Sen. Lindsey Graham et al should propose a constitutional amendment. — GOP Republicans In Name Only in the U.S. Senate, the ones who put forward that “bipartisan” gun legislation last week, can pull all the angry women who are not bothering to read the Supreme Court’s ruling from Friday into their court. How? Propose a carefully worded constitutional amendment. One they…

The decision to have an abortion is a matter for your state. — The decision to have an abortion is a matter for your state. The court did not take away your right to an abortion because abortion is not a constitutional “right.” The court’s opinion said the Constitution does not enumerate the right to abortion as a power of the federal government. Ergo, it was not ever a right. This is not a religious issue either.

‘Step right up for this social media trick. Pick a platform, any platform.’ In 2014, I lost a web client because I said they did not need to hire a search engine optimization “expert.” I told them, instead, to focus on writing good content about their profession, and I’d load…

How many novels must you read to affect your writing? At least 101 books. — Writing a novel? You must read, read, and read … at least 101 novels. I’m writing a novel. Three actually. I have two first drafts and a third nearing completion to where I can query. In the fall of 2014, I enrolled in Southern Methodist University’s The Writer’s Path program.

98 percent of what I watch these days is on YouTube. — Most days I educate, entertain, and inform myself via Apple TV. I no longer pay for cable TV and never plan to again. Gone are the expensive monthly bills and 350 channels I never could watch when I had them. I watch what I want when I want, and without…

So what about those who write quantity, not quality? — When writing, I prefer the Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers approach. Working there helped pay for college. I also received Employee of the Month and Employee of the Year recognition. My old boss, Stacey Ellen Rimer-Stakely of Montgomery, Alabama, still teases about this on Facebook. This is because when I graduated…

So many they became like using a January gym membership. — How many unopened email newsletters are in your inbox? Humor me. Check your email inbox and then comment. How many unopened email newsletters await your eyeballs? One day last week, my Mac Mail inbox reached 2,219 unread emails. Apple’s little red dots and white numbers trigger my OCD something fierce. My obsession to ridding my Macs, iPhone, and iPad…

How one man’s father taught him an important life lesson. — During the June 3 area men’s breakfast in Plano, Texas, my friend Dr. Harold D. Duncan spoke about neighboring. He used references his dad taught him long ago about loving one’s neighbor. Now right off, yes, Dr. Duncan delivers this message to a group of Christian men gathering in a…

Apple, I am not happy about doing this one darned bit. — Dear Tim Cook: I’m writing to let you know I am switching from Apple’s Safari to Google’s Chrome browser on my Macs. Again.
