Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Children are born with an amazing capacity for learning. Through observation, exploration and mimicry infants are able to decode human behavior.

Mastering the …
This is Part A of the second installment of a series on Our Great U.S. Culture War.

The Biden 2024 candidate has a disadvantage that the Biden 2020 candidate didn’t have – a record of executive leadership.
Last week, in case you missed it, was “Ethics in Journalism Week,” sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists. As a journalist and a member of the SPJ myself, I naturally visited the SPJ’s website to see how it was commemorating this occasion.

We reported on Wednesday about the terrible job that Philadelphia’s Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw has done, not on the crime numbers, though those are certainly important, but on managing and leading the Department.
