what a chaotic time we live in

Mar 1, 2026

I’ve never traveled to the Middle East, but I have booked speeches there for my favorite brother. I’ve worked with those coordinating events — from one of the largest communications companies in Bahrain — to a world tour partnering with companies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other locations in the UAE.

Of course, I’m thinking about the people I know that live in these areas, and praying for their safety.

Everyone has an opinion on the current military action in Iran.

I understand that Iran has been building ballistic missiles at an alarming rate, and the sooner they are shut down the less effort it takes. Other than that, I’m certainly not privy to information that those currently in power have, and it doesn’t matter if you or I agree… it’s happening.

Crazy that we can watch live cams of the areas in real time and hear the sirens warning of launches from Iran in Tel Aviv, Central Israel, and Jerusalem.

My strongest opinion is this: Any foreign student tweeting “death to America” should be deported immediately.

My 2nd strongest opinion is that Rachel Maddow is goofy and should get a job as a dog walker. I have one hound that could use the exercise, but doubt I’d trust her to even handle that. Her theatrics are pathetic… too over the top for my smart canine.

Since it’s out of our control…

I’m all for being informed on current events and what’s going on in the world in which we live, but I realize that we can not allow things out of our control to consume us.

Looks like I’ll be walking my own dog. 😉


Now you know: In 2016 researchers observed a female orangutan enlist the help of a male to kill another female. This is the first time a female orangutan has been observed killing another female. It’s “highly unusual” that the female enlisted the help of only one other individual & also one of a different sex.
