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. Contrary to what many in the corporate and diplomatic worlds tell us, China is NOT our friend. Nor are they some benign but tough commercial competitor. Instead, China’s ruling Chinese Communist Party …
Forty-nine years ago, I was on a U.S. Navy ship headed to the Philippines. It was May 1, and a couple of days before, I was evacuated from a place called Saigon (known today as Ho Chi Minh City) as it fell to Communist North Vietnamese troops. April 29, 1975, …
In the 1930s, Nazi thugs rampaged across Germany, attacking Jews and blaming them for the ills of the world. Fast forward to 2024, America, where we are witnessing a reappearance of the same kind of anti-Semitic behavior on college campuses and cities coast to coast. The only difference is that …

Why are cities allowing themselves to …
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 …
When National Public Radio whistleblower Uri Berliner penned an essay recently in the online news site “The Free Press,” criticizing the radio station’s leftist partisanship, many in the world of broadcast journalism seemed shocked. Not me. For the past two decades, I have watched NPR slide further and further into …
Most of us have received one of those emails displaying photos of so-called “Walmart People.” As you scroll down, you see a collection of pictures of Walmart shoppers wearing wild assortments of clothing, covering bodies that seem fashioned from silly putty or carved from tree stumps.
