Some Thoughts on Mental Illness
I recently sent my final draft of the manuscript of my memoir to my publisher. The book is broad – everything from my childhood to adult history of overcoming bipolar disorder. One of my objectives is that this book helps to remove the stigma of mental illness from both the patient and everyone else. When…
Read MoreRallying the Republicans for Election 2016
We Republicans must unite solidly and quickly behind Scott Walker for President. Why? Most of all he is a winner built on courage, leadership, innovation, wisdom, capability, and vision – much more such as his genuine values. If we Republicans unite behind Scott Walker early, it avoids the disaster we had in 2012. There is…
Read MoreContemplating Our Purpose in Life
Our purpose is first to take care of ourselves in mind, body and “little piece of God.” If we don’t do that, we can’t help our families, others and God. This requires self-discipline and the mutual respect between others and ourselves. The realities of life can range from joy to sorrow and from triumphs to…
Read MoreWe must stop kicking the fiscal can down the road!
The future is all we have ahead of us. We need – globally and nation by nation – to take account of our governmental debt and entitlements. The world has never been in a position such as this with such stupendous debt and entitlements. “Kicking the can down the road” has happened again and again. …
Read MoreThinking Ahead to our Next Presidential Election is CRUCIAL
I just finished reading my latest blog for Governor Scott Walker as a 2016 Presidential winner and also my review of his book “Unintimidated.” Scott Walker, in my opinion, has proven courage, leadership, innovation, capabilities, honesty, and conservative wisdom. The Presidency with Scott Walker assuming office – on January 20, 2017 – will come none…
Read MoreWhy the Peaceful Majority Is Irrelevant, by Paul Marek
Paul Marek vividly describes the current brutality of radical Islam and its peaceful victims. He also reminds us how the peaceful ones in Germany became dominated by the Nazis. Additionally, he recites similar slaughters in Communist Russia and China as many other examples of genocide. Peace and freedom are in jeopardy. Listen to these wise words…
Read MoreMental Illness and Kindness
The stigma of mental illness must be eliminated as more and more of humankind knows more and more how to treat them – just like breast cancer, diabetes, and on and on. One by one, we have our strengths and weaknesses. Trying to accept others as they are, perhaps helping them with some form of…
Read MoreThe Road to Prosperity
It’s sobering how almost all people, worldwide, don’t have any understanding at all about currency defacements globally, in terms of some nations which a currency failure will severely affect so many others. For example, Japan, which is the third largest economy, is close to the potential of a currency failure. Their central bank is “buying”…
Read MoreThe Bipolar Millionaire, Updated 2016 Edition
We have reorganized the first edition of my memoir in chronological order while keeping almost exactly the parts that we had originally included. I invite you to get a copy and I’ll bet you will have a hard time putting it down. People tell me it’s a “page-turner.” It’s the honest account of my life…
Read MoreA Future of Nonviolence
Both Gandhi and President Reagan produced – they not only had wonderful, insightful and inspiring ideas; they changed the world to a better place and left a legacy of thought that should be emulated. Non-violence is a concept not often applied to President Reagan. But look at what he did, so much toward ending the…
