The one and only true Ambassador of Golf, Arnold Palmer passed away this evening at the age of 87. Arnie's Army was said to put $2 of every $3 into every pro golfers pocket and was known and loved the world over. RIP Arnie .... your infectious sm...
While I have done this many times in the past, I spent yesterday reviewing our Bill of Rights, which are amendments to the United States Constitution. I was motivated by the breakfast boys that love to have a spirited debate on just about any and al...
I don’t know about you, but I personally am more than a little fed up with the constant claims of “transparency” by both our major presidential candidates and seeing none of it. It is not and has never been a secret that the voters expect each and e...
For the past few generations it is probably just a date, 9-11, but for those that are over 30 it has quite a bit more significance. For those old enough we were bombarded with replay after replay of the first smoking tower, then the second plane str...
In this day and age, with so many different people from all walks of life, different levels of education and practical knowledge, and of course, individual taste, opinion, etc, etc one must certainly ask if there is any such thing as informed disagre...
To date the president has commuted the sentences of 562 federal prisoners and has stated that he’s not finished yet. While this has been alarming to many readers, there is a certain merit in his actions. Noteworthy is the fact that he has commuted...

A recent article I found on techspot.com spoke of the advancements of AI in our everyday life and how impressive the developments are. I am usually in agreement, but this article spoke of a new development where the AI can be used to create appropri...
Got this one from a buddy of mine and could not resist sharing it! I GOT MY CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT YESTERDAY MORNING. In the afternoon, I went over to the local Bass Pro Shop to get a 9mm handgun for home/personal protectio...
It's nothing new and has been around for years, but it always makes me laugh, especially when I interview some younger people that talk about how they always give 110% all the time. This is a strictly ..... mathematical viewpoint... and it goes li...
It may finally be upon us. A topic so great that affects so many, that our nation as a nation is prepared to have a conversation about the problem that is causing so much loss of life it cannot be tolerated any longer. The conversation is much bigg...
If there was any doubt we live in troubling times, this weekends events in Florida should certainly clear away all doubts. Senseless killing has never had a justification and the slaughtering of innocent, unarmed people simply must stop. The questi...
At the request of so many, I am reposting this message from years gone by. It has great meaning to me because I once received a tribute from a tontine, made long ago among my infantry class. I had noticed the passage of a number of them. Some in c...
End of an Era Susannah Mushatt Jones was born in July of 1899 and had the distinction of being the oldest living person. She passed away today at the age of 116 years old. Technically, she lived in three different centuries, through two world wa...
Once again the subject of corporations that take their businesses off shore, abandoning their workers for the sake of profits has come the forefront. The Carrier corporation is about the exit Indianapolis and move to Mexico, leaving thousands of lon...
As a child I vividly remember some of the rules my father hand for me as a grew up as well as the punishments I would receive for breaking those rules. Such an impression this made on me that it has shaped my life, my opinions, and how I treat other...
What is the value of having ones picture on a piece of US currency and should we be concerned that we are now posting a non-president on our twenty dollar bill (or at least should be in about 10 years)? It’s certainly not a precedent since Susan B....
Unknown to a majority of Americans was the withholding of 20+ pages of the report by the 9/11 commission that detailed the involvement of a number of prominent and wealthy Saudi families and government officials in the financial aid of the terrorists...
