In years past being a Chaplain in any service organization was usually pretty simple. You would do the standard prayers at meetings, blessings at dinners, the 7 o'clock toast, provide counseling to people for mostly mundane events and just generally help out people around you. It involved helping families of veterans to occasionally put to rest their loved ones, which were often rare events. And may I mention that Chaplains are, for the most part, ignored by the hierarchy of most organizations;... Full story

Note - This is one of the many emails we receive. As an attorney, I hesitated to forward this as it can be considered to be an indictment against my profession. But I believe there is much truth to the article below. Very thought provoking. Lawyers are adversarial and are trained to try to win at all costs. It may work in litigation but does not work well when governing our nation. Trying to win at any costs creates the polarization and hatred that now fills our country and leaves no room for...

Well, well well. Finally some GREAT news for Sr. Citizens!! ...Instead of all the normal 'Gloom n Doom' associated with the geriatric group (the fastest growing segment of society by the way) we're finding out that we're actually leading in brain activity. FYI - maybe being older is better?? The director of the George Washington University College of Medicine argues that the brain of an elderly person is much more plastic than is commonly believed. At this age, the interaction of the right and... Full story
Publishers Note - With the way our world is now we receive a lot of comments regarding our world. Some we choose to pass on to our readers. I never cared if you were "gay" or whatever acronym you chose to call yourself, until your 6% of the population started wanting special privileges. I never cared what color your skin was, until your 12% of the population (Blacks) started blaming me for your problems, and wanting restitution for any ills my White ancestors may have done to your Black...

Charles Krauthammer (who is now deceased) wrote this excellent memo on our enemy! Ever wonder why protests and demonstrations get started almost immediately after some announcement by the Trump administration? How anti-gun marches get set up so quickly after a school shooting? Huge marches on Washington DC are organized so quickly? Read this and you'll know why........ The Enemy Amongst Us!!

INTERESTING ESSAY Author UnKnown Men, like nations, think they're eternal. What man in his 20s or 30s doesn't believe, at least subconsciously, that he'll live forever? In the springtime of youth, an endless summer beckons. As you pass 70, it's harder to hide from reality....as you lose friends and relatives. Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd century contemplating an empire that stretched from Britain to the Near East, thinking: This will endure forever.... Forever was about...

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: - Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm; - Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can... Full story
Since the 1960's, which I must admit I was there, the liberals (read that as today's Progressives) have been trying to bring back the 1960's. You, know,the fun times of the riots, the fires, the murders, the lawlessness, the racial inequality, and hatred that came with it just so that they could maintain political power. Yup, Good old liberal times and good old socialism. Well Congrats Progressives!!! Success! In the past there has been Fascist Socialism (Italy), National Socialism (Nazis),... Full story

We certainly were the lucky ones, in so many ways: Obviously some of you don’t fall in this age group but your parents and/or your grandparents do and this will help you appreciate what they endured in their lifetime. Interesting Facts: IF you were born in the 1930s to the mid 40s - you exist as a very special age group. You are the smallest group of children born since the early 1900s. You are the last generation, climbing out of the depression, who can remember the winds of war and the i... Full story
Political Thought From Canada I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind! You can't justify this insanity: • If a guy pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him. • Somehow it's un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America. • Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good. • It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine...

by Charles C. W. Cooke Posted on July 3, 2022 Because I still have a strong English accent, Independence Day tends to bring with it a whole host of good-natured jokes at my expense. “Didn’t we kick you out?” my friends like to ask. Others invite me to “send condolences to the Queen,” or inquire, sardonically, “Tell me: Are you rooting for the colonists, or for George III?” Of course, as those teasing me know, I am rooting for the colonists. And I am not just rooting for them then. I am rooting...

I could recount numerous stories about these businesses. However, it might be more productive to see information about money that you as a business owner may... Full story

Publishers Note - This was written by Christopher Hernandez a student at Rio Salado College. Our category WOOT stands for Western Outdoor Other Times and we thought this was a well written essay.
