AMERICAN PROCESS = THE GRIND

October 9, 2024 by

American process is what we’re famous for around here. The U.S. didn’t become what it is today by scrapping everything and starting over, although some argue that that’s what FDR did in the Great Depression. Not my argument. Why?

May 4, 2023 by

For starters, understanding sports, if you don’t already, and you’re past fifty years old, where have you been? But it does happen.

UNDERSTANDING MILITARY TRAINING FOR A BETTER ATTITUDE

December 8, 2021 by
