The Death of Free Expression and Academic Freedom on College Campuses
Universities are supposed to be places where you are exposed to a broad array of ideas, philosophies, and opinions. Sadly in America, they aren’t.

Kennedy vs. Biden in 2024?
When I read that Kennedy would officially announce his candidacy in opposition to incumbent Joe Biden later this month, I began doing a little research on him.
Communists Seize Control of Chicago
It shouldn’t surprise anybody that a communist who wants to defund the police and introduce a bundle of new taxes aimed at the city’s dwindling business community just won the mayoral run-off election in Chicago. After all, Chicago is the city where the Communist Party of America was founded in 1919 by Socialist Party members …
Welcome to the United States-World’s Newest Banana Republic
America has become the same kind of banana republic, corrupt autocracy that I reported on a few decades ago in places like El Salvador, Nicaragua & Mexico.
Women as Infantry Grunts. Why?
Too many of the role models for boys today are weenies, wimps and totally unfit to defend our great nation–and that’s perfectly okay with the woke mob.
Why Do the Mainstream Media Support Censorship?
Why Do the Mainstream Media Support Censorship? It’s a question I have struggled with since it began to happen during the Obama administration. I watched the media erect a shield around President Obama to protect him from tough questions that might embarrass his administration. Then, during the 2020 presidential election, the media recreated that media …
Almost 80 Percent of American Men Unfit for Military Duty: DOD
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 …
Journalistic Anarchy-Top Journalists Want an End to Objective Reporting
I spent nearly 30 years of my life working as a journalist. It was an honor to be a member of what some have called The Fourth Estate. We are now in an era of journalistic anarchy.
“Given ’em Hell Harry:” Reflections on Plain Speaking President Harry S Truman
Harry S. Truman is one of my favorite presidents. And I’m not even a Democrat. So why, then, is “give ‘em hell” Harry one of my favorite presidents?
Inconvenient Truths about Slavery & Reparations in America
A committee in San Francisco just released a proposal for reparations that includes a one-time payment of $5 million to each eligible Black resident.
It’s 2023; Time to Challenge Incessant COVID Lies
It’s now time to challenge the incessant COVID lies promulgated by government, its media lackeys and a corrupt medical establishment.
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. Watch movies, TV series, and television commercials critically for a few days. Look …
A Lesson on Gun Control from Wounded Knee
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 …
The Disastrous Eclipse of American Power
Our insane, self-destructive behavior and our seemingly irreparable discord and acrimony are bringing America to her knees.
Joe Biden’s Curious Love Affair with 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?
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 …
Are We Becoming Like Nazi Germany?
People refuse to believe that what happened in pre-world War Two, Nazi Germany couldn’t happen here in these United States.
Two Tales about the Catastrophe called Socialism
We hear a lot today about the alleged advantages of socialism over the capitalist system that has been the engine of wealth in the United States and the world.
