My father was a member of what has come to be known as “The Greatest Generation.” Born in 1918 into a large Catholic family in central Minnesota, he had four sisters and was the eldest of four boys. Dad grew up on a small farm and, as the oldest son, he bore the brunt of…
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 $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…
Honoring Our Fallen
Memorial Day is an essential reminder to all that throughout America’s history there can be no freedom without the shedding of blood. Memorial Day is intended to be a day of national mourning to honor the memory of our valiant dead who made their bodies a wall between our country and pure evil. All across…

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….
