Meet My Friends

Fellow Americans, It is hard to know what to believe because of all the “fake news” and disinformation campaigns designed to hide the truth. That’s why I want to introduce you to some of my friends. Although I have never met them, I trust their judgment because of their real-world experience in...

Dear Editor

Over the years I have recalled statements which my father made in way of direction for my life. One of these was: “Treat the cause, not the symptom”. If one would examine the issues which face us today in this country, or in the world, we will find that many efforts are being implemented to...

The battle for America’s Soul

Our Decisions Matter
