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…

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”…

Happy Birthday to the American Flag, which was first flown in 1777. Many folks these days are trying to replace it with other, more trendy, and more so-called relevant flags. But our flag, “Old Glory,” will never go out of style. In my mind, it only takes three colors to make a rainbow. George Washington…

Jen Psaki in August said White House staff were not required to be vaccinated. So, the vaccine’s biggest cheerleader thinks it’s okay to order vaccination for military, hospital, and college folks, but not for his own staff? Huh? Vaccinated people quarantine for 10 days. Unvaccinated people must quarantine for 14 days. Does the length of…

The Biden administration promised to bring every American home. They failed. They broke a long-standing creed of honor from our U.S. military, never leaving a man behind. Biden broke his promise and left Americans behind in Afghanistan. Biden left thousands of Americans and our Afghan allies with green cards to fend for themselves. God help…

Thank you for your outstanding columns regarding the dissemination of propaganda in America’s public schools and universities. Like many, I’ve been frustrated by the dumbing down of courses in the humanities and social sciences over the past few years. Obviously, the morally bankrupt “woke” agenda has spread its tentacles into far more than just academia….

These days you’re an “anti-vaxxer” if you have not been vaccinated and you’re a “mad-vaxxer” for wanting everyone vaccinated. But survivors of COVID now know they have robust, and perhaps, even better immunization to COVID than those vaccinated. There are also those who have health conditions causing them to pause before vaccinating. Neither group of…

The left is calling people racists, killers, and horrible traitors if they do not join them in forcing masks upon everyone. Their unions, especially the teachers’ unions, are supporting the efforts to mask all our children when they know little about what that will do to their social and psychological development. I ask people to…

When I was a young lieutenant sitting alert on an F-4 Phantom in West Germany in the mid-’70s, waiting for the signal to go bomb a target in response to an attack by Russian forces from Communist Eastern Europe, I figured the chances of returning would be slim, assuming there was an airbase left to…

One thing we are all in agreement on is we are weary of COVID. Dr. Fauci is in favor of the monoclonal antibody treatment and has estimated 85 percent of hospitalizations and death could be prevented with this remedy. The State of Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis, has already administered more than 10,000 doses in…
