The NFL has made a business decision to alienate a large number of it’s customers. These leaders in the sports entertainment business have suddenly decided that instead of being entertainers they want to be social commentators.…
In all of the discussion over the crisis in Puerto Rico due to the two storms, the financial position of Puerto Rico is raised as part of the problem. The strong intimation from the media is that we need to bail them out. I figure it’s time to remind everyone of how they got in the mess they are in!…
I found the Abbeville Institute some years ago. It’s one of the best “intellectual” sites out there on culture and history of the South. …
Ok, I get it. Folks have political views. Most people keep their political views out of the workplace, and these days even away from family gatherings. It seems pretty stupid though to claim that things aren’t political when they so clearly are. …
Military bridge making is a lost skill, so it’s interesting to see how a mere “bridge” has such an impact. During the Cold War, the US Army had a lot of awesome bridge making and maintaining units and equipment. …

Bannon nails what’s at stake here, and there are some really good lessons for all of us who despise the deep state. The biggest lesson dispels the notion that we can’t overcome the big money that the deep state has. Strange and the deep state spent over $30 million dollars. Judge Moore has spent less than half a million dollars with most of it being $10-$20 contributions from folks like us.…
