Patriotism & Patriots — Patriotism is more than symbolism; it is a commitment to the principles, history, and responsibilities that define a nation. These articles reflect on what it means to value, defend, and preserve the American experiment in liberty.

  • Authoritarian(ism)

    In this article I decided to identify “authoritarians” for all my political related articles going forward. Why? Because there are two basic forces at play today in America, and on the broader global stage, politically speaking. It is a struggle to decide if mankind can live according to God’s will (i.e. rights, freedoms, and liberties)…

  • SitRep – 1/18/2022

    There are so many things going on in the world today…and it is planned, albeit not all coordinated. The design of the chaos in the world today is simple and straight forward; create enough chaos, create fear/panic, and then offer the solution. And their solution is not good…not good at all. I urge you to…

  • The “Pledge of Allegiance”

    I was originally going to write an article about our losing the war in Afghanistan, but after exchanging some emails with a few folks in regards to losing that war I changed my mind. However, I do reserve the right to write that Afghanistan War article at a later date. Which obviously means that I…

  • EXTREME DANGER !

    Three of the most significant indicators/signs of an authoritarian/totalitarian regime is the controlling of media, promoting government propaganda, and suppressing voices of opposition. A person only needs look to countries such as the former Soviet Union, current Russia, China, and North Korea to see the most fully implemented examples of such behavior. And the European…

  • 4th of July – Independence Day 2021

    note: While this article has been posted in previous years, I am posting it again this year because it applies…maybe even more so. And yes, I tried to do some more editing to make it read easier and flow better…and apply even more to our current 2021 situation in America. 2021 note: I would like…

  • SitRep – 5/3/2021 (part #5)

    This post is Part #5 of a multi-part SitRep. The original SitRep (part #1) appeared on Monday, and additional parts since then. For this post to make any sense I would strongly encourage you to read Parts #1 – #4 in order. <Click here to read Part #1> <Click here to read Part #2> <Click…

  • SitRep – 5/3/2021 (Part #1)

    This is not an article that some, maybe many, of you are going to like…maybe not even believe, nor possibly not embrace. But it is an honest opinion of mine based on available information, current events, 66 years of experience of life, and a very long career in emergency services and emergency preparedness. So, read…

  • 4th of July – Independence Day

    note: I originally posted this last year on 7/4 but I thought it would be appropriate to post it again for this year. And yes, I have done some editing for this year. Independence Day (a.k.a. 4th of July) commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. July 4th is the…

  • In my opinion…and I ask you to…

    note: It took me ten days to write and edit this article to make it read close to what I have in my head and in my heart. I asked my wife to read the article last night for editing and content. She complimented me on the content and gave no suggestions on changes. She…

  • Something to think about…I ask you

    What a very strange day yesterday…that spilled into this morning. Actually, it started a week ago when I started working on a new SitRep…and then the whole George Floyd thing erupted. Then came my “Something to think about…” post which drew some serious flak from a couple of readers. Then my follow-up which agitated a…
