  • On the Moraine, Part XXVIII

    One day in November, John and I were both home sick with colds. We were listening to “Everybody’s Farm” on WLW radio. NBC broke into the program to tell us President Kennedy had been shot. It was Nov. 23, 1963. We spent the rest of the day listening to the radio.
  • Charlotte murder exposes Democrat failures after career criminal freed by woke policies

  • Prayer works, according to science
    The role of prayer in civil society has emerged in the wake of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting, and this may be a blessing of sorts amid the tragedy.

  • Confronting the electricity price shock
    The most disturbing thing about the nationwide rise in electricity prices is that the average consumer is footing the bill for the biggest power users – huge data centers for artificial intelligence. Electricity prices could jump 15% to 40% in just the next 5 years, according to a recent forecast. And prices have already begun to jump.

    Jim McCaffrey, a retired New York firefighter who lost his brother-in-law on 9/11, asked the New York Post, “How can you justify these salaries? It’s just another slap in the face of the families, more pain and grief to add to the heartache.”
  • 1918 redux?
    Despite the differences in politics and technology, the current war is clearly one of attrition; just like World War One. Two historical touchpoints stand out: the Russian approach to warfare, and the experience of the Western Front in the final year of World War One.

  • Parenting takes time and patience – lots of patience
    Sweet lovable babies will grow quickly into messy toddlers, who will become energetic kids, then mouthy teens, and finally independent young adults. But it does take time and patience. Lots of patience.

  • Politics over people: Chicago’s 'leaders' are failing their city

  • Greek tragedy has never been the story of good triumphing over evil
    The plays of Athens often ended with frozen conflict rather than resolution. The gods would step in, or some new institution would be invented to keep the cycle of vengeance from consuming the city. That is the best that can be hoped for in Ukraine today.
