During the past few years, I have done several radio interviews on the topic of writing fiction and writing in general. I am posting those interviews as a three-part series for the next couple of days. I hope you find these posts interesting and, most of all, helpful. Here is …
Here we go again. Another attempt to assassinate Donald Trump. I wonder what it will take before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris stop calling the former president a “threat to democracy” and a potential “dictator?” Will they and their sycophants in the corrupt state-run media cease with their endless lies …
During her debate with Donald Trump, Kamala Harris insisted that the Biden administration had done an excellent job supporting and managing America’s military. The facts say otherwise.

She wants to give first-time homebuyers $25,000 to afford a starter home and give families earning $50,000 or less a $6,000 income tax credit for each minor child. She wants to …
The 2024 Paris Olympic Games are over, and now that I have had a moment to evaluate them, I figure it’s time to share a few thoughts. Yes, America amassed 126 medals, 40 of which were gold. I am proud of those athletes. They performed at the highest levels. Good …
