Our credit card economy; Why tax people if we can just print more money?
The amount of money Biden is borrowing to give the appearance of economic growth, is greater than the value of all the steel, all the automobiles, and all the other doohickeys Americans make.
As the song Low Sparks of High-Heeled Boys says:
The percentage you’re paying is too high priced
While you’re living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he’s made on your dreams
And so it goes with the American economy.

Real Men: Leaders of Integrity and Compassion
In a world often fixated on traditional notions of masculinity, the true essence of manhood lies not in brute strength or dominance, but in embodying virtues that inspire and uplift others.
In a world often fixated on traditional notions of masculinity, the true essence of manhood lies not in brute strength or dominance, but in embodying virtues that inspire and uplift others. Micah 6:8 encapsulates this sentiment perfectly: "Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly."

Barb Dwyer: Transforming Army Culture: The Evolution from "Meat Eaters" to Inclusive Leadership
The decision to remove branch insignia from Army Combat Uniforms (ACUs) in 2005 marked a significant milestone in the ongoing evolution of Army culture.
The decision to remove branch insignia from Army Combat Uniforms (ACUs) in 2005 marked a significant milestone in the ongoing evolution of Army culture. At the time, combat arms officers were often stereotyped as "meat eaters," embodying toughness, aggression, and combat prowess. In contrast, combat support officers were sometimes viewed as "vegetarians," perceived as less esteemed and inferior within the military hierarchy. “They didn’t have a front row seat at the Officers club,” is how one officer described it.
This dysfunctional culture, rooted in outdated stereotypes and perceptions, created divisions and hindered the cohesion and effectiveness of the Army as a whole. The removal of branch insignia from ACUs represented an early attempt to challenge and transform this entrenched mindset, signaling a shift towards a more inclusive and equitable leadership culture. DEI before the military had a fancy acronym for it…READ MORE…
