Years back when I was in the Army, a grizzled NCO pulled me aside one day and explained something to me. Now, if you’ve ever watched an old Clint Eastwood war movie, or one of the many like it, you’ve heard this story before, so I’m not telling you something you probably already shouldn’t know. But I’m going to tell … Read More
If You Want to Make America Great Again, Have Media Outlets Stop Using Tweets As Actual Stories
I don’t even think people realize the problem that exists today with media. It’s not that media is wrong, false or lying. It’s that it’s lazy. And yeah, I know a big reason behind it is the consolidation of media outlets to get rid of people and save money. So, the problem has emerged to the next logical step: Find … Read More
Kavanaugh, Boys Will Be Boys, and Why This Problem Will Never Go Away
I was watching Vice News Tonight, and they were covering some of the Kavanaugh garbage that we’re seeing on a daily basis right now, and it just sickens me that we have a bunch of men in charge of our government who apparently don’t care one iota that they’re about to empower (with enormous power and responsibility) someone who may … Read More
The Problems of a Young People’s Movement
Recently, there’s been a lot of attention being paid to a group of high school students who were survivors of a horrific gun attack in Florida. While they’re not the first students to suffer from such a crappy situation, what made this tragedy even more significant was that the students didn’t remain the backdrop of the event but have now … Read More
The Hidden Ramifications of the #metoo Movement and the “Funnel of Male Response”
Yesterday, Rob Porter, a top White House aid, resigned from his position due to allegations that he abused his former wives.

Remaining Unknown in a Viral World: Popularity, ASMR and Celebrity Status
Earlier today, I was examining the statistics on my website and realized that I have about 1.5 million hits on my site since I started it. That appears to be a lot, but then I started to think to myself that not a lot of people comment on it or send me messages based off of my web site (or … Read More
The Gender Problem: Being a Beta Male Has Always Been Seen As Bad
There’s a current dilemma going on right now that seems to have origins dating way back in time, but for bizarre reasons, people are convinced the problem has only recently emerged. The problem stems from revelations that Harvey Weinstein ruled his Hollywood perch by forcing women into sexual relations with him without women’s consent. It comes from our current president … Read More
“The First One Is Free” and “Foot in the Door” as gimmicks don’t work with television shows
A new trend has started with networks and their television shows. Instead of trying to hook you with their television shows by airing them and then creating buzz (or creating buzz first and then airing them), they’re trying a new process of trying to hook people by presenting one episode in one location and then hoping that will lead to … Read More
So, Hillary thinks that if the election was held today, she might win. She’s wrong.
It was reported today on CNN‘s site that Hillary Clinton believes that if the presidential election was held today, she might win. I have bad news for her. She’s wrong. And it’s not because I don’t like Hillary Clinton, which is usually where these kinds of stories and posts go. It’s because of something much deeper that for reasons that … Read More
What’s most annoying about the Equifax Data Breach
By now (September 8, 2017), most people have heard that there was a data breach at Equifax that has made over 143 million Americans vulnerable (about half of the entire country). Read more about it here. Equifax hasn’t done itself any favors since the breach. First, it waited a month to let anyone know that their security was compromised. Second, … Read More
