Despite the title of this possibly short blog, it’s refreshing to know that Trump, in a way, keeps letting us down day by day. The “State Fair” that he touted has been a total failure. Only if Biden (or Obama) were still president might it have gone the same way, to be fair. The heat is the issue, but the “Freedom 250” org had some glaring missteps that, well, should have been accounted for. Such as overpriced food and water, the inability to bring a simple cooler (which isn’

So prior to the Iran business, and after the October 7, 2023 attack, I largely supported Israel. I thought that they were overall a great nation, and in 2011, I managed to visit Jerusalem and found it mesmerizing and such. I pretty much sided with them on the Holocaust, which is a poignant memory of what not to do to people you disagree with. But things are changing as the war for Iran and Lebanon continue and cannot support a country that is pretty much committing genocide,

So it’s Father’s Day, and this one probably will be the shortest blog entry so far for the holiday. My Dad died in late 2024, and while I did grieve finally (oddly enough, it happened during the swearing in of you know who), I had a double whammy of pain and suffering. After that? I don’t think or miss my Dad that much. He was a shit father at times, and frankly didn’t have an aura to really share things, because if you told him something, you’d get a fucking lecture about it

It’s high time I address people who routinely visit (mainly my Facebook page). I don’t like Trump, and I don’t like what direction this country is going. As a writer, it’s known that some authors don’t mix politics with their writing. And that’s fine, we all have our beliefs, whether you follow politics or not. Pretty much, Trump’s economic moves have largely affected everybody, even the world. With the tariffs that only affect the issuing country, one would think that he wou

So it’s Pride again, and naturally the bigots want to come out and trash it because they fear that somehow or some other, heterosexuality will become “illegal”, and so on. I don’t know why people are so afraid of homosexuality, lesbianism, gay men, bisexual people, or even trans people. It’s become just so annoying and stupid (there’s a word for that level, but I’ll refrain from it, because I was in a generation where it was acceptable to say it, but not now) that I think tha

So today I am 50 years old. I don’t know if I felt like I would make it this far, but I did. My life has been a reflection of my weirdness and how I evolved into the person I am today. It started in Denver, Colorado, in the morning, if I remember, and I was born. A Bicentennial baby more or less in the scheme of things, and the celebrations that happened that I was unaware of back then, and so now as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the nation being created, I didn’t par

As the country moves toward Friday, where hopefully a peace deal can be brokered, I started to wonder just what we achieved, in retrospect to Obama’s deal before. The fact of the matter is that we didn’t win this “war”, “special military operation”, or “excursion” that was basically a conflict. While the thought of giving 300 billion to Iran is being debated, I’m quite sure we will, and they’ll make us even weaker. We didn’t win anything, and 14 servicemembers died in a confl

It’s been a real gripe of mine as a Soldier and a gamer, on the state of gaming and the attitude it engenders today. It’s seemingly like everybody is an “expert” at something, because, well, they have the information at hand. But I see a lot of gamers nowadays not listening to the experts who actually worked with the material, gun, jet, whatever is modeled, and that they “know what is going on”, even though they don’t really fly the jet that is modeled, especially in DCS Worl

On April 24, 2013, I was a veteran. I served 12 years on Active Duty and 3 years in the Army National Guard. My time in the Army was sometimes troubled, and my leadership abilities when I first hit Sergeant were abysmal. I was just a Sergeant, not a leader of Soldiers. I only mention this because a failure at the Drill Sergeant School really changed my outlook on leadership. I started leading, caring, doing, and executing as the Lord intended. So when I left mentally broken t

My books and you are something I respect and adore for those who have read them. I think overall in the scheme of things, that I’m supposed to write “typical” tropes, like Marines and stuff, like that. And aliens, gotta look at aliens and stuff. But so far, I am working on a plot involving a first-contact scenario, and I just have to sort of explain myself. I don’t know if I write badly, or whatnot, but I think what I write is what keeps sales down. I don’t need to write conv

Obama, Biden. It’s become a keyword for the Trump Administration that somehow Biden (or Obama, take your pick), is somehow responsible for Trump’s failures. And it’s clearly resonating with the public, with this push to blame the predecessor for things happening during this current administration. Everywhere you go, somehow Biden did that, like the Iran war. Somehow Biden started it, and it begs the question, how delusional do you have to be to believe that, even if you’re th
