Once again, my Third Amendment Rights are being violated. Cadet Lieberman has returned from West Point for a brief stay this week, and we have, as you can imagine, taken every moment possible to spend time with her. Tonight (for those of you reading this on the publication date of June 16) Chaney has decided to...
Hello, my name is Sandy Lieberman and this week I decided to hijack my husband’s blog. Many of you have met me before; some of you have not. For those of you whom I have not had the pleasure of seeing face to face, let me briefly introduce myself… I am an American. I am also...
West Point is a fort. Literally. It served as a military base along a strategic point near the Hudson River during the Revolutionary War. During that time General Benedict Arnold was in command of the garrison, which would lead to the ultimate betrayal of his comrades. Fortunately, his actions did not result in the...
“Lamenting lemmings swam they on, from sea to surf with death to spawn…” This was the opening line of a poem penned in 1987 by a collection of Jungle Cruise skippers at Disneyland. Each of us would contribute a couple of lines before going on break; by the end of the night the poem spanned...
Canaries in coal mines are an interesting thing.

It might also suggest the relative lack of value...
“What is the most powerful piece?” This was a question my father asked me when I was a boy. I had discovered a chess set in our den closet and was anxious to learn to play. I could not have been much older than seven or eight, and the chess pieces were each like little...
“So ummmm… have you heard about the Supreme Court case?” “New York Rifle and Pistol v Corlett?” “Yeah… that one. Does that mean that we are all going to be able to finally get off-roster guns?” “Ummmmm… maybe a discussion is in order.” I have had numerous conversations over the last week that essentially started out like that....
Last week I subjected you all to a long missive about the decline of the American Republic. This week I have decided to be a little more optimistic and discuss something, frankly, far more critical to us all as individuals: character. From business, to politics, to law, to the basic interactions between us as people,...
My dear reader, I normally keep these blog posts to a fairly short, digestible length. Unfortunately, today I have to violate that principle. This is a long one. So grab a cup of coffee, read through, and ruminate. It is not a particularly pleasant subject, but it is one that I feel needs to...
On Thursday of last week, President Biden announced his “executive actions” on gun control. This is somewhat of a misnomer as he really did not issue any “executive actions”.
