It's official. The New York Times has fallen on hard times. It's become nothing more than a propoganda outlet for war loving Dems.

In this episode, I explain why Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate, deserves an F for his incoherent column on the Ukraine War. He failed to address the big issues, ignored gigantic weakness in the Biden's current Ukraine policy, used mathematical tricks that a second grader could spot, and could only resort to sophomoric ad hominem attacks on people opposing US military aid to Ukraine.

Whoa, Krugman represents a new low in the value of a Nobel prize.

Ruck Here, Ruck Now. In this episode, I cover my results after 45 days of rucking, identify the benefits, bash jogging, and offer you a suggestion for your first ruck!!

Dudes and dudettes!! Put some unsweetened cocoa powder into coffee.

In this episode, I cover some of the amazing health benefits of cocoa powder.

Be happy this fall friends!

It looks like Scott Pelley and 60 Minutes have joined the Ukraine Propaganda War Machine! Pelley recently interviewed Vladimir Zelensky about the Ukraine War. Pelley lobbed one softball after another and let Zelensky brazenly lie without any hard hitting questions.

60 Minutes has fallen on hard times. It's become the Sunday edition of The View, mostly opinion and infotainment.

In this episode, I explain why.

This one might seem a little dull, but I love this particular topic, identifying things we can control or influence that can have a profound impact on our life.

I briefly discuss the work of Amy Wrzesniewski, a Yale professor of management, who came up with the concept of "job crafting". I expand on this and discuss the concept of "life crafting", and the great stoic philosopher, Epictetus.

I share three life crafting examples in my own life relating to adding, reorganizing, and subtracting.

In this episode, I'll discuss my reaction to an interview that American Stoic Ryan Holliday had with James Clear. They discussed connecting yes with no when deciding whether to commit to an activity. I call it yes/no coupling, but I doubt this original with me.

You'll probably think this episode will suck, but I think mind will be blown if you actually listen. Love me some James Clear!!

You'll just have to listen!

This episode sounds super boring, but I think it's one of my best episodes.

I came across a passage in Marcus Aurelius' - Meditations on virtues that everyone can demonstrate.

We cover Tom Brady, a little politics, and even a little discussion on virtues of not drinking alcohol. Loved this one!

Let's ruck! I am in the second day of a 30 day rucking experiment. I'd love to have you join me. This episode covers rucking versus running and the stand alone benefits of rucking.

What is rucking?

To "ruck," you just need to place a heavy object in your backpack. Most rucking websites recommend starting off with 20 pounds.

Friends of the RockneCast, I am challenging you to ruck at least 30 minutes each day for the next 30 days.

I am just using a 25 pound stone and in a backup. You don't have to buy an expensive rucksack. Any weight will do.

Report back to me how much weight you've lost and any other results after 30 days: [email protected] or [email protected].

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin recently announced that he is considering leaving what he describes as the "toxic" Democratic Party and running for the Presidency under the No Labels Party banner.

Whoa, after decades of Democratic Party and first hand observation of today's national Dems, Manchin has had enough, even though he is currently one of the most powerful Dems in the United States.

Machin would rather give up power and save his last ounce of self respect rather than serve under the amoral antagonists of the working class, the Democratic Party.

I say leave 'em and run Joe run!!
