Greetings, everyone. Some of you may know that I have the distinct honor of being a member of the Round Canopy Parachuting Team (RCPT) — USA. We are a group of former US Paratroopers who seek to honor the memory of those men and women who dared to jump from aircraft into combat. This past summer, it was an unbelievable experience to be a part of the 80th anniversary of D-Day and do two parachute jumps into Normandy. Having an opportunity to see those brave American men there, returning to the place of their heroism and sacrifice, was humbling.

I write this missive in reflection upon those gentlemen, and many others of that era, compared to the recent #whitedudesforkamala virtual meeting. Yes, what a difference 80 years makes!
When you watch that collection of abject delta males, you just have to ask, when did it happen? When did this effeminate American male become such an acceptable part of our culture?
It did not happen overnight, but it has certainly come to an evident tipping point. As I write this missive, I am sitting in a hotel within eyeshot of The Alamo in San Antonio. It was not too long ago that the University of Texas, just a few miles north, was offering a course on toxic masculinity. Recently, three Texas males wrote a book called “Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth.” It is lauded as a New York Times bestseller. For some odd reason it has now become chic to assail men, strong, tough, and respectful men. Perhaps that is why a fella like Victor Marx has written a book called, “The Dangerous Gentleman: A Call for Men to be Courageous in a Culture of Fear.”
I found it quite disturbing that on the #whitedudesforkamala gathering, current Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg would quip that “abortion makes men more free.” In what world does that make any sense? Only in the progressive socialist leftist world of denigrating men. Men who ascribe to Judeo-Christian values are disparaged as Christian nationalists and other demeaning references. Funny, as a Husband, Dad, and PaPop, I believe that real men love babies, caring for them, protecting them, and watching them grow and thrive. What type of man, excuse me, male, cheers on the dismembering of life in the womb up to the time of birth?
When did we get to the point that we celebrate sexual deviants dressing up as women? Not only that, but believing that they should have access to our children? Once upon a time, that was a crime called contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Here in Texas, there was a federal judge stating that these sexual deviants have a constitutional right to promote their lifestyle to our children and grandchildren. Where are the Dangerous Gentlemen to say no?

I remember growing up and watching boxing with my Dad. Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman, who first earned an Olympic gold medal in boxing. Now, we have biological males boxing against women in the Olympics. Where is the honor in that? It is certainly not chivalrous. In any other instance, a biological male beating on a woman would be deemed as assault and battery. Who determined that biological males seeking to compete against girls and women was something to be celebrated? Or think about it: a government that seeks to nationally mandate males competing against females, taking away scholarship opportunities, endangering them, and allowing these mentally disturbed cowards to frequent women’s bathroom and shower facilities.
Eight years ago, none of this would have been seen as fathomable, yet here we are. It reminds me of a very sage bit of wisdom from the 1950s by Ayn Rand: “The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by dint of constant pressure on one side, and constant retreat on the other — until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the Country’s official ideology.”
We have allowed absurdity after absurdity to overtake our culture, our basic moral fiber. Today, we have delusional males marching in the streets supporting an Islamic terrorist organization. Eighty years ago in America, chances are you would not do well going into the streets and tearing down American flags and burning them. So, what happened?
We allowed Marxists to define what an American Man is. And now we have delta males, drag queens, and our little boys being told that they are girls…and given hormonal therapies, puberty blockers, and forced into gender mutilation surgeries. And if you are a Dangerous Gentleman, like Dr. Eithan Haim, and expose this, you will find a leftist government weaponized against you. Regardless, it is time for a renaissance of the American Man, like those who braved the beaches of Omaha and Utah, scaled the cliffs of Pont du Hoc, and dropped in the middle of the night from aircraft…80 years ago.
Steadfast and Loyal.
