Infrastructure

President Biden’s proposed $2.3 trillion infrastructure program would be spent over eight years. It includes $85 billion that would go toward transit. Key components are  $55 billion for transit state of good repair, $25 billion for transit expansion, and $5 billion for Americans With Disabilities Act implementation. Democrats also provide $21 billion for safety, $25…


Awakened

My ears are overflowing with the improper use of the word “woke” from all sides. If we continue to use this word in its slang context, we are validating its place in society and the philosophy that follows. We have a duty to stop unconsciously legitimizing an ideology that sows hate, deceit, and inaccuracies—particularly one…


The Way We Teach Math Needs a Drastic Overhaul

I make a living teaching math to middle-schoolers, most often against their will. The job is rewarding and purposeful, sure, but my next favorite part is the praise and attention I receive upon telling others about my apparently very noble calling. “Wow, God bless you guys. I could never do that. Math? Good for you….


Thomas Jefferson’s Rules for Life

Kudos to Joshua Charles for today’s article [published in the May 19 edition]. What a magnificent boost for all of us. Reflection upon the words of our eminent “Founding Father” shows how intuitive and wise he was so many years ago. All Americans should read, review, study, and submit Jefferson’s 10 points to their friends,…


Beware of the 3-letter Word

It used to be the four-letter words that prompted a negative reaction in most of us. Now it is the three-letter word (I know, not really a word) that scares me most. Sydney Powell properly referred to them as the three-letter federal agencies. How can it be that we went from admiration and trust for…


Honoring All Our Heroes

With Memorial Day approaching, it’s a good time to honor our fallen heroes as well as our current day ones. Our heroes fought shoulder-to-shoulder with every color and every religion to abolish slavery in the Civil War. They fought Nazi Germany to save the Jews. Some Christians even hid Jews, putting their own lives in…


Armed Forces Day Tribute

The third Saturday of May is set aside to remember our military heroes. Armed Forces Day is in honor of all our men and women in the military, past, and present. I wrote the following to pay tribute to them. From the town square in Concord, Mass., when a patriot shouted out, freedom begins here,…


Looking Behind the Woke Curtain

My son is currently working hard to finish a 15-page paper that is a requirement for his high school language arts class. Imagine if at the end of the school year the teacher announced that in the coming years the 15-page assignment will be changed to only a 10-page essay because they are expecting five…


My Opinions

I read with interest the letters in The Readers’ Turn and I am impressed by the good intentions of the fair-minded people. There are articles covering almost everything in the government that requires our attention: People in the present administration like John Kerry consulting with enemies during the Trump administration, Hunter Biden in business with…


A Mom’s Research

In her well-researched opinion [“A Mom’s Research: Why Are Many Elites Leftists?” in the May 5–11 edition], Jean Chen spotlights much of the corruption extant in American politics circa 2021, and historically, what was directly responsible for the plight of what remains of the American Republic—from the radical Woodrow Wilson “Progressive” era that foisted the…
