Those who grew up in the 1950s know a few things about that era. For example, we know the 1950s weren’t perfect. What era is? We know opportunity wasn’t always available for minorities, and neither was equality when it came to civil rights or equal pay for women. But we …
The Boy Scouts of America are no more. In a total surrender to the cult of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the woke kingpins who control that organization decided this week to take the “Boy” out of Boy Scouts and change its name to “Scouting America.” Roger A. Krone, president and …
With the 2024 presidential election less than six months away, squabbles about how Americans elect their president have begun anew. For those who may have forgotten what they learned in civics classes (if indeed, anybody still learns about civics in today’s schools) presidential elections consist of both a popular vote …
In case anybody in Washington is interested—and that includes our feckless, unwitting president—China is at war with America.

On occasion, I receive emails containing interesting ideas and commentaries. When someone has written a commentary that is especially cogent and compelling, I like to post it. What follows is a particularly forceful, frightening, and persuasive commentary I wish all Americans would read. It is entitled “The Herd: The 2024 …
Since Hamas terrorists slaughtered some 1,400 innocent Israeli men, women, and children on October 7, 2023, we have seen pro-Hamas demonstrators shut down expressways, bridges, and college campuses while screaming “death to Israel” and “death to America.” Why are we allowing this to happen?

It had to happen. Once again, is anybody surprised? Not me. When I posted just two days ago about NPR senior editor Uri Berliner’s scolding of the radio network’s blatant left-wing bias on the online news site The Free Press, I wondered how long it would take for the station’s …
