Honor, Courage, and Commitment
Each branch of the military services has its own stated Core Values that each member of that branch is expected to uphold and is held accountable when not upholding them. When I served in the Navy, its Core Values were … Continue reading →

Shackled To History
Back in the wonderful Nineties (Nirvana, 2Pac, The Matrix, Fight Club, etc…), I took a break from my normal Navy telecommunications gig to spend a few years in a special assignment as an Equal Opportunity Advisor. To become qualified as an EOA, I had to attend three months of very intense and in-depth training at … Continue reading Shackled To History
One Russian Stooge Down…
An entire Trump Administration to go. Let’s all assume that the reason he “resigned” is so bad that it was even able to penetrate Trump’s thick autocratic skull. BTW, Flynn, whose firing of his son preceded his, now has the honor of being fired by two successive administrations.

Rockin’ with The Donald in the Nothing’s for Free World
According to this Rolling Stones article, this is his favorite song: Ah, I’m just kidding. Actually, the article speculates that he is pretty much your typical orange white rich dude who listens to mostly Classic Rock.

J. K. Rowling is a Bad@$$ Evil Trump-and-his-Trolls Fighting Superhero
I’ve never read any of the Harry Potter books but I am now Rowling’s newest biggest fan as I watch in awe and admiration as she completely dominates Evil Trump and his Evil Trolls right on their home turf. This is the video clip she refers to in the tweet: Witness her twitter destruction for … Continue reading J. K. Rowling is a Bad@$$ Evil Trump-and-his-Trolls Fighting Superhero[image error]

The Purpose of Pain
When it comes to physical pain, it’s purpose is hardly in question: It focuses us to where our immediate attention and action is required. We accidentally rest our hand on a hot, stove top burner and, without our sense of pain, our hand, if it weren’t for our sense of smell, would become cooked … Continue reading The Purpose of Pain
