The way they talk
Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News Host turned podcaster, is in the business of getting attention. This week, it worked. She got the attention of the President of the United States in her attack on fellow conservative talker Mark Levin, not to mention the support of fellow bomb thrower Marjorie …
Iran is losing. Why pretend otherwise?
Don’t fall for the propaganda. Iran is not holding its own in this conflict. It is being systematically dismantled. One by one, the senior figures of the Islamic Republic have been eliminated: generals, security chiefs and regime power brokers. The country’s leadership has been decapitated at the highest levels, leaving …
Reader challenges reparations, shares his view of tribal history
To the Editor: A previous writer had asked for comments regarding places and things still carrying native american names and also brought up reparations. Regarding the latter, I know more about the indians from the southwestern part of the country because that’s where I grew up.
The inexplicable war
Why are we there? Is it because Israel was going to go there first/anyway, or because we wanted Israel to go? What are we doing there? Did we really bomb a girls’ school? How could we have made such a mistake? How can we not take responsibility if we did?
