Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™, laments the slide of heroic white, conservative men into "grumpy old men." Meanwhile, it is often taking black men, black women, and black woman IMMIGRANTS to inspire new blood into the movement, too often leaving "grumpy old men" in the dust. One of the reasons for the existence of Old School™ is to "teach old dogs new tricks"—to re-inspire "grumpy old men" to return to being the "happy warriors" of old. It is not too late—for grumpy old men or America!

After our assignment to West Germany in the mid '80's., my husband was assigned to the First Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas. We were living in Harker Heights, Texas. During that period of military build up President Reagan the waiting list for on-post quarters was rather long, so we were renting a mobile home. I found out I was pregnant with our third child. My husband had to go to a NCO training school. When the trailer park manager learned that I was pregnant he told that we would have to find another place to live because the park...

Something strange seems to be going on with Newsweek. Although few are still aware it even exists and even fewer actually read it, they sometimes publish stories that diverge drastically from its usual liberal orthodoxy. Perhaps they are willing to sometimes commit such heresy simply to draw attention. And in the case of their op-ed column by a Yale professor of epidemiology on Thursday, they sure got the attention of anyone reading it since it utterly shattered the media taboo against hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19. The liberals say we "must listen to the experts" and it is hard...

Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™, explains in a simple fashion how meditation actually works--that there is a REASON for each component, and how essential it is that we find a counterbalance to the mind-control techniques of mass media that pull us further and further away from the center of our common sense.

Fox News reports Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot was called “unprofessional,” “childish” and “pathetic” by the city’s president of the Fraternal Order of Police, John Catanzara, who was in turn responding to her sharp criticism of him. Catanzara appeared Tuesday night on “The Ingraham Angle,” where he also reacted to breaking news that at least a dozen people had been shot outside a funeral home. Lightfoot had referred to Catanzara as “unhinged” and attention-seeking after the union leader wrote a letter to President Trump asking for federal assistance amid Chicago’s continuing crime wave. Lightfoot called the prospect of federal intervention “chaos”...

Some thoughts on Joe Biden's description of Islam as a "great confessional faith," and belief that it should be taught in our public schools.

The woman is a cancer-breeding and cancer-killing machine. – Think about it: How many people have you ever heard of who have had lung cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer and liver cancer over a span of less than a decade and lived to tell about it? That’s the record that the extraordinarily enduring Ruth Bader Ginsburg has now racked up in recent years. Today, she announced that she has been receiving treatments for liver cancer since May and the Supreme Court has managed to cover that little fact up until now. She also claimed that her hospitalization earlier this week...

We need each other. That is being forgotten. PC fear is dominating discourse and too many people are forgetting to be kind. Hiding in a basement to win more votes? Some people remember to connect.

While ABC’s, CBS’s, and NBC’s evening news shows were busy hawking psychologist Mary Trump’s anti-Trump book July 7, they ignored a glaring bias. Mary Trump had been a Democrat donor for years, donating to the party, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

VIDEO Wouldn't you love to play poker with Mary Trump? Her tell is so obvious it practically screams at you.

Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™, discusses the nerve of many Americans sitting on their backsides and expecting Jesus will come down to save them.

VIDEO ADDRESS: https://twitter.com/i/status/1278468643681112065 Never look a gift horse in the mouth, or the rear—OUCH! When a lefty communist agitator tried to sneak up on a horse-mounted cop with seeming animal cruelty up her sleeve, his horse took matters into his own hooves and sent the commie sailing. Two police officers were on their horses with their backs to a woman. She ran up and appeared to intentionally hit the police horse. She got a kick out of her behavior, and it must really be physically painful as well as highly embarrassing. The horse hit her back, much harder, and actually...

Cancel culture at its worst: A Boeing executive just quit his job because an employee complained that 33 years ago, he had written that he was against women in combat Boeing communications chief Niel Golightly just quit his job because an employee complained that 33 years ago, he had written that he was against women in combat.According to this article from Reuters, in a 1987 article, Golightly had written:“At issue is not whether women can fire M-60s, dogfight MiGs, or drive tanks. Introducing women into combat would destroy the exclusively male intangibles of war fighting and the feminine images of what...

[Note: I received this in an email from a friend and great American in Washington, DC today. As we head into the July 4 weekend during this difficult time for our country, it touched me, and I hope it touches you as well.] INSCRIPTIONS OF A NATION In 1994, my good friend Clint Ensign, Vice President of Sinclair Oil published a small book containing the inscriptions from the major memorials, historic buildings and structures in the nation’s capitol. He titled it: “Inscriptions of a Nation – Collected Quotations from Washington Monuments”. It was the culmination of years of effort on...

VIDEO The reaction of much of the media to the fantastic June unemployment report reveals why they have been in overdrive recently hyping the rise in Coronavirus cases. Of course, included in those cases are asymptomatic people as well as those who have RECOVERED from COVID-19 but have antibodies in their systems. Meanwhile, if you have been following my videos, tweets, and Newsbusters reports, then you know that while the media continues to report the increased cases they RARELY reveal the very important fact that the daily death numbers are in a steep decline. Since the media is DESPERATE...

Here are 167 reasons why I’m against the COVID-19 lockdowns Introduction Please share the link to this list on Facebook, Twitter, email, message boards, etc. Thank you. A lot of the people who support the COVID-19 lockdowns have said it’s because “lives are more important than money.” But the lockdowns are actually killing far more people than they’re saving. So instead of it being about “lives vs money,” it’s really about “fewer people dying vs more people dying.” And yet, when I bring this up, lockdown supporters either ignore it, or they accuse me of not caring about people’s lives, or...

A new wave of mandates is here, supposedly in the interest of our health? But if this is true, why are they ignoring the tools that can save our lives?

If you think New York Times economist Paul Krugman’s op-eds are bad, his Twitter account is even worse. It’s a collection of babble, not the commentary of a Nobel laureate.

Can President Trump actually fix Black America? Does this sound like a crazy question? There's a reason for asking it. In a way, many Black Americans are asking him to do just that. But there's a better question for Black Americans—and ALL Americans—to ask...
