Raising the debt ceiling vote in Congress was the most uncaring and most harmful grandstanding of public trust seen in recent times. Congress was not looking out for the people who voted for them, they were more interested in themselves. The members of Congress know the money that was appropriated for Afghanistan (totaling BILLIONS of…
I Used to Think a MILLION Was a Lot!
I am writing about something that is food for thought. We turn on the news, and a term that I have not heard used frequently, in the last 74 years of my life, is being tossed around, like a football! The term that I am referring to is “TRILLION.” Most common folks don’t ever deal…
Parents Should Be Grateful to BLM
It has always been puzzling why our public schools have had such disdain for the parents whom they are supposed to serve. Not only are parents paying the salaries (and pensions) of the teachers and school administrators in their communities, but public schools were established to operate in loco parentis and, at least in theory,…
Mask Mandates
The article [“Mask Up or Shut Down: Colorado School Given Ultimatum Over Mask Mandate” by Steven Kovac, published in the Sept. 29 edition] is another of the countless examples of how a heavy-handed government will use any excuse available to strip us of our God-given rights and turn us into manageable serfs. Real science shows…
Psyops
Referring to the opinion of Kenneth Vasquez from California [in the Sept. 22 edition of “The Readers’ Turn”]: Kenneth wrote an excellent piece on vaccine mandates. Briefly, he goes into the why of the vaccine mandates and how the government flip-flopped from mask-wearing to no mask-wearing to double mask-wearing. Also, [they said that by] getting…
Illegal Immigration’s ‘Root Causes’
It’s almost amusing (I say “almost”) to see our vice president, our supposed southern border czar, running around seeking the “root causes” of the massive breach on our southern border by thousands of Third World migrants when it is right there under her own feet in her office—and that of her pitiful boss in the…
Congressional Voting Regulations
Presently, our citizens are witnessing Congress trying to pass a 2,400-page, multitrillion-dollar bill. There is no way that every voting congressional member has read and understands everything that is in that bill. In order to vote on any legislation, the congressional voters should have to pass a test indicating that they know and understand what…
What Have We Done?
Our government represents the people who elect it. We are being led by an obtuse, immoral government. What does that say about the electorate? The Biden government has aided and abetted the terrorists who attacked our country! They embrace criminals while ignoring the rights of victims. They cause destruction rather than create good. Thanks to…
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’s Lesson on Individualism
In 1964, NBC aired what would become one of the most beloved Christmas TV specials that has withstood the test of time with incredible stop-motion animation, sets, and colourful characters, all having been enjoyed by generations. The story and one song in particular, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” teach us about how being an individualist and…
Knee-Jerk Denialism About the Misery of Our Children
I am still in the process of getting to know my students this year. The first quarter just ended. My classes are large. And being a California high school teacher, every human being I ever encounter on campus is, of course, perpetually masked up. Still, the students know that I am the teacher who just…
