The Lion's Roar Posted on February 7, 2024 by LarryFebruary 7, 2024

I’ve been mining this blog for material that I can use in my new project, Accessible Success. I ran across a post from 2016 in which I had some unkind things to say about then candidate Donald Trump. I want … Continue reading →

The Lion's Roar Posted on September 20, 2021 by LarrySeptember 20, 2021

“Casinos can meet at 50 percent capacity but churches, even with buildings that seat thousands, can only accommodate 50 people. If you kill babies in the womb and sell liquor to the public, you provide essential services. If you open … Continue reading →

Facing Down Facebook, Round 2

The Lion's Roar Posted on December 29, 2020 by LarryDecember 29, 2020

The first time I wrote about overcoming troubles with Facebook, it was all about accessibility. Being practically blind and requiring software that interprets what is on the screen and reads it allowed can present some difficulties when the source is … Continue reading →

Californians, welcome to Texas, but i hope you learn something before you vote

The Lion's Roar Posted on December 22, 2018 by LarryDecember 22, 2018

With the influx of people from California and other states known for the color blue, a cry of indignation has risen from those of us already here who like Texas the way it is, “Don’t California my Texas!” That’s not … Continue reading →

Your Government on Drugs

The Lion's Roar Posted on September 8, 2018 by LarrySeptember 8, 2018

I keep hearing about the “Opioid Crisis” from both sides of the aisle.  I suppose that since it seems to have had something to do with causing it, government should do something to clean it up.  However I have little … Continue reading →

How the Minimum Wage Hurts the Poor

The Lion's Roar Posted on August 5, 2017 by LarryAugust 5, 2017

After sharing an article with this title on Twitter and Facebook, I got into a conversation with someone who didn’t agree.  The concern is genuine.  The thinking goes that if we make companies pay the workers more, they’ll have a … Continue reading →

This Morning’s Prayer

The Lion's Roar Posted on May 4, 2016 by LarryMay 4, 2016

Indiana held its primary yesterday, and voted for Trump.  Cruz dropped out of the race.  I have never been so profoundly affected by the results of a political race.  I know that You are our only savior.  I know that … Continue reading →

Conservative Hypocrisy

The Lion's Roar Posted on February 2, 2016 by LarryFebruary 2, 2016

Remember the 2012 elections? Remember what was said by many about some of the candidates who ran in that election? Herman Cain was driven out with questionable allegations of sexual harassment. Newt Gingrich rightly faced tough questions about his divorce … Continue reading →

Effective political messaging

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 13, 2016 by LarryJanuary 13, 2016

I don’t like pointing out problems to which I can offer no solution. I just suspect that what we’re doing doesn’t work. I get frequent requests because of my association with the Republican Party to help out with campaigns or … Continue reading →
