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…


Jean Chen’s Article

The article “A Mom’s Research: Why Are Many Elites Leftists?” published in the May 5–11, 2021, edition of The Epoch Times is excellent and well-worth reading, and should be read by every American. Thank you, Jean, for your honest research and for bringing this information to light. I have sent your article to many people…


Good News Section

Thank you for putting the good news section [“Inspiring News”] summary at the top of the home page. It is nice to value good role models over bad, and to set the tone for what is normal, or at least should be, in our lives. But may I make a small suggestion for making it…


Economy

It is important to me that all Americans pay serious attention to a very important recent development in the world of politics. It appears to me that there have been many well-respected and well-admired ECONOMISTS, some of whom are conservative Republicans and some of whom are liberal/progressive Democrats (which I happen to be) who have…
