American Valor Day

On Monday, Sept. 6, we will celebrate Labor Day, a day that recognizes the American worker who performs everyday tasks that keep the blood pumping through the heart of this great democracy. The American worker ignites the energy that powers this nation forward, from the postal worker who delivers your mail to the clerk at…


America’s Past Greatness

Saturday, Aug. 14, 2021, was the 76th anniversary of the surrender of Japan on the dock of the battleship Missouri. It happened in large part because America was the strongest economic power in the free world, and only entered the war after Japan bombed our fleet in Hawaii.  Admiral Yamamoto reportedly said (or wrote in…


Response to ‘Left and Right Should Unite to Stop Censorship’

When I read “A Big Compliment to Naomi Wolf and Lori Roman” by Sharon Hendrickson in the Aug. 11–17 Opinion section [in “The Readers’ Turn”], I couldn’t help but wonder if everyone is missing the point. The title of Wolf and Roman’s article in the Opinion section of the July 28–Aug. 3 issue states their…


‘Concerns Surround IMF Plan to Flood World With Liquidity’ by Alex Newman

Thank you for your outstanding efforts to keep us better informed about critical issues facing our great country! The article by Alex Newman in your July 21–27, 2021, issue concerning the planned issuance by the International Monetary Fund of $650 BILLION in so-called special drawing rights (SDRs) was informative, alarming, and disheartening. We should all…


China Laboratory Unleashed the Pandemic

I agree with some of the members of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee who recently reported the COVID-19 virus was leaked from the experimental virus laboratory in Wuhan, China. Communist China exported the COVID-19 virus to the United States and the rest of the world, and it is primarily responsible for the millions of…


I’m an American

“Are you a Republican?” she asked. “No,” I replied. “Are you a Democrat?” “No.” “Then what are you?” “I’m an American.”   Steve Lurie Illinois


Climate Change

Regrettably, the IPCC’s latest report missed the most important point—that China, India, Russia, and many other developing nations have zero intention of taking any meaningful action on climate change and that these third-world countries fully control our planet’s future. On March 2, 2021, António Guterres, secretary-general of the U.N., insisted that all coal projects worldwide…


Liberal Censorship

I second the opinion of John Alexander printed in the July 28, 2021, Readers’ Turn section [“Liberal Narrative’s Fine Print”].  There are few outlets for conservative opinion that aren’t subject to liberal censorship. The Epoch Times is one of those few. Unfortunately, it preaches to the choir. The people that most need to hear what…


Evictions = CRIME

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Oh Terrible Republican & Democrat politicians, but several people I know said that, if they are evicted (and since there is no “supply” to the “demand” for affordable housing) … they will commit a crime to go to jail for “3 hots and a cot” (and full…


A Big Compliment to Naomi Wolf and Lori Roman

Please allow me to offer a big compliment to the two co-authors of your recent article about Social Media censorship [“Left and Right Should Unite to Stop Censorship” by Naomi Wolf and Lori Roman, published in the July 28–Aug. 3 edition]. It has been a component of my anxiety and depression for quite a while…
