Opinion, Knowledge and Truth

Granted, our public education system leaves a lot to be desired, with their indoctrination practices, but everyone born in this country today has the opportunity to achieve their goals through perseverance, endurance, and self-education. This is what the American dream is all about. Achievement is a lifelong process that requires hard work and belief. “Tell…


Worker Vaccine Mandates

The White House is pushing vaccine mandates in any way possible. They claim it’s to keep us safe, but we are allowing large amounts of unvaccinated, unmasked, possibly infected people across the border, bringing with them new strains of coronavirus. At the same time, any mention of medicines that are working to help people already…


Washington and 9/11

The 20th anniversary of 9/11 memorializes the loss of “home” land security for the citizens of the United States. It was a gift of the wisdom and self-restraint of George Washington in that he created a constitution and a presidency that controlled the military, appointed ambassadors, and left us a template for a Pax Americana…


Victor David Hanson’s Military Oped

I enjoyed Victor David Hanson’s editorial[ “There’s a Problem in the Upper Reaches of Our Military,” published on Sept. 8,] and agree that there is something wrong with our military woke generals and admirals. After 40-plus years in the maritime field, in both the military and my own company, I see America as the Ship…


Climate Change by Nathan Worcester

Mr. Worcester’s discussion [in “The Statistical Method Used to Link Climate Change to Greenhouse Gases Challenged,” published on Sept. 8,] leaves out the defining evidence of the anomaly in the statistical analysis that Ross McKitrick has pointed out in the creation of the models. Of the 23 or so major models used by governments for…


Letter to the Editor: ‘You Can’t Comply Your Way Back to Freedom’

I seem to have been fortunate enough to stumble upon the latest vaccine shaming “copy and paste” post some people have decided to share on social media. If you’re vaccinated, good for you. If you’re not vaccinated, good for you. I honestly don’t care what you do with your body because the only person I…


Letter to the Editor: Vaccine Mandates for State Prison Employees

My name is Bernice Molano and I have been an employee of the state of California for five years. I work at a state prison that is currently attempting to mandate the EUA COVID-19 vaccine. I am fully aware of the recently “approved” vaccine, which in my research I determined is only for the Comirnaty…


Advice for Current and Future Generations

I am a 67-year-old with a curious mind and zest for life. I have an advanced degree and over 40 years of experience in a wide range of positions—from stock boy and shoe factory worker to investment vice president and a stint as an assistant professor of business. My best advice is to develop a…


Highly Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal and Evacuation

The United States believed the Afghan military would stand up to the Taliban, but over the years the Taliban has overcome Afghan forces in skirmishes in Afghanistan, and the Taliban showed its prowess when it conquered Afghanistan in the 90s. On July 13, 2021, a month before the Taliban overran Afghanistan, U.S. Embassy personnel sent…


COVID-19 Vaccination

I am referring to the Epoch Times Southern California article on Sept. 1–7, 2021, page 1, “California Nurses Seeking Exemptions Face Extreme Duress,” which I read with great interest. It is excellent that “Tom” is taking on this courageous and complicated task of sorting through the various hurdles that have been placed for gaining “exemptions”…
