With the 2020 election a little more than two weeks away, I found myself speculating on how informed the American electorate is. Given a biased mainstream media, I wondered if American voters are able to make an informed decision when they mark their ballots. A few years ago during an academic …
Ernie Meggisen says he is a Canadian. I have no reason to doubt that. The other day I received a commentary he wrote for a Canadian newspaper. I’m not sure which newspaper, but that is beside the point. As I read through his commentary I was struck by his view …
Well, what do you know? The World Health Organization has urged world leaders, including those in the United States, to stop using lockdowns as the primary control method against the spread of the China Virus, aka, the novel coronavirus or Covid-19. This is a dramatic turnaround by the W.H.O. and …

It’s a valid inquiry, given Biden’s bumbling, stumbling, grumbling answers to the pre-approved whiffle-ball questions a compliant press has lobbed at him …
I saw the exchange Newt Gingrich refers to in his commentary below. It was a stunning display of censorship. Gingrich, the former House Speaker, joined a group of panelists on Harris Faulkner’s show Outnumbered last week and was asked his opinion on violence and unrest afflicting major American cities. He …
The other day I was thinking about some of the most interesting people I met and worked with during a 27-year-career as a reporter and foreign correspondent with the Chicago Tribune. One of the first names that popped into my head was Anne Keegan, a one-of-a-kind reporter, and columnist for …
