It was a weekend to remember. First, I spent Friday and Saturday back on ol’ Rocky Top for our University of Tennessee Army ROTC Hall of Fame Dinner and reunion. The goal is to have it coincide with Veterans Day weekend. Friday morning, we old guys braved a cool wet morning and ran 2.5 miles with the University of Tennessee Army ROTC Cadets. They said it would be a 10-minute mile pace – yea right. But how exhilarating to be able to run with those young men and women carrying on the legacy of the original Company of Infantry Dragoons that left the campus and volunteered to answer the call to arms in the Mexican War.

The National Post was a disruptive proposition 20 years ago. In the commendations and celebrations that are marking its anniversary, this should not be lost. The newspaper’s founding insight was that a significant number of Canadians were yearning for a different media perspective — one rooted in a more conservative worldview.

That insight was correct. Many Canadians were hungry for perspectives, ideas and opinions outside the “Laurentian consensus” of Canada’s chattering classes. I was one of those Canadians.

Routinely described as one of the greatest (and most common) fears, the thought of public speaking tends to illicit anxiety from even the most confident person. Fortunately, there are many ways to overcome this roadblock and learn to deliver a memorable and commanding speech.

The top motivational speakers know certain things to be true: nervousness is completely normal and to combat this, practice and prepare.

We succumb to the temptation over and over: Let’s just hand it over to the guy who promises to take care of everything for us.

One mayor introduced a bill to change the rules, and got the votes to pass it, allowing himself to run for an unprecedented third term. One president claimed to be able to solve all of our problems unilaterally with his pen and phone after having said as a candidate that his nomination would slow the rise of the world’s oceans. A later candidate asked for control of solving the nation’s problems saying, “I alone can fix it.” He would later say, “I am the only one that matters.”

Big Tech has a big bias problem.

Social media platforms that once facilitated the free exchange of ideas and information are now actively seeking to silence and censor conservative opinions.

This new Orwellian impulse that is taking over Big Tech is particularly problematic because social media websites, which are supposed to be safe spaces for all free speech, get special legal perks.

Greetings, everyone, from Rocky Mount, in Nash County, NC, where I have been spending time kicking off the school year here at North Carolina Wesleyan College, as their convocation speaker. This is a beautiful little campus, tucked away in tall pine trees. Being able to address young people on a college campus is a special treat. My words to the students are centered around the two most important days in a person’s life: the day one is born, and the day one learns why. I’m also sharing my top ten Bible verses for life. You can bet I won’t be invited to any progressive socialist campus, and be allowed to do the same.

Forty-nine years ago Friday, when astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon, we had every reason to believe that what he called his “small step” was in fact just the beginning of what he described as “one giant leap for mankind.”

In 1969, it was reasonable to expect that our space program would continue to move at the pace of the Apollo program. It was therefore reasonable to think that by 2018 we would have four to five colonies on the moon, space-based outposts in various lunar and cislunar orbits, mining operations on several asteroids, and a preliminary habitat on Mars.

At 1:45pm on Friday 13^th, I was standing on the Castle lawns in the shade of a cedar tree watching some cars leave Highclere after a press event here. Luis and his banqueting teams were in waistcoats (of course), they had been practising heading a football whilst I was throwing it in, only slightly worried about the Library windows – see my previous blog for more photos! We then began to carry plates of food back from the picnic to the office as I can’t bear to waste food and the meats and salads were utterly delicious. Bella the Labrador was helping.
