Blog post“You can’t handle the truth!” That famous line was delivered by Colonel Nathan Jessep, played by legendary actor Jack Nicholson in the 1992 film, A Few Good Men. Most of you probably remember the line, but many likely do not remember that A Few Good Men had an important moral to the story.
(Spoiler alert) In the film, two young Marines are accused of murdering another Marine. In the climactic scene, Col. Jessep is put on the witness stand and delivers that line -
Blog postWhen politicians, activists, and the media try to scare people with theories of the end of the world caused by climate change, you should ignore them. There are many reasons why. For one, they have been consistently wrong. Fifty years ago, they said that global cooling would cause a new ice age. When that didn’t happen, they said that global warming would flood the planet and drown us all. When that didn’t happen, they started to blame any bad weather on the very

Blog postThose on the left constantly opine that white males are overrepresented in Hollywood, in business, or in any other venture they can think of. They say that we should correct that by discriminating against white males in favor of people of color and women. Apparently, Democrats think people of color and women need help because those persons are not smart enough, talented enough, or hard-working enough to succeed based on merit. Those leftists think that media attention should

Blog postWhen I was a nine-year-old Little Leaguer, the picture day photographers made the players our own baseball cards. On mine was my picture and some facts about me, including my favorite player. I was on the Yankees and my dad had probably shown me the Gary Cooper classic, The Pride of the Yankees, so when they asked me who was my favorite player, I said Lou Gehrig. I was definitely a strange kid to pick someone who had died nearly 50 years earlier, but The Iron Horse is still

Blog postEvery year the best poker players in the world gather in Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker, the largest and most prestigious tournament series there is. I look forward to playing at least one WSOP event each June, and have three cash finishes to my credit. This year the series was moved back from June until October, so I was planning to head out to Vegas for a few tournaments, and had already won a $1,500 seat into the “Monster Stack” event. Then the discrimination beg

Blog postThe week before California’s recall election I had the privilege of meeting the world’s greatest athlete from 1976. That title was traditionally bestowed on the winner of the decathlon, and at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal Bruce Jenner won the gold medal for the United States while setting a new world record. In 2015 Bruce Jenner shocked the world in an interview with Diane Sawyer in which he told Sawyer that he was now a she. (Disclaimer: So as not to be a scienc

Blog postOctober is my favorite month of the year. I spend most of the month playing baseball tournaments in Arizona and watching postseason baseball on television. Last October was even better because I got to escape the tyrannical lockdown orders in my home state of California that destroyed businesses, ended friendliness by covering up smiles with mask rules that do not even work, turned record employment numbers into record unemployment, crushed the dreams of young athletes, and kept p

Blog postAmerica is divided and we all know it. Many people talk about us coming together and finding common ground, but in general, I don’t think that is possible because we no longer share the same values. There is, however, something that both the left and the right claim to want right now that makes for a great compromise. Both sides say that they want to save lives.
Now, a fair compromise gives both sides something that they want. We should all agree that sav -
Blog postI have a confession to make. Every Monday night, I sit down, open a bottle of wine, and watch The Bachelor. My sister used to text me to ask what I was up to, and I would send her a picture of some food, wine, and The Bachelor on television in the background. In fact, the picture of pizza on top of the Steve Connally’s Brain Facebook page is one of them. She would laugh at me back then, but eventually she started joining me to watch. Now we get together every wee
