HEIL BIDEN! Joe Does His Best Adolph Hitler Send-up
In all of my years as an American citizen, I had never witnessed an American president condemn half of the electorate as insurrectionists, fascists, and domestic terrorists. Then came Joe Biden’s political harangue last week. Paint a little black mustache on Biden’s face, employ wild hand gestures, and shout like ...

The Rise of Wokeness in the Military
As someone who spent four years on active duty with the U.S. Army Security Agency, I have been appalled at what is happening to America’s military. Not only are physical and mental requirements being “dumbed down” to accommodate recruits who would otherwise be rejected or discharged from service, but the ...

An Alarming Prediction
Today I am posting a commentary from political writer Gary Reece. His predictions are disquieting, but I fear he may be on target with them-especially because stumbling, bumbling, mumbling Joe Biden continues to attack and label some 75 million American voters—half of the nation’s electorate—”fascists” and domestic terrorists. An alarming ...

It’s tough enough to go into battle with a weapon. Imagine doing so without one! But that’s what Desmond Doss did during WW II. He was a conscientious objector and served as a medic during the Battle of Okinawa. His actions one day saved the lives of 75 of his ...

How Political Correctness & Cancel Culture are Destroying America (Part 3)
What would happen if the Political Correctness and Cancel Culture Fanatics decided to rewrite a few 19th Century fairy tales to make them more suitable to the pliable minds of children in the politically correct 21st Century? I shudder to think. But someone already has thought about this, and I ...

How Political Correctness & Cancel Culture are Destroying America (Part 2)
Vladimir Lenin, the man who in 1917 created the now-defunct one-party socialist state called The Soviet Union, understood how critical education is in molding pliant minds. “Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted,” he once said. Lenin knew that ...

How Political Correctness & Cancel Culture are Destroying America (Part 1)
A long time ago, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Kansas editor named William Allen White wrote an editorial in the Emporia Gazette entitled “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” In it, he railed against obtuse populist politicians and visionless citizens who he was convinced were running Kansas (my home state) into the ground. ...

A Personal Memory of Olivia Newton-John
When I learned that Olivia Newton-John had passed away at 73 Monday after a 30-year battle with breast cancer, my mind returned to January 29, 1990, when I had the privilege of meeting the renowned singer and spending a little time with her. Olivia Newton-John was in Tokyo for a ...
