Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.

In its decision to reject President Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship by ruling that he does not have the power to unilaterally overturn the longstanding principle that guarantees citizenship to all children born in the United States, the Supreme Court is sanctioning the nation’s path to self-annihilation.
In the 1960s, when I joined the U.S. Army, the communists that we opposed were in places like North Korea, China, the Soviet Union, Cuba, and, of course, Vietnam. That is no longer the case. Today, the communists we were once trained to kill are here within our borders, not “over there.”
Here’s a question for you: Can a nation so bitterly divided reunite and enjoy its 250th birthday this July 4th? Is patriotism in America dead—a quaint relic of another time when Americans (both Democrat and Republican) were proud of their country?
I have often heard the phrase: “Democrats hate our country.” Somehow, it always seemed a bit too imprecise and all-encompassing to condemn an entire political party for having such an unpatriotic conviction. After all, my parents and most of my family were Democrats, and I know they loved their country. I personally know other Democrats …
As ballots in California’s “jungle primary” continue to dribble in, it appears that incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and L.A. City Council member Nithya Raman will be battling it out in November for mayor of the City of Angels. Why Bass and Raman? Blame California’s ludicrous jungle primary, in which the two top vote-getters, …
A new Department of Labor report on men found that the American labor force is missing about 7 million men who would otherwise be working. This means close to one-third of all men of working age are not included in the labor force.
American Indians in their winter camp at Wounded Knee, were murdered on Dec. 29, 1891, by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms “for their own safety and protection.”
I am not optimistic about today’s independent media. Most of its practitioners are untrained amateurs who lack the basic reportorial skills to gather accurate, fair, and balanced information.
Writing about race and the rapidly shifting racial complexion and composition of America is a dangerous exercise. No matter how you discuss it or describe it, if you are white, you are almost certain to be called a racist by easily triggered leftists who prefer that you keep silent
I have never believed the leftist maxim that insists diversity is “our strength.” Instead, I see it as divisive, with our nation being split into cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, and political tribes who are essentially at war with one another.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas delivered an insightful and important speech at the University of Texas recently that I wish every American could have heard.
Several months ago, I sent a note to Caroline Hendrie, Executive Director of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), the 117-year-old organization that focuses on journalism ethics, defending the First Amendment, and providing professional development for both legacy and independent journalists. I have been a member of SPJ for more than 50 years, since I …
Those of us who live in this mismanaged, Democrat-ruled dung-show are keenly aware that Gov. “Hair Gel” has already relentlessly trashed the “Golden State.”
March Madness is done. Monday night, the Michigan Wolverines held off the UConn Huskies for the NCAA basketball title, and college free agency, otherwise known as “The Transfer Portal,” is now open and active.
I thought I had seen the last of traitorous Americans cursing our soldiers or calling for them to be killed when the last American combat troops were pulled out of Vietnam following the 1973 Paris Peace Treaty. After the disgusting display by anti-American, pro-Iran thugs in Philadelphia and the perfidious “No Kings” protestors last weekend, it appears I was wrong.
There is hope for women’s sports—at last. The IOC just announced a new policy that excludes transgender men (biological males) from the female category at the Olympic Games.
So, here we were in America, playing a game invented by Americans that was once considered the “Great American Pastime,” and the American team was essentially the visiting team. In Miami. In America.
Recently, I heard the news that Iran may try to destroy California with its Shahed drones. I had to laugh at that. Aren’t the Iranians aware that Supreme Leader Gavin Newsom and his gang of socialist Democrats have already done that?
Author’s Note: (In June 2020, I posted the following column about Hong Kong. The reason for the post was that on May 22 of that year, China’s government in Beijing announced that it would allow mainland state security agencies to operate officially in Hong Kong, effectively allowing Beijing to impose national security laws on Hong …
The other day, I watched Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blathering on about recently fired Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noam. Jeffries was ecstatic. In fact, he seemed to be salivating as he tore into Noem’s damaged political carcass.
