TRThursday: The Old Lion is Dead – Theodore Roosevelt Dies
As I sit here writing the final article in our wonderful #TRThursday series, I find myself a bit emotional thinking about the man, Roosevelt, his last many adventures, his death, and the impact that such a character has had on history. Many, including myself, will chide his presidency as being one of progressive policies that altered ...

TRThursday: The Things that Will Destroy America
While Theodore Roosevelt got a number of things wrong as president, he had great insight into what makes America strong or weak, and his words can easily be applied to any nation. Time and again, he enjoined people to not give in to soft-living but instead pursue the strenuous life of hard-work and purpose. He was ...

TRThursday: Roosevelt the Conservationist, not Environmentalist
I wish I had gained a love of history in my youth, because it changes how we view the history that is being written in our daily lives. It also provides a great deal of perspective on how easily history can be revised to suit the current-day influencers. One of the popular methods ...

TRThursday: Roosevelt’s Fiscal Retardation
Teddy Roosevelt had many noble virtues which are to be emulated by men. Unfortunately, frugality, thrift, and common fiscal sense were not among them.

TRThursday: Get Action! Do things! Be Sane!
Sometimes I read the things Theodore yelled at people and think, “I wish I had the guts to say that!” I may never get used to the kind of confidence he had in himself and his beliefs. The sort of conviction that moves him to say what ought to be said in the ...
