Will They Ever Learn? – The Hugh Hewitt Show
Yesterday we talked about failure as a teacher. In that post we linked to a study on how grade inflation is actually harming the life-time earning of students. This picture gets darker, however. San Francisco has, for the last twelve years,…
Failure Is The Best Teacher
As I recover from my second total knee replacement surgery in 7 months, I have lots of time on my hands. Pain brings with it reflections of past pains – the time I fell off a roof and broke a foot – that time I took a hockey puck in the face –…
Religion, Politics and God’s Mysterious Ways
We are currently undoing a mess in Iran – a mess that started during, and in no small part was created by, the Carter Administration. Back in 2016, John Bolton wrote a piece for AEI examining just how bad it was. Bolton was putting Obama and…
Service and Sacrifice – The Hugh Hewitt Show

Investing In The Future – The Hugh Hewitt Show
I am more or less retired. My investments are therefore meant to take care of me, not grow for my future. But it took a lot of years to get here and during those years I was truly investing in the future – like most everyone else in the world.…
Our National Weakness?!
In the spin up to this current conflict, the host asked many guests what casualty/fatality count they thought the nation could bear. I hated the question, but understood its political wisdom. The question is a concession to this nation’s…
It’s Our War
Last Monday I asked “Whose War Is It?” deriding the use of the term “Trump’s War” that I had seen so frequently in the first days of conflict. I haven’t seen that term much since I wrote that piece, but then…
