Unintimidated: A Governor’s Story and a Nation’s Challenge
Unintimidated: A Governor’s Story and a Nation’s Challenge By Governor Scott Walker (Wisconsin) with Marc Thiessen Review by John E. Wade II Summary Governor Walker received national attention when he became the first governor in American history to win a recall election—and by a bigger margin than his original election. This happened after angry protesters…
Read MoreImagine a World without Death
I recently read a book about the whole process and history leading up to and including death. I’ve written that as we move from The Innovation Age to The Spiritual Age, somehow, someway, God will eliminate death. This book has not changed my mind. But I will readily write that I don’t have God’s timeline. …
Read MoreThe Time is NOW to Stop Radical Muslims
The barbaric acts of the radical Muslims must be stopped. Militarily they can not be allowed to go on. But part of the long-term puzzle is a worldwide alliance of all major non-Muslim nations. The Sage of Singapore recommended that approach. This alliance would back the moderate Muslims. But another piece of the puzzle is…
Read MoreElection 2016 Is on My Mind!
One of the worst things that can plague a democracy is corruption and distrust toward its leader. That’s exactly what we would have if Secretary Clinton becomes the next president. It just doesn’t make sense to elect a person for president who can’t be trusted from the very beginning. We need an honest, capable, and…

I recently wrote some thoughts as I was reading through (for the second time, I think), Henry Kissinger’s recent book, World Order.

Read MoreScott Walker Can be Our Next “President Reagan”
As I’ve recently written, I read Henry Kissinger’s fine book, “World Order.” It’s well-written and certainly worth careful reading and consideration. But I do have one major problem with it – a book called “World Order” with practically little mentioned about globalization, business, taxation, regulations – so much of which directly affects – for good…
Read MoreGrave Concerns about Hillary Clinton
I just finished reading two articles in The Economist about Hillary Clinton and her potential presidential campaign. I think she will have some serious issues being elected—problems that even her expected $1 billion campaign war chest won’t be able to overcome. The most serious is that she is not trustworthy and is unlawful in her actions, with…
Read MoreWorld Order by Henry Kissinger: My Summary
Henry Kissinger served as Secretary of State under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and advised many other presidents on foreign policy. His book contains a wonderful assemblage of information and wise analysis, culled throughout his lifetime, about history and worldwide current events. He even explains modern technology, from nuclear weapons to cyberspace warfare. For…
Read MorePreparing for Our Future
The future is all we have ahead of us. We must prepare for it in so many ways, from exercise and nutrition to the cultivation of our mind and spirit. Leaving one’s future to chance or the lack of prudence and ambition is pure folly. While none of us “knows” the future, observation of others’…
