Canceling Thomas Jefferson ignores the facts
The New York Public Design Commission voted unanimously last week to remove a seven-foot-tall statue of the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. The statue, which has called city hall home since 1834 and has been in the New York City Council chambers for more than a century, was specifically intended to honor Mr. Jefferson's writing of the Declaration of Independence, a document that literally changed the world.

Biden’s America headed toward Third World status

Hungary official: Easier to deal with the Taliban than the Biden administration
Imagine a world in which people said what they really believed. I don't mean folks rudely disregarding others feelings and inflicting emotional pain and stress intentionally or needlessly, but rather that as part of a civil discussion everyone could dispense with political correctness.

Biden paves the way for his own removal
It is commonly accepted - even by the liberal media - that the U.S. exit from Afghanistan was a disaster. Hundreds of Americans were left behind.

No one on planet earth points to the American withdrawal as an example of strength or diplomatic precision. The opinion on this is virtually unanimous. Published September 29, 2021

Progressives tell America, let them eat cake
In socialist or communist countries, the rules deemed as law are applied to the masses, but those in positions of privilege choose to exempt themselves. So it is with modern-day liberals in America. Published August 13, 2021

Biden energy policies choking us all at the gas pump
If you ask trained, educated economists about the American economy, they will tell you a wide variety of indicators and theories on why they believe said economy is performing well or poorly. If you ask the average American about it instead, one single factor will affect their opinion perhaps more than any other. That factor is the price of gasoline. Published May 14, 2021
Electric vehicles: What’s the business plan?
Several years back, I had a close friend who approached me seeking help. She and a partner had started a business less than a year prior and it was doing poorly. She thought perhaps another set of eyes looking at the situation might help solve it. My first question to her was about projections in their business plan. She looked at me blankly. Business plan? There was no business plan. Published April 29, 2021
