The border crisis has reached New York City and Mayor Eric Adams isn’t too happy about it. “New York has been and will always be a city of immigrants that welcomes newcomers with open arms,” Adams said in a Tuesday statement. “These very same humanitarian values apply to those who are experiencing homelessness. In New York City, we have both a …
The Journolism of The Philadelphia Inquirer
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 …

Free Speech and Academic Freedom under Attack in Colleges & Universities
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 …
How Does Joe Biden Not Realize How Ridiculous This Looks?
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?

Hyphenated America
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.

Who was John Wayne? by Citizen Writer, Joe Heaton
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 …
America Not “Under God” is Not America
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?

When a Media Outlet Can Decide a Presidency Is Over, It Has Too Much Power
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 …
Sweet Home Alabama
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 …

Mitt Romney – Master Troll
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.
