George Orwell once made this prescient statement: “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” Guess who was listening to the author of 1984? Joe Biden was. So were the leaders of the American Federation of Teachers Union, the bogus …
Back in 1975 B.C. (Before Cyberspace), I lugged a 17-pound Olivetti Lettera 32 portable typewriter from the jungles of Cambodia to the central highlands of Vietnam as I covered the fall of both countries to communist forces. That Olivetti never failed me, though it took a severe pounding as I …
I recently read a new book by Kathleen Brush, Ph.D. entitled “Racism and anti-Racism in the World: before and after 1945.” It does a good job of arguing against the B.S. being spewed by President Biden, Black Lives Matter, the 1619 Project, and the “Border Czarina” aka Kamala Harris. The …
I never thought I would see the day when a U.S. president would lead the way in the obliteration of America. But that is exactly what is happening today. And it is quite possible Joe Biden doesn’t even know that he is doing it. The man who is squatting in …
[Yesterday, I posted about the Ken Burns documentary/biography on Ernest Hemingway that is currently airing on PBS and the pilgrimage I made to Hemingway’s house in Key West, Florida. Hemingway lived in the house in the 1930s during the apex of his career as a novelist. In this post, I …

Today, I am reprinting a commentary on the damage Critical Race Theory is doing to children in our schools and to our nation as a whole. It is written by Roger L. Simon, a novelist, and screenwriter. I have posted on Critical Race Theory before with my own thoughts about …
Like a lot of Americans, I subscribe to Mike Huckabee’s newsletter. I was going to write my take on Biden’s woeful press conference (Biden love-in is probably a better description), and I still might, given that there probably won’t be another such festive jamboree for another three or four months–if …
I recall when I was in middle school, junior high, and high school learning about our distinctive system of self-government and the necessity for the active informed civic participation of American citizens. Those classes had a variety of names: American history, History of the U.S. government, and social studies were …
A few days ago, Florida Governor Ron Desantis took the bold step of announcing that the decidedly racist, anti-white orthodoxy called Critical Race Theory will not be allowed to indoctrinate his state’s school children. “Let me be clear: There is no room in our classrooms for things like critical race …
