You know it had to happen. The Biden administration, facing a disastrous mid-term election in November, has taken a cue from George Orwell’s dystopian book, “1984,” and created a “Ministry of Truth” in the Department of Homeland Security. And just as in Orwell’s novel, the job of the newly-created “Disinformation …
If there is one thing most authors have in common, besides the sheer agony that sometimes accompanies the writing process, it is the dreaded Rejection Letter from an agent or publisher. I don’t know who got this one from Harlequin, but it had to be devastating to the person receiving …
There is an adage that says “any publicity is good publicity–even if it is bad.” Why? Because the objective is to get people talking about you and your book. If you are like me, I don’t believe a lot of the negative reviews I see on sites like Amazon, Barnes …
I saw this commentary about education in America–specifically, the Department of Education–and decided to share it with my followers.

If you are a faithful reader of the ForeignCorrespondent blog, you know that I often post about the disgraceful state of America’s news media—specifically about its dishonesty, its one-sidedness in reporting and supporting leftist ideas and narratives, and the abandonment of its “watchdog of government” function when that government is …
Will Elon Musk save Twitter and Restore Free Speech? That’s the $43 billion question the world is asking since Tesla CEO Elon Musk offered that amount to buy Twitter. As a Twitter user myself, I certainly hope so. Like a lot of people, including some 217 million daily Twitter users, …
I spent 28 years as a reporter and foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. It was a great career—one that I’m proud of. I won my share of major journalism awards and was nominated a couple of times for a Pulitzer Prize. But prizes or, for that matter, money was …
