In the 21st century it is hard to imagine a civilized country openly invading a neighboring democratic country with no provocation. We are seeing it happen with Russia invading Ukraine on numerous...

Growing up on a 32 -cow dairy farm in Wisconsin, one of 10 children, working hard was a given. We all pitched in. We all did our part. I could not have been blessed with greater parents. There never...

"Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country". In 1961 my typing class teacher, Mr. Walks, had us type that sentence over and over on our new Royal manual typewriters. The...

President Biden has declared that the world has witnessed the greatest airlift in American history as 120,000 people were flown out of Afghanastan in the last days of August 2021. The mainstream...

As the leader of the free world, I marvel that he was elected. I firmly believe that many who voted for him, simply hated "The Orange Man", Donald Trump, so much that somehow, Joe was elected. I have...

I’ve had the privilege of being born and raised in the greatest country in the world. A country where, if you dream it, you can achieve it! I’m blessed many times over thanks to a capitalistic...

I’m frustrated. My frustration has been deepening for at least a year. No, I’m not becoming jaded, I am becoming disheartened. The tragedy of George Floyd created the death of a city, namely,...

I truly want to give President Biden the benefit of the doubt. Sadly, from where I sit, watching over 40 Executive Orders, the benefit of the doubt is slipping. Among the very first he signed closed...

Having had the honor and privilege of serving thirty years in law enforcement, I have often reflected on the amazing changes that occurred throughout that time. Changes not only in the law enforcement...

Are we not the land of the free and the home of the brave? Since May 25, 2020, the day George Floyd, a hand cuffed, totally compliant black man was murdered by Minneapolis Police Officer Derrick...

I truly marvel at the continuing and “stepped up” efforts of the far left to do all they can to destroy not only the Presidency of Donald Trump, but to destroy him personally as well. It...

When we first started hearing about the Wuhan Virus, which has transitioned to Covid 19, projected deaths were over 2.5 million. These projections were based on models which, since early March, have...

In my last column I shared some frustration with Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre of the NRA. I accept the public criticism of retired Lt. Col. and second vice president of the NRA Willes Lee...
