R. Rosicky’s in the USA! By Kevin J. Curtis Rock Rosicky was tough as nails. He had disappeared in enemy territory during his third tour of duty in one of the most dangerous places on Earth. There was little hope of his return now—some 14 days after he missed his extraction date. Losing an operative such as Rock was not unheard of, but it was also not something that Major Schlitz liked dealing with. He knew Rocky personally and it was not only a huge loss to the Special Forces unit, but also a deeply personal one. Sadly, Major Schlitz was contemplating closing the entire project down and pulling all of his resources and operations out of the country. It wasn’t that he was too afraid that Rock would talk if he was captured; or even that he had any really critical information to give if he was broken during torture. It was more that the whole project was now severely undermined and the idea that it was still a secret to the enemy forces was both in jeopardy and in doubt. As ...

Trump Says Both Sides at Fault Unassociated Press August 29, 2017 Refusing to take the side of the chickens, President Trump said that both the chickens and the sheep were in the wrong during a farmyard protest yesterday that turned violent. Poultry groups were incensed by the President's lack of condemnation of the sheep. The grand wizard of the sheep said Trump's views are basically the same as his.

Sorry to Disappoint you, but I have to try to see all sides in order to make good decisions. This in no way means that I always agree with one side or the other or neither or both. If you can only see one side and have no desire to at least try to understand the other side, that is unfortunate. It may (in my opinion) compromise your ability to see the truth or to make positive changes.

Working for an organization that promotes the preservation and understanding of history has not changed my mind about the tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia . But amidst the hysteria of political correctness, there is actually a historical aspect to consider; as well as a political one. First of all, let me go on record as saying the white hate groups are wrong. That kind of thinking is as anti-American as it gets. But let me also add that any hate-group of any ideology, racial identity or religious or political affiliation is also bad. But when we are talking about removing historical statues, memorials and the like, we are also treading on questionable grounds. If someone finds something objectionable, does that give him/her the right to destroy that portion of history? If so, should we also re-write the textbooks and historical accounts so that they no longer reference slavery and other social injustices? Holding history up to a measurement without considering its historica...

While I knew he had been in a battle with cancer, the last I had heard from my former coworker was that he had beaten it. Today I received an email that said he hadn't. That same ending had also happened to my friend Fred about ten years ago. Very early this morning, I had a dream about my friend Charlie who died five years ago from cancer. In the dream I knew Charlie was gone and I had actually talked to his family; rather than him. I had known Charlie and Linda and their kids for a long time. After the news of my coworker, Mark's recent passing I decided that maybe it was a good time to try to connect with Charlie's family. That was when I discovered his wife Linda's obituary—dated a little over a year after Charlie had died. I had no idea Linda was gone too. So for the moment I am reeling in shock at the events of this morning. It started with a dream and the reality manifested itself during my day. It is rather surreal as in neither here nor there. Or perhaps it...

The dangers of urban camping should never be taken for granted. For example, if the camper in the picture to the right rolled out of his tent while sleeping, he might end up on Interstate 94!

I would just like to point out that if you create an organization or program to promote diversity, and this entity excludes all persons from one racial group in favor of others, that you have created and perpetuated racial discrimination in the process.

Worth its weight in beaver pelts, is a visit to the North West company Fur Post . Our guide took us into the year 1804 where French Voyageurs labored in the (British) fur trade with the Ojibwe.

With all of the wonderful places to visit while in Duluth , my favorite is still Canal Park and the Lake Superior Marine Museum .

We visited the Duluth Train Depot so my son could ride on Thomas the tank engine and Percy . I enjoyed the train museum. This is one of many places to see in Duluth.

We traveled to Split Rock Lighthouse and though the weather was rainy, we still enjoyed the sights and sounds. This is a definite "must see' experience when near Duluth/Two Harbors, Minnesota

While warranted, another Whitehouse figure still needs to be removed in order to reclaim some semblance of government sanity.
