D-Day

D-Day

by | Jun 3, 2026 | , ,

It’s almost June 6th, the anniversary of D-Day. For the last several years on this morning I’ve watched at least the first thirty minutes of the incredible movie, Saving Private Ryan, as my sincere but insufficient act of remembrance. My parents were married in Baltimore on June 3, 1944, and they tell the story of waking up while on their honeymoon three days later at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York as church bells pealed across the entire city early that morning, and people flooded into...

Three Short Observations

Three Short Observations

by | May 22, 2026 | , , ,

There are many difficult, weighty issues confronting us this Memorial Day Weekend in 2026, but I’m going to begin the summer with three unconnected, much lighter personal observations which won’t take long and which probably won’t mean much to anyone else…but here they are: 1. Take a look at this cover photo from the Atlanta Business Chronicle of May 15th. It highlights an entire section on their “40 Under 40” Risings Stars in our city. The newspaper “recognizes rising stars who have made...

How Claude AI Compares Progressive Conformity to Faith-Based Western Beliefs

How Claude AI Compares Progressive Conformity to Faith-Based Western Beliefs

by | Apr 23, 2026 | , , , ,

I'm sure that many of you are deep into using AI to assist in both work and leisure tasks. Others may not yet have ventured into these waters at all. Either way, I hope you will read through this post, to see Claude AI's comprehensive answers two of my prompts on how Progressive thought differs from and clearly tries to subvert the foundations of Western Liberal Democracy and Christian faith. But first, by a total coincidence, don't miss a brilliant summary on the same topic written by Justice...

My Attitude Isn’t Helping Anyone

My Attitude Isn’t Helping Anyone

by | Mar 24, 2026 | , ,

I don’t know about you, but I badly need an Attitude Adjustment. Everything just seems to be screwed up, from the state of the World in general, to the deep divisions within our country, to I can’t clean my car's windshield at our Shell station anymore because someone always steals their bucket and squeegee, so they don’t even put them out. My old friends are turning out to be just that, and they’re getting sick and even dying. Incompetence and inattention to detail appear to be the new norms...

Trumped at the Midterms?

Trumped at the Midterms?

by | Feb 15, 2026 | , ,

I’m generally a conservative-libertarian person of faith. On most issues you’ll find me in the middle of a square roughly defined by Ronald Reagan, Thomas Sowell, Charlie Kirk and Michael Youssef. I was so energized after the 2024 election, as were most friends and businesspeople I know. We had dodged the awful prospect of four more years of absurd policies: flooding our nation with millions of people from who-knows-where, with unknown intent, at a large cost to our security, our schools, and...

Will We Learn This Time?

Will We Learn This Time?

by | Jan 31, 2026 | , ,

The death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis should rightly concern everyone and invite transparent investigation. Early this week the truth appeared to be coming out, as one would hope, and so far it has certainly not been on the side of the Ice Agents or the early explanations by Federal authorities, who should know better than to reach conclusions without any actual evidence. See this detailed WSJ piece online. From watching the video and the early analysis, it appears to be either a terrible...

Trump Wins Big by Pushing Dollar Surplus on Foreigners

Trump Wins Big by Pushing Dollar Surplus on Foreigners

by | Dec 18, 2025 | ,

In a stunning policy reversal which President Trump says he was planning all along, the U.S. has eliminated all tariffs and will encourage cheaper imported goods because Trump says he has forced foreigners to give us real things—cars, computers, steel and coffee—in exchange for almost worthless things—pieces of paper and electrons. “It’s magnificent,” he posted. “I’ve got them to sell us more stuff than they buy from us, and so we get real, useful things from them, and they get stuck with all...

Thanksgiving For Christmas

Thanksgiving For Christmas

by | Nov 26, 2025 | , , , ,

As Thanksgiving and Christmas approach I know it’s easy to be pulled into all the planning details and to wind up dreading the month, just the opposite of what God intends. So this year I’m going to actively focus on three aspects of these special days which are not always on the table with the turkey, mashed potatoes, and pies. The first is Gratitude.  I don’t see it much. Rather than regularly recounting our innumerable blessings, many of us appear to be worried, slightly angry, or downright...

Five Fabulous Fixes for President Trump

Five Fabulous Fixes for President Trump

by | Oct 26, 2025 | ,

Whatever you think of President Trump’s accomplishments in the first nine months of his second term, you have to agree that they are significant, and that he can be a strong force for change. But he will soon be a lame duck, unable to run again. And he will then be on the path to Elder Statesman status, while others maneuver either to extend or to undo his legacy. I’d therefore like to give President Trump a personal challenge. Mr. President, Please shift your focus from righting recent...

The Spiritual Battle

The Spiritual Battle

by | Sep 27, 2025 | , , ,

September 10th has now taken its place with September 11th and December 7th as dates we will always remember, because on those dates our nation was attacked and then tested. The cowardly assassination of Charlie Kirk is, I believe, a watershed moment. I was praying about what to say or to write when no words seemed adequate. Then, as sometimes happens, a regular reader wrote a note to me and said, “I think what we are seeing is bigger than Trump or MAGA or Democrat vs Republican. It’s bigger...
