Recently, there’s been a lot of furor over the NPR criticism of the Declaration of Independence as “a document with flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies.” This popular opinion is repeated as if these “flaws” and “hypocrisies,” if they indeed exist, somehow invalidate or give the lie to the argument itself. But I challenge anyone at…

This letter comments on Jean Chen’s article titled “A Mom’s Research: A Deep Dive Into Evolution” (June 30-July 6 2021). Ms. Chen states that, according to PBS’s Evolution website, “the Darwinian theory of evolution has withstood the test of time and thousands of scientific experiments; nothing has disproved it since Darwin first proposed it more…

The article by Jean Chen on evolution [“A Mom’s Research: A Deep Dive Into Evolution”] in the June 30 paper was spot on. The Darwinian theory fails to explain how the variety of species occurred (including us) and flourished, in addition to saying nothing about how life itself arose on the Earth. Since Watson and…

Intimidation. It’s a word we all might not like to think of, but it’s a word that affects us and we don’t even know it. The dictionary defines intimidation as “the act or process of attempting to force or deter an action by inducing fear.” We have seen those in the press, social media, academia,…

Trevor Loudon, in an article published earlier this year in The Epoch Times on March 10 [“A New Zealander’s 9 ‘Starter Steps’ to Save America From Socialism”], stated that “Trump was outmaneuvered” out of his office. That got me to thinking, cannot the communist-globalist-traitor-backed Democrats be beaten at their own game? If the GOP’s enemies…

I was sitting on the deck this afternoon looking out to the hills. About 200 feet from the deck and down about 50 feet in altitude stands a 50-foot pole with a 6-foot-by-10-foot U.S. flag. We just renewed it; they last about three years here. At 75, I have been lucky to have grown up…

Thanks for the common sense article by Cheng Xiaonong [“Climate Policies Continue to Mislead the Public,” published in the June 16–22 edition], which included Matishov’s theory that the earth is, in fact, cooling. I’ll bet you guys a steak dinner that if the cooling idea gains traction, the global warming loons will immediately blame fossil…

The article “My Father’s ‘Red Gold’” by James L. Cassie [featured in the column “The Family Table,” published in the June 16–22 edition] brought back many of my family memories. Growing up in an Italian family, Sunday dinner was a weekly family gathering. My mother would start the gravy (in Italian that would be ragu)…

This article [“Rediscovering the Healing Power of the Great Outdoors” by Conan Milner], like most of those in your “Mind and Body” section, was heavy on emotion and enthusiasm and light on data. Here is an important piece of data that readers of the article probably are asking themselves and it doesn’t provide: What is…

Regarding your article on 17 June 2021 “Why Net-Zero Is a Suicide Mission for Canada” [by Fergus Hodgson, published online]: I was surprised that with all the talk of net-zero, nobody appears to be quantifying the level of emissions that represents. I recently reviewed annual anthropogenic CO2 emission statistics versus atmospheric CO2 concentrations to better…
