, China, and Russia unveiled their next political weapon to isolate us…BRICS. Russi ..read more

Let’s discuss today how a corrupt State spreads lies and deceptions. It’s not a matter of differences of opinion between otherwise men of good will either, let there be no doubt. No, it’s about how some willingly, knowledgeably, and purposefully choose their attachment to power over what is right and best for our people and country. It is a betrayal on a monstrous scale, and good people and cultures perish along with their ideals and aspirations through such evil. According to the New Testament, thirty pieces of silver were the price for which Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus. Antony Blinken ..read more

The government heavily regulates aviation. We used to understand that every piece of knowledge gained was written in blood after something went wrong. We are losing that understanding. See if you agree with me as you read along. Dateline—on January 5th, 2024, an Alaskan Airlines Boeing 737-9 had an explosive decompression when a door plug panel blew out shortly after take off. Dateline—on January 2nd, 2024, a Japan Airlines Airbus A350 collided with another plane in a runway incursion accident. Dateline—In 2019, there were two Boeing Max crashes; the first was Lion Air in Jakarta, In ..read more

It seems each day, there is yet another something that makes me shake my head in disbelief, outrage, or fear that we’ve crossed some line from which there is no return. Do you also have that feeling? If so, this article is for you. Instead of being filled with many ‘hard facts,’ this article takes a nuanced view of anecdotal beliefs and observations. Let’s try to find, if not closure, at least some internal peace! People I speak with and who write to me have at least five major concerns that keep them angry, scared, or confused.  Those are: The Border Situation:- . The border situati ..read more

140 Nigerian Christians were killed around Christmas by Muslims carrying out the commandments of Allah as required by the Quran. In this ABC story, the fact that they were Christians was not mentioned until the sixth paragraph. Being an American should mean I have the right to say things that are not popular yet that I believe to be true. But that right of free speech is in trouble, especially for Conservatives like myself. In a lifetime of traveling the world, I have had people threaten my personal safety. I’ve been disinvited to speak to groups and sometimes canceled by fellow Conservat ..read more
