A few commentaries have been floating around the Internet for the past several years that have attempted to add a little perspective to the many critical issues and challenges we are facing today. I have adapted the contents of a couple of those to my essay here. Essentially what those …
President Biden declared this week that not only can U.S. Senators be harassed by demented leftists while doing their “business” in public bathrooms, but parents who protest too passionately at public school board meetings about how their children are being indoctrinated in classrooms will be investigated as “domestic terrorists” by …
I occasionally re-post commentaries by Victor Davis Hanson, who is a distinguished fellow of the Center for American Greatness and the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. Hanson is always lucid and logical in his approach to the issues and problems facing America. Here he …

I just binge-watched Netflix’s six-part mini-series entitled “The Chair,” and brother did it bring back memories of when I was a University of Illinois department head and later, the dean of a college. Unlike my 13-years in academia, The Chair takes place at fictional ultra-liberal Pembroke University, which one faculty …
