Jeff Minick is a joy to read and a blessing to learn from. So, I was surprised to see that he went a bit off his premise when he chose examples of male rites of passage [“Rediscovering a Lost Tradition: Male Rites of Passage,” published in the May 19 edition]. Jeff certainly is correct in…
Aiding the Enemy
As a young infantry soldier in the Korean War, I fought directly against the communist Chinese army. As an army aviator, I fought against communists again during the Vietnam War. Even after the wars on the battlefield ended, the countries ruled by communist dictators have been our enemies. Communist China has continued to be our…
Xi Calls for Bolstering the CCP’s Image on Global Media
As international pressure mounts on China, Chinese leader Xi Jinping is pushing for a media campaign to boost the image of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the global community.

Letter to The Reader’s Turn
I never cease to be amazed at the intelligence and ability of many Americans, and with the advent of The Epoch Times and the letters from readers’ pages, I am more impressed than ever. Being an immigrant of over 54 years and having worked in industry here, I have experienced many changes in all facets…
This Audit Farce Must Stop If We Want Our Vote to Count in Arizona
It is really getting old, being forced to constantly justify having doubts about the election. The people who say an audit will jeopardize our vote and is fraudulent are the same ones that forced us to put up with a four-year investigation of the 2016 election. Are we wrong to have our doubts? Obama received…
Why States Have Begun to Wisely Ban Critical Race Theory

CRT rejects both colorblindness and meritocracy as illusions that allow Whites to perpetuate their cultural dominance. Those who believe in colorblindness and…
The All-Out Assault on Small Businesses
Thousands of small businesses are attempting to come back after a very difficult year because of COVID. Restaurants, and businesses in fitness, service, and entertainment were particularly hurt the most. Online businesses like Amazon did great with record sales. Big box stores like Wal-Mart did very well. But small businesses faced arduous restrictions by governors…
Federal Government Spending Craze
The Biden administration along with Congress is on a spending craze that will continue annual deficits of over $1 trillion. The $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill enacted in March and the previous COVID-19 stimulus bill in 2020 were necessary to combat the adverse impact of the pandemic. The $2.2 trillion infrastructure program proposed by the…
Infrastructure
President Biden’s proposed $2.3 trillion infrastructure program would be spent over eight years. It includes $85 billion that would go toward transit. Key components are $55 billion for transit state of good repair, $25 billion for transit expansion, and $5 billion for Americans With Disabilities Act implementation. Democrats also provide $21 billion for safety, $25…
Awakened
My ears are overflowing with the improper use of the word “woke” from all sides. If we continue to use this word in its slang context, we are validating its place in society and the philosophy that follows. We have a duty to stop unconsciously legitimizing an ideology that sows hate, deceit, and inaccuracies—particularly one…
