End the Wussificaton of America

I write from the heart, as I look into the soul of flawed individuals in my books, who want to right the wrongs in their own life, and in the world, as they continue to enhance the rights. I'm trying to live my life the same way I write. Each main character, I develop, finds his or her strength and inner peace by falling in love with a man or woman who has intelligence, charm, and grace while they unconditionally love and are unconditionally loved.

     Several life changing events had caused such a hole in my heart I started to write to heal. Originally, I wrote a blog when my mother was going through chemotherapy so she could wake up in the morning to see me attempt to put the education my parents paid for to good use. One thing led to another and I decided to put my heart and soul on paper. To be honest, I fell in love with writing. As I said, it helped me heal, grow strength, and be dropped down to earth out of a perfectly good airplane, kicking some serious arse once I became situated.

     I loved, cried, and laughed as I found who the real me was developing characters with the emotions I had inside me. I loved introducing the world to Cristopher Mointz, Colin O’Hara, Aaron James Newton, and, coming soon, Seamus Kip Doyle. Real men, heroes one and all,

     I went to school for journalism when I first started college, actually it was for communications, because they didn't have journalism at the school I went to. I knew I had an opinion about a lot of things, I just wasn't sure how to get those opinions on paper with any cohesive thought process. Even as a freshman I was given the title of political editor for our college newspaper. When I look back at some of those articles, that I wrote, I feel embarrassed. The articles seemed like a fifth grader wrote them. I originally wrote second grader, but I must give myself a little credit. At least the subject matter was point on; my words didn't match up to the thoughts in my head and the tip of my tongue.

     Since my first book was published in 2015, I learned to write and write well. My thought process is still the same, I am now able to put my ideas on paper. There is so much I want to say, however, every single person has a podcast nowadays, even me. I found myself becoming extremely angry when I tape my weekly podcast. I see what is happening in this woke dominated world and I cannot look at a television anymore and watch network television. I was a professional athlete at one time, receiving money to play a kid’s game. No participation trophies for this guy; however, when I played men were allowed to be men. You treated women with love and kindness without worrying if they had an Adam's apple or not. Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina, period. Please do not send one of your woke drag Queens to my children’s school and believe that I would be OK with it. I do not care what your sexual orientation is, doesn't bother me in the slightest if you're gay, you're gay. Everyone should be able to experience love. What I don't agree with is trying to convince children to change their gender, especially behind a parent’s back. School boards and teachers’ unions have lost their ever-loving minds.

     Try telling me I have no right to be involved with my child's education. I just finished my second PhD and, believe it or not, I have a lot to say and plenty of experience in the education field. No woke school board member is going tell me I don't have a right to be involved with my child's education and upbringing. The Lord Jesus Christ is my best friend and I make no apologies for it. I decided during the pandemic to start and finish a PhD in theology. I'm not telling you how you should live your life, please don't tell me how I should live my life and how my child should be educated. If you believe normal is allowing young boys to wear Tinkerbelle costumes, then I don't want you near my child's school curriculum. No one should be having gender transition surgery before they are 24 years old.

     When did people start getting offended by everything? What happened to telling a good Polish joke now and again? I am Irish, we all know the Irish go gray and deaf early in life and are born not well endowed. If individuals want to make fun of me, more power to them. I love going to see comedians live. I love the comedian even more when they are not politically correct. People have to learn to not take everything so personal and develop tougher skin. I do not, in anyway, advocate for individuals to cross the line and be cruel. It would seem to me that everyone should be an equal opportunity comedian.

     Besides having drags shows in our elementary schools something that bothers me just as much is the infiltration of wokeness in our military. Do we want our special forces to be doing book readings and putting on drag shows in front of the enemy or do we want a fighting force who will stick up for our freedoms?

     I love how this woke generation believes parents, who put their children through school, now need to go ahead and help them with student loan debt. They believe it is OK to receive handouts. Do you know how I made money to go to college? My parents told me I was going to have to pitch in with some of the college bills. I joined the Army Reserves, went ROTC. and ended up in the Gulf to obtain my student loan money. Talk about getting tough skin real quick. I do not want to even start speaking of men playing female sports. Competing against women seems so unfair.

     This country has lost the ability to debate. Whether you love or hate Donald Trump the last thing I need to see is a picture of females screaming supposedly from their vaginas, telling Trump to go away. I hate to say this, but that is my second vagina reference in this article, I continue. You may be on one side of the political aisle opposite me or not. Individuals screaming from their vaginas lose all credibility with me because they do not even want to listen to the other side. I am a red-blooded American veteran; I do not care whose side you are on except the side of the United States. Have any opinions that you want, just stop making yourself look like a total buffoon by some of your actions and protests.

     I write psychological thrillers. I also write action-adventure dramas with a touch of, well, maybe more than a touch of romance. Men are men and woman are just as strong in my writings. But, I will be damned if I am going to add gasoline to the “wussification” of America by becoming woke. It is time for America to get her mojo back and stop allowing countries to walk all over us. I'm going to say it until I am blue in the face and I'm going to write it until my fingers fall off. We must grow a backbone if we want our children and our children's children to have what we grew up with. Time to cowboy up America and show the rest of the world boys are no longer wearing Tinkerbelle costumes to school and our daughters are stronger than ever before. Play time is over, as both the Cowboys and the Cowgirls roll into town right back from the hunt on the prairie. The rest of the world needs to learn, and learn quickly, there might be some Hollyweird crazies pushing agendas, but not within the heartbeat of America, the American soldier and veteran. You don’t want to test us.
