The Virus We Have

So we have this virus. It has gripped much of the world. It has killed countless people of all ages. It has destroyed economies, businesses, people’s self-esteem, and pride. It has restricted the movement and freedom of countless people. It has resulted in ridiculous inconsistent mandates and rules of restriction. It has forced many people…


Man’s Lies Versus God’s Truth

There is a lot of ignorance masquerading as truth today. Here are the lies: Humanity is progressing and God is irrelevant. Moral truth is subjective to whatever I say it is. Crime and poverty are due to white male capitalist Christianity. America’s founding was based on oppression and corruption. Government must take precedence over parenting….


Activism Gone Rouge

At one time in our history, activism was defined as vigorous acts taken in support of a cause through peaceful and legal means. Today, by most counts, activism has been reduced to a rite of passage for criminals to undertake acts of looting, attacks on law enforcement, and the destruction of property. Activism guided by…


Totalitarianism!

The impact of the Rittenhouse issue is not the young man, the criminals he shot (killed), the riot itself, the lack of law enforcement, or any petty charge surmounted by the prosecution. It is the fact a gun was used to protect a law-abiding citizen in the exact manner for which that weapon was designed….


A Mom’s Research (Part 6)

Thank you, “Mom” Chen, for another well-assembled, truth-soaked article about the transgender craze that’s threatening us and our kids [“A Mom’s Research: Staying Steady in the Swirl of Transgenderism” by Jean Chen, published in the Nov. 10–Nov. 16 edition]. “Mom” sparked a few further thoughts to consider as we hunt for answers to combat the…


Is Anyone Else Very Concerned?

My worry and concerns are for OUR country. Never in my 60-plus years have I ever seen us so divided, and the primary cause for that is the media. There are no “NEWS” broadcasts any longer, but rather cheerleaders from both sides, and then on Sunday, Nov. 17, I read a teacher was quitting because…


Old Films and Vaudeville

I love your newspaper and with my print subscription, I read it cover to cover every week.   Many thanks for always having such great articles on old movies and vaudeville and such. I am particularly struck by the article from Ms. Brannan on the 1941 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde [published in the Nov. 10–16…


I Get to Keep My Job!

I was absolutely thrilled to learn today that the courts upheld the “stay” on the Biden vaccine mandate. Then imagine how I felt when I read the OSHA has backed down from mandates also. I get to keep my job. You see, I am a 61-year-old, single, white, truck driver, oh yeah, did I mention…


Hoodwinking

For years, the conservative movement has been lecturing the leftist liberals as to the wrongness of abortion. They’ve tried to point out the injustice of killing innocent human embryos based on moral arguments primarily, wrongly assuming that the left has a moral code beyond politically correct speech. As the infamous Roe vs. Wade decision allowing…


Do Something. Do Anything.

About a year or so ago, I wrote a letter to The Epoch Times editor titled “Why SpaceX and Elon Musk Are the Right Stuff.” Shortly thereafter, I was contacted by a gentleman who I will call Mr. G. The subject line was “Contact with a Kindred Spirit.” That certainly caught my attention. According to…
