Almost 80 Percent of American Men Unfit for Military Duty: DOD

Austin Milley

A new Department of Defense reports that almost 80 percent of American men between the ages of 17 and 24 are unfit for military service. When I saw that, I did a double-take. Eighty percent of American men are not fit for military service. Is that even possible? And then I thought about what has been …

“Dilbert” Bites the Dust in Hundreds of American Newspapers

I have been a fan of the Dilbert cartoon strip since it began syndication in hundreds of American newspapers back in 1989. The strip is a sassy but candid look into the management and machinations inside the walls of corporate America. Its lead character, Dilbert, is a hapless butt of management’s often inane and ill-fated …

How the Media are Brainwashing Us to Believe the “Woke New Normal”

There is an old maxim that goes: “Figures lie, and liars figure.” What follows is an excellent example of that adage. We are constantly bombarded by images, commentaries, and dodgy statistics about our nation that do not reflect demographic or social reality.

A Lesson on Gun Control from Wounded Knee

Gift From the Supreme Court

Recently I received an e-mail reminding me that December 29 will be the 131st Anniversary of the murder of 297 Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota…an abject example of the result of gun control. These Native Americans, in their winter camp, were murdered on Dec. 29, …

Are American Voters Uninformed or Simply Stupid?

During the Obama administration, MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, one of the chief architects of Obamacare, said the “stupidity of the American voter” and a “lack of media transparency” were critical to the passage of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Needless to say, Gruber’s comments ignited a firestorm of outrage. But was Gruber wrong when he …

Joe Biden’s Curious Love Affair with China

China

Most Americans would prefer to think of China as a friendly nation with a different political and economic perspective of the world. That’s certainly how the current occupant of the White House sees China—at least, that is what he says publicly. Privately, he may have other reasons for viewing China and its autocratic leader, Xi …

Is Hypocrisy the New Name of the Democrat Party?

Nancy Pelosi

As the nation prepares to vote in the upcoming midterm elections, I couldn’t help recalling a couple of years ago when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stormed around the Capitol building purging it of all things reminiscent of the Confederacy. That prompted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to wonder if Pelosi should consider changing the name …

The “dumbing down” of college means mediocre education without rigor

dumbing down of America

The other day a front-page story in the New York Times grabbed my attention like few others. The headline read:  “At N.Y.U., Students Were Failing Organic Chemistry. Who Was to Blame?.” The answer, readers learned, was not the students but the award-winning professor who taught the class. To quote the story: “In the field of …

How Political Correctness & Cancel Culture are Destroying America (Part 2)

Vladimir Lenin, the man who in 1917 created the now-defunct one-party socialist state called The Soviet Union, understood how critical education is in molding pliant minds. “Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted,” he once said. Lenin knew that planting the seeds of communist …

How Political Correctness & Cancel Culture are Destroying America (Part 1)

A long time ago, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Kansas editor named William Allen White wrote an editorial in the Emporia Gazette entitled “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” In it, he railed against obtuse populist politicians and visionless citizens who he was convinced were running Kansas (my home state) into the ground. If White were around today, …
