    Just War - Catholic Husband

    Although armed conflict should always be a last resort, it’s a lawful tool for the defense of a nation. There are circumstances when, for the defense of innocents and the survival of a nation, war must be prosecuted. When that point is reached, when ethical and moral justifications are present, there is no point to a restrained or proportional response. Instead, the only true choice is to eliminate the threat through a precise, targeted, and intensive military action.

    Book Review: The Billion Dollar Spy 📚

    I’ve always loved espionage, and I was excited to pick up this well-reviewed book. Unfortunately, I found the content mostly dry for at least 85% of the book. I can’t put my finger on where it all went wrong, perhaps it was the rote blow-by-blow storytelling.

    Setting aside the presentation, the story of Adolf Tolkachev is one of the incredible stories of the Cold War. From the heart of the Soviet Union, Tolkachev risked everything to share secrets with the United States that guaranteed our technical dominance for decades. For his bravery, Tolkachev paid with his life.

    This is a story worth hearing, but not from this book.

    Would I recommend: NO

  • Buybuy Baby Is Back—and Opening Stores Again - WSJ

    The new owners of Buybuy Baby recently reopened 11 stores, betting that many expectant parents still prefer to shop for strollers, cribs and car seats in person. 

    I hate this branding, but physical stores are so critical for essentials.
