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…

I believe that today’s Democratic Party should change its name to “The Identitarian Party” because it has more and more become a collection of identity-groups who believe that the groups that they themselves happen to belong to and are a member of has been the most victimized and unjustly treated of all and should be…
