Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Ronald E. Yates 
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.
As many as 15-20 million illiterate and unskilled migrants invaded our nation during the horrendous four years of the Biden administration. Hundreds of thousands—possibly millions—of them were violent criminals, slackers looking for a welfare check, or extremists here to set up terrorist cells.
We are squandering our country’s wealth to accommodate 10-15 million unskilled, unvetted, third-world intruders who were invited to surge America’s open borders by Joe Biden and his duplicitous Democrat underlings.
What is the main opposition to requiring or teaching Western Civilization survey courses? Why is teaching the considerable and important political and social contributions Western civilization has made to the world a bad thing?
One day, perhaps 50 years from now, historians will look back on the years between 2020 and 2025 and conclude that America was a nation that chose to abandon common sense and reality
Not since slave-loving Democrats provoked the succession of Southern states from the Union have Democrats demonstrated such hatred for America, but that is exactly what is happening today in Minnesota and Minneapolis.
Were he alive today, there is little doubt that Minnesota Fats would be amazed and perhaps a bit envious of the $9 billion hustle currently in progress in his namesake, Minnesota—especially given the fact that the mainstream media seems content to ignore it entirely.
During a discussion in a journalism class I was teaching at the University of Illinois a few years ago, I posited the following question: What do you think has been the greatest, most impactful invention in the world during the past 1,000 years?
