Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
No, I didn’t misspell the word in the title: the spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. I use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias. I have noted, many times, that black lives …
In case anyone was wondering what former CNN host Chris Cuomo has been up to since he was fired last December, according to a scoop from The Daily Beast, he considered becoming a volunteer firefighter with the East Hampton (New York) Fire Department earlier this year.

Having spent thirteen years as an administrator (department head & dean) at the University of Illinois, I learned early on how heavy-handed academia can be when it comes to practicing political correctness on campus. The First Amendment right of free speech is too often denied to students and faculty who don’t support or adhere to …
Remember how getting rid of the evil Donald Trump and putting the adult Joe Biden in charge would greatly lift respect for the United States abroad?

I have never studied advanced human interactions, sociology, or psychology. I am an engineer; I attempt to understand the science. I can run a nuclear reactor, design a robotic system, and clean water removing whatever is the issue. I am a reader, an avid reader. It is difficult for me to footnote opinion pieces because my opinions have formed …

Who was John Wayne. Marion Robert Morrison. John Wayne. He was an idea. In most of his movies, he portrayed a gruff and tough hero. The Searchers. The Sands of Iwo Jima. The original True Grit. Great movies, all. He was a man of honor who had his struggles. He was tough as nails, but …
Have you ever watched as Democrats reciting the pledge of Allegiance omit the words “Under God”? Of all the ways that the Pledge of Allegiance could have been misstated, the only one that I can recall through my life is that particular attack, the removal of the words “Under God”. Why is that?
“…we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”, Barack Hussein Obama, October 2008
The liberal media has been moving away from the practice of journalism for years. Once Donald Trump arrived on the scene, it was abandoned altogether. The media collectively embraced activism. And the New York Times has led the way. The extraordinary power of the Times to not only influence events, but to shape events, cannot …
My husband grew up in Florida and I grew up in Mississippi. We met in Georgia when we were both “early middle-aged,” and shortly thereafter, we retired and moved to Alabama. We are often asked why the heck we moved to the Cotton State. After all, the word “Alabama” is usually prefaced by …

In reviewing Mitt’s article, I was to the point of exasperation, wondering how even an unprincipled fool could be so clueless. And then Mitt gave away the joke. It was a satire — at least I hope so.

Minneapolis police officers tasked with executing a search warrant in a lawless St. Paul neighborhood last week were met by a small group of angry toddlers on a street corner.

When I was a kid, I remember watching the 1984 movie “Revenge of the Nerds” and laughing at the ridiculousness of it. I understood it on a kid’s level as a comedy. A few years ago, I re-watched it and understood it on a different & deeper level. I saw understood it as two factions: …
Few companies have embraced wokeness with as much zeal as Disney. The company has leaped headlong into America’s culture war to become one of the most activist corporations in the U.S. Disney management’s public battle with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the state’s “Parental Rights in Education” bill – which critics disingenuously call the “Don’t …
