I've been on a tear the last few weeks watching video after video of Charlie Kirk speeches and debates. Yesterday I saw the talk he had with California governor Gavin Newsom, and the more I listen to him,

I've been reading a lot lately about the life of Charlie Kirk. Of course I'd heard of the name, but the narrative was that this was yet another Richard Spencer, Nick Fuentes-type rabble-rouser out to "own

The closest I've ever come to experiencing a cult happened years ago when I joined an organization. It was a political entity that had a long pedigree in this area, and I wanted to help restore its strength,

I was taking my regular digital stroll through interesting posts on Hive when I noticed some things that stood out. In photo after photo from authors who live in Europe and beyond, the streets were largely

The AI flu is everywhere, with seemingly no end in sight. They're so obvious too, so how would I describe them? They read with a clinical and antiseptic voice, if you can call it that. It feels like viewing

I've worked in a number of retail stores, and the amount of "shrinkage" (retail theft), is increasing by the year. As both an hourly worker and a manager, I've had the heartbreaking experience

The accident in the skies over Washington D.C. which took the lives of so many hopeful people, can cause a person to take stock of one's own. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed to any of us, no not one. We're all

I'm pleasantly surprised to see interest in some of the posts I wrote days (or even weeks) ago, including the one titled: Managing Expectations in Football and in Life. I usually prefer to write what I

I did it. Today I earn my last weekly powerup for the month and my monthly powerup from Hivebuzz. I've also published a post every day of this month for the first time since I joined what is now Hive back

With the announcement from President Trump setting the stage for the release of the JFK, MLK, and RFK assassination files, I have some thoughts on this seminal event. The release of these files has been

As the violence continues here unabated, I've come to the long put-off realization that for safety's sake, it may be time to get serious about leaving. It's not just our town, but almost all of the localities

Progress can occur in either a huge lurching jump or incremental steps at a time. The best in my opinion, is the steady drumbeat that happens when you advance step by step and day after day. That's what

I enjoyed the 55-23 win (and the huge run-up in the score) that the Eagles completed over the very entertaining Washington Commanders on Sunday. We now advance to face the

My Philadelphia Eagles play the Washington Commanders today in a game that decides which team will move on to the Super Bowl. As a long-suffering Philly fan, I've always kept my expectations in check,

As a voracious reader and chronicler of my fellow humans and what makes them tick, I've picked up some "rules of the road" to live by. Maybe God has given me the gift of discernment (or maybe

It's about that time kiddos, where after the recent run-up in the price of the HIVE token, that it begins to slowly settle down after the pump. You know those people who always materialize out of nowhere

That old phrase "what you don't know CAN hurt you" couldn't be truer in this day and age. With the advent of the internet in the 90s, what I call 'The World's Biggest Library' opened its doors

Recently, I ran across some Actifit posts when I was looking for something to comment on. I'm glad they're still around because they reminded me of when I'd craft the odd post around that subject when
