The default condition of human beings from the beginning of time until 1787 was complete fealty to a greater authority. In various orders, there were kings, pharaohs, chiefs, warlords, princes, solons, emperors, senators, popes, sultans, viziers, and mullahs. Then, as mentioned, 1787 came along, and a government of the people, by the people, and for…

Critical race theory appears to be a religious-like activity that pits Black Victims against White Oppressors. It is an activity that has dogmatic positions, and dissent is not allowed. CRT also seems to largely benefit self-serving individuals seeking monetary reward and/or personal control. This simplistic approach is both illogical and divisive. There are too many…

In the June 9–15 edition of The Epoch Times, Jeff Minick wrote an article about Flag Day [“Break Out the Red, White, and Blue: June 14th Is Right Around the Corner”], but I believe that he did not tell the whole story. Like my mentor, Paul Harvey used to say, “This is the rest of…

Segregation is alive and well and rearing its ugly head in the public schools of America. As I write this, my district is conducting interviews—not for a new teacher to help instruct our children, not inspections of new curriculum to help support students (we have not had an English curriculum adoption in my 24 years…

If you have ever read any dystopian literature, then you have some idea where our government wants to take us. In a dystopian society, there is usually a group of privileged elites or a powerful global corporation in charge who controls every aspect of its citizens’ lives. Under this type of government, people no longer…

My heart is heavy for America, as I watch the Marxist communist ideology attempt to infiltrate nearly every aspect of our lives. From our military to our schools, to our TV shows and movies, we are under a constant barrage begging us to listen to lies. Lies about the founding of this great country, our…

A consistent storyline played out in some articles featured in the June 2–8, 2021, edition of The Epoch Times. Coincidence maybe, but I found a thread of similarity. One story [by Cara Ding] reports that “On Memorial Day, Parents Pass Down Patriotism at Wall Honoring Fallen Soldiers.” Another story [by Thalia Zhao] chronicles the story…

“Beware Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing Hunting Our Sheepdogs” [by Christopher C. Hull, published in the June 9–15 edition] was an interesting, informative, and alarming reflection on the plight of most police departments that are losing officers every day in the current attacks by the various “wolves.” I say “most” since the article, unfortunately, in my…

The opinion piece by Benjamin Weingarten [“11 Critical Questions Now That the Lab Leak Theory Is ‘Politically Correct,’” published in the June 2–8 edition] could have gone one baby step further with regard to “politically correct.” “Gain-of-function” in viral research ever seeks a resultant that is far more contagious and lethal than the native strain….

I enjoyed Ben Weingarten’s piece [“11 Critical Questions Now That the Lab Leak Theory Is ‘Politically Correct,’” published in the June 2–8 edition] posing 11 questions concerning the Wuhan lab leak. But he forgot Question No. 12: Should America be involved in gain-of-function research at all, given the inherent dangers and the uncertain benefits that…
