Trump can give US a course correction

The past two and a half years under the Biden Administration have been damaging to our nation’s national security, economic strength, and public safety. Since the Biden Administration took office, they had the U.S. give up in Afghanistan, which caused the loss of American lives and resulted in leaving behind $80 billion in American military equipment that is now being used by the Taliban. This disgraceful episode in American history sent a message to every potential adversary in the world, including China, that the Biden Administration has no interest in maintaining the United ...

ESG, net-zero policies and a more expensive Fourth of July

July 4th is almost here. It’s time to celebrate freedom, independence, and America’s birthday with new environmental, social, governance (ESG) policies and federal regulations to make your hot dogs, hamburgers, and backyard fireworks more expensive. Ironically, just as Americans gather to remember our declared independence from King George’s overreach, the Biden administration will be embracing new European-style climate-control rules that have proven just as tyrannical. Under President Biden’s proposed rule, U.S. companies must issue annual ESG reports for shareholders. The ...

Stand up to the teachers’ unions

By following through on his campaign commitments to expand school choice, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro can distinguish himself from other elected officials cowed by the teachers’ unions, according to education policy analysts. But he only has a few weeks to make good on his pledge to increase the supply of scholarship funds available to students in failing schools since lawmakers will potentially finalize the 2022–23 budget on June 30th. If Shapiro can persuade some of his fellow Democrats to embrace school choice initiatives as part of the ongoing budget negotiations, he could ...

‘COVID sense’ — a mix of common sense, sense of responsibility

A few weeks ago, on a morning warm and sunny and not yet impacted by the smoky wrath of the Canadian wildfires, I sat on our outside steps, enjoying the beautiful breeze, when out of the blue my left ear suddenly began to ache. It wasn’t a minor ache — this had attitude, and unlike previous aches, was in for the duration. By evening the pain had intensified to the point where it had made itself known and was not going to let me forget it. Eventually I developed an aggressive tickle cough, which led to a sore throat, and ultimately fatigue, as the combination of these symptoms ...

Donald Trump and ‘Russia Russia Russia: No collusion’

Donald Trump has consistently denied colluding with the Russians during the 2016 campaign. From all we know right now, no one can prove that’s not the truth. So as we continue to vivisect the 2016 Presidential election, let’s accept what he is saying about this subject as true, and just confine our examination to what we know the Russians did during the 2016 elections and what former President Trump did in response. To me, the argument that Donald Trump did not collude with the Russians is like the argument of a husband trying to make up with his wife after she finds out he “has ...

Speech ultimately a reminder that ‘hypocrisy is the mother of all evil’

“Hypocrisy is the mother of all evil and racial prejudice is still her favorite child.” Don King. What is remarkable about hypocrisy, and perhaps people in general, is that anyone can be a hypocrite and all people are capable of bigotry. It is not just the majority that can be guilty of racial prejudice. Just like disease can affect all people regardless of race, color, origin, or any other trait, the disease of hate can be disseminated by a variety of disagreeable, irrational, and repugnant people. Just such a person gave the commencement address recently at the law school of ...
