Masculinity Crisis!

The Long Road ·

2023/07/06

We have a masculinity crisis in America! Guess what? It's nothing new because we have had many masculinity crises in modern history. In today's show, I read you three of my newspaper articles that are all related to the Muscular Christianity movement and this problem of having men who are overly feminized. Weekly, I write a community health article for our local rural newspaper, so some of these articles are worth reading to you on my show. I'll start sharing some and giving you some extra context

'Sharpening"

The Long Road ·

2023/07/05

There is a story about Abe Lincoln who said if he had hours to cut down a tree--he would spend a lot of time sharpening his axe. It got me thinking about the lack of proper sharpening in my life from working "too much" and NOT resting enough. Here I share some self-criticism in hopes to help some of you not make the same mistakes so you can improve the quality and production of your lives.

"Compression of Morbidity"

The Long Road ·

2023/07/03

I heard something on the radio that reminded me of this very important concept I learned decades ago relating to the final act of decay as our bodies prepare to die...the "compression" of morbidity. Learning about this really changed my perspective and opened my eyes to seeing the world differently. I hope it helps you too.*Photo Credit: "Cankles" by Ron Jones

"Feminized Dependence"

The Long Road ·

2023/06/30

Following the Crash of 1929 and into the Great Depression of the 1930s, the US Government began involvement with "prehabilitation camps" that sought to make the American males fitter following WWI. Spinning around this movement was the Civilian Conservation Corps program--the CCC. Men could sign up for the CCC for one full year and get room, board, plenty of good food (which was hard to find in the 1930s), and make a small wage while they learned manual skills they could use to get a job after their

The Climate Communists now want to outlaw wood-fired pizzas in NYC. Forget the ban on flames--let's fire it up on this show! (Note language disclaimer this episode)Yet more! Russia in the news, real stories from Kalifornia when they banned surfing and skating (your pizzas are next in line on the firing squad NY), deportation camps in South America videos and reports coming out now about the US behind "sending" hundreds of thousands into the US illegally, and of course...the real overall goal for the

Military UNreadiness

Here are some latest updates on the US state of military UNreadiness. I go over current rejection rates and injury issues within the first few months of training with Army recruits. Points made on the history of PE and quality of movement focus from "classical PE training" vs. current physical "illiteracy" with our 18-29-year-olds.*Sources:"Study finds out-of-shape recruits cost Army millions as branch battles recruiting crisis" (Fox News, Published April 14, 2023)"Army announces creation of Future

Tulsa Storm Updates!

2023/06/19

Here are some current updates on the savage storm that hit the Tulsa area around 12:30 AM this last Sunday. The OK Corral did well despite branches and limbs being flung all over our property. We never lost power, but up to 200,000 in the Tulsa area lost power, and some will not get power until this Saturday afternoon with the heat index climbing to 90-95 degrees tomorrow. Preparation came to mind for this show. What did I do? What can you do? Are you prepared physically to handle an intense

Propaganda Punt Return

The Long Road ·

2023/05/26

Here is another share of a segment of public relations history, social psychology, and propaganda. This idea of "diversity" to get away from a totalitarian "monolithic unity of group think" started in the early 1960s. The idea was to get away from controlled media by government overreach, yet that punted ball was returned right into our own end zone!*Source: "PR!: A Social History of Spin" by Stuart Ewen (1996)

Full STOP.

Sometimes in life, you hit a situation that requires a full STOP. Your original plans or existing thoughts fly out the window. Yesterday afternoon marked the beginning of a full stop for me...and many others in my community.

"The Nut of Dreams"

The Long Road ·

2023/05/23

Back in the mid-1990s, I was in a really hard place where I was going to college part-time but could not yet afford to go full-time. This time was absolutely agonizing and miserable because I was SO READY to move forward but was still stuck in a hard place for a while--then I took one small action to mark this important moment along my life's timeline that still motivates me today to keep going for life-long learning and improvement. Could it be something so simple as a discarded object you find in

Creating News

The Long Road ·

2023/05/22

Most of what is on the news is actually created for the purpose of controlling people. Sound like a conspiracy theory? Think again because this admission came from the father of modern propaganda and public relations Edward Bernays who was voted as one of the most influential people of the 20th Century. Here are a few shares on how most news is indeed "created" and what is being done behind the scenes to manipulate people through their emotions. *Source: "PR! A Social History of Social Spin" by

"No Bending Over"

The Long Road ·

2023/05/15

I noticed an advertisement on the back of my magazine for some new shoes by Skechers. The catch lines were, "No Bending Over. No Touching Shoes." I get why they are making and marketing these shoes--Americans do not move well especially as they age, but where does this philosophy of living end? The promotion of rigidity and being LESS mobile does not sound like a good idea! Here are some quick thoughts on what I have learned about seniors and mobility over the decades.

"The Trail"

I've been building this trail behind my lake house--ALL by hand with a pick axe, shovels, blade axe, and two plastic buckets to carry dirt, gravel, and rocks back and forth. Here's how I feel about it and what we can all learn from VERY HARD manual labor.

"Propaganda Peek-a-BOO!"

The Long Road ·

2023/05/10

History often repeats--good or bad. We decide--but "how we decide" is quite orchestrated by the elitists. Here's a share straight out of the Nazi propaganda playbook using cutting-edge social psychology science and the "art" of rhetorical control of the masses...the same methods are being implemented NOW to engineer public consent and opinion. *Source: "NATIONAL SOCIALISM: BASIC PRINCIPLES, THEIR APPLICATION BY THE NAZI PARTY'S FOREIGN ORGANIZATION, AND THE USE OF GERMANS ABROAD FOR NAZI AIMS"

Graduation Advice

The Long Road ·

2023/05/08

At a recent high school graduation I attended, the principal concluded his grad speech with these wise words, "Get off your phones; live your lives." I thought this was brilliant; however, as he stated above, I noticed many surrounding me ON THEIR PHONES having completely unrelated conversations, watching videos, playing video games, etc. Some of the kids attending had iPads and full-cover headsets, so they we completely tuned out of the speeches and zoned out on stupid video games. It's

My esteemed colleague "Ms. B" just retired after 37 years of classroom teaching. I grew quite fond of Ms. B, and we developed a wonderful appreciation for each other and her students this past year.

"A Year of Country"

The Long Road ·

2023/05/06

I just wrapped up a full year of teaching at the rural Oklahoma school where I taught 3rd-5th grade physical education. What I learned about love, family, community, and relationships is worth a whole segment today. I love my kids, and they love me back. I hope you enjoy the sharing and find some value in the Native Cherokee philosophy of "wrapping them" with love and care.

Thought Control History

The Long Road ·

2023/04/29

1917 was a pivotal year for propaganda and social psychology. The emerging science and understanding of how to control mass thought were used to talk Americans into supporting WWI in Europe. Some of those who opposed this orchestrated "national" effort--were arrested and imprisoned. Sound familiar?*Reference: "PR! A Social History of Spin" by Stuart Ewen (1996)*Graphic: US National Security Agency Poster (Circa 1950-1970)
