  • Supreme Court Showdown on Censorship Ahead

    Supreme Court Showdown on Censorship Ahead3

    A staggering 99 percent of Twitter employees who make political contributions give to Democrats. It’s almost as lopsided at Facebook and Alphabet (the parent company of Google), according to Federal Election Commission records. Relying on these left-leaning tech platforms to be even-handed was always naive. But recent evidence—email correspondence between Big Tech executives and some

    Standing for Truth in Scaryville5

    Walking recently in the fast-gentrifying former mill-town section of Middle America in which I live, I spied yet another sign taped to a front window. “Anti-choice is NOT pro-life!” it read. “Yeah, pro-choice is pro-life,” I mutter under my breath as I pass. I’m no longer surprised by the signs I see in many windows

    Let’s have some fun just for a moment: Suppose you’re sitting on the deck overlooking your backyard, a cup of coffee in hand and the promise of a good day before you. It’s just after dawn, and the rising sun sheds its gentle glow over the yard and surrounding woods. You bask in contentment and

    It Ends as it Began: As a Political Ploy2

    The current U.S. president finally said it during a 60 Minutes interview: “The pandemic is over.” Though obviously true by the classical definition, Biden’s comment seemed almost accidental, said as an echoed response to a direct question.

    Saying Goodbye to Yesterday, Shaking Hands with Tomorrow6

    Most people I know have either read or seen Gone with the Wind. One of the underlying themes of that story, alluded to in the title, is the disappearance of the Old South, its economy and way of life destroyed, and often erased, by the Civil War and Reconstruction.

    Why So Many Cling to COVID Panic1

    When I was 10, I had a 12-year-old sister, Denise, and two brothers. Lenny was 14 and Danny was 5. We boys slept in the same room in a small, single-story house in a modest, riverside neighborhood known as Pleasureland.
