What Can We Do?

Take full responsibility for ourselves and our families. No excuses. Resist asking the government for help, whether it is a grant, subsidy, waiver, exception as special privileges for our “special interests.” Write letters to news editors, our local legislatures, and Congress. Subscribe to The Epoch Times for excellent reporting, which includes a section clearly labeled…


Infrastructure, by Whom?

Thomas Jefferson, our third president, explained that infrastructure improvements could only be accomplished by the states. To change this, a constitutional convention would be needed, because, as James Madison said, the enumerated powers given to the national government did not include the ability to build things like roads and canals. James Polk, our 11th President,…


Kudos

I am intellectually and financially grateful for your superb overview (so user-friendly) of “Biden Admin’s $2.3 Trillion Infrastructure Plan” [published on April 7]. Whoever created the two-page layout guide is a genius. It is concise and your average astute readership can understand it all in this nucleus infographic. Impartial and factual! As always, kudos to…


China Saber-Rattling

There is a major concern, and with good reason, over the viable verbal, and now physical, threats to Taiwan by China. This has been a long time coming. China has been biding its time, waiting for the right opportunity when it perceives the United States as too weak or unwilling to engage in a war…


Racism

As former teachers and current property taxpayers in Goodyear, Arizona, we have an important stake in the education of our children. We entrust our children to the Litchfield Elementary School District and expect them to be educated in a positive, safe, nurturing, and reaffirming environment. We also expect that teachers will respect the values we…


Biden Fails Leadership Test

President Joe Biden has already earned a failing grade for his own initiatives. He refuses to accept responsibility for his failures and change course. He has been focusing on new initiatives that have nothing to do with the country’s needs. Economic recovery is not Biden’s top priority. His first priority is to retaliate against Trump’s…


The ‘El Cid’ President

I have heard friends and acquaintances opine that President Biden is senile and suffering from dementia and therefore unable to lead. But I recall the story of El Cid (Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar), the Spanish war hero who led his army to victory even after he was dead. The story goes that his corpse was…


Border Immoral Choices

From the information from the representatives who have actually gone down to our southern border, I conclude that we no longer have a border crisis. We have a moral crisis in this administration. It is immoral for people who have sworn to uphold the laws of this country to allow illegal actions at our southern…


‘No Amendment Is Absolute’: President Joe Biden

No law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; freedom of speech; freedom of the press; free peaceful assembly; ability to petition the government for redress of grievances; a well-regulated militia; the right to keep and bear arms not infringed; no quartering of soldiers in any house, without consent of the…


Are the ANZACs Still Willing to Pay the Price of Freedom?

Commentary Freedom of Speech, freedom to worship, to assemble, and to share ideas openly are the greatest prizes of Western Civilisation, envied by many other nations. These freedoms are the result of centuries of spiritual development and social struggle by people dedicated to push back the dark forces that inhabit the human soul. The spiritual…
