Assault on the Freedoms of the USA

It used to be that the average citizen went to work each day, and it was hard work. This hard work was fueled by the need to provide housing, food, medical, and recreation. But it was also fueled by pride and refusing a handout and standing on one’s own two feet. What happened to that…


The Big Green Lie, May 12–18

Although I read three newspapers, none has published a negative opinion about climate change until you surprised me with Mark Hendrickson’s column (“The Big Green Lie,” published May 12 in the NY print edition). I agreed with everything he wrote but was mildly disappointed that he really offered no reason why the planet is warming….


Brave New World or Stupid New World

Some thoughts on “online” buying versus “brick and mortar” shopping. Online is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Aren’t we spoiled? Just got one bottle of a particular hairspray for my wife from Amazon. It’s hard to find it elsewhere. Online has taken over sanity. The item shows up in a 9-by-12 cardboard box with plastic…


Your Heart Will Make the Choice

The Bread Loaf School of English, affiliated with Middlebury College, in Vermont, offers a post-graduate summer program which, when successfully completed, leads to a master’s degree in English. A beautiful feature of the school is its barn. I clearly recall spending many hours quietly reading and sometimes playing the piano in the barn when I…


Our American Flad

I’m going to take you on a historical journey back to the birth of our beloved stars and stripes. First, I must dispel a myth. Betsy Ross did not sew the first American flag. The first American flag was designed by George Washington in 1776 to mark the start of the Continental Army. The flag…


Letter to The Reader’s Turn

I never cease to be amazed at the intelligence and ability of many Americans, and with the advent of The Epoch Times and the letters from readers’ pages, I am more impressed than ever. Being an immigrant of over 54 years and having worked in industry here, I have experienced many changes in all facets…


This Audit Farce Must Stop If We Want Our Vote to Count in Arizona

It is really getting old, being forced to constantly justify having doubts about the election. The people who say an audit will jeopardize our vote and is fraudulent are the same ones that forced us to put up with a four-year investigation of the 2016 election. Are we wrong to have our doubts? Obama received…


Why States Have Begun to Wisely Ban Critical Race Theory

While the Biden administration is pushing critical race theory (CRT) on federal employees, the military, and in our schools, states are passing legislation to ban it from being taught in their public schools. CRT rejects both colorblindness and meritocracy as illusions that allow Whites to perpetuate their cultural dominance. Those who believe in colorblindness and…


The All-Out Assault on Small Businesses

Thousands of small businesses are attempting to come back after a very difficult year because of COVID. Restaurants, and businesses in fitness, service, and entertainment were particularly hurt the most. Online businesses like Amazon did great with record sales. Big box stores like Wal-Mart did very well. But small businesses faced arduous restrictions by governors…


Federal Government Spending Craze

The Biden administration along with Congress is on a spending craze that will continue annual deficits of over $1 trillion. The $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill enacted in March and the previous COVID-19 stimulus bill in 2020 were necessary to combat the adverse impact of the pandemic. The $2.2 trillion infrastructure program proposed by the…
