Purple Houses and Alligator Ponds

My wife and I have been members of The River Club, formerly The Plantation Country Club, for 32 years. Twelve years ago, our dream of owning a home in The Plantation subdivision came true. We moved into our home on the 12th fairway of the golf course at the end of the Fair Oaks cul-de-sac, […]

Who is on the Bag?

An incredible story came out of my hometown of Columbus Ohio this morning. One of the great “non-major” golf tournaments played on one of the greatest golf courses in the world—Muirfield Village was the scene where Victor Hovland won the tournament on the 73rd hole (overtime). His paycheck was $3.6 million. I have had the […]

Just some Thoughts on Politics and Voter Apathy

It is interesting that we are hearing more from Christians that the end of the world is near. Or they are saying we must be near the End of Days as described in Revelations. I don’t pretend to be a prophet but I personally, don’t believe that either is imminent. The problems we are dealing […]

There is no victory in debt ceiling deal

The United States is grappling with a severe spending addiction that shows no signs of abating. Year after year, our government fails to implement responsible budgetary measures, instead opting to borrow more money to fund its excessive expenditures.

The Truth About the Debt Ceiling

Earlier today, I received a message for me to sign a petition to Congressman Fulcher urging him not to vote for the Debt Ceiling, but instead “to push for a real deal.” I respect Mr. Fulcher, and I also signed the petition. Still, much about the Debt Ceiling is not understood or reported. To begin […]

The Power is in the People

It is time for everyone to stand up against the corporate world and take steps to hit back at the underlying goal of transforming our economy, and in doing so, it can be crippled, or at least dented. Putting a permanent kink in their chain may not happen, but it will hurt. As seen with […]

The Projection of Power and Information

One of the things I learned early in the military was that decision makers—Generals and Admirals, are only as good as the information they use as a predicate for their actions and decisions. The good ones understand the “power of information”, but most importantly the power of information in controlling a narrative. The bad ones—and […]

The Codes of our Lives

I want to write something a little different this week and I hope it is uplifting and maybe even inspirational. When we listen and watch the news or even look at what is happening in our own neighborhoods, particularly in the realm of government, it is easy to get discouraged. We are fighting an out-of-state […]

Rebirth of the Silent Majority?

May God Bless America Is it possible that America is seeing the rebirth of the silent majority? Well, it would seem so after the public’s reaction to Budweiser’s latest commercial promoting Bud Light with a transgender spokesperson. Not to be outdone, Target has also seen the plush back in their stores that were featuring transgender […]

Have You Seen This?

If not, it has probably seen you. Home Depot (HD) is a global home improvement retail corporation that was founded in 1978, having revenues in the billions. As one of the box stores allowed to stay open during the Covid event, its earnings “rose 27%” during that time. The company also owns several subsidiaries.  This […]
