Time to Balance Racial History for Justice’s Sake

Selective history that omits salient facts—especially those involving diverse races—is nothing less than grave injustice. When race is involved, it is itself a form of racism. Sadly, this is true of the general narrative and teaching of A...

The left relentlessly racializes formerly race-neutral words

Jewish and Christian faiths agree about abominable acts

The crisis in Israel is horrific. What Hamas did and initiated is nothing less than a great evil. At the same time, what may also be called a great evil are the cheers and the justifying of horrendous evil by many Americans and others around the worl...

‘Pride’ Month is not license to resort to name-calling the faithful

All proposed reparations plans are based on simplistic history

Reparations to descendants of slaves is a complex issue and one burdened with pros and cons. Indeed, since slavery ended in 1865, many more cons than pros exist on the reparations ledger. Moreover, a Pew Research Center report finds that three-quarte...

What Thanksgiving is really about

Both the United States and Canada celebrate Thanksgiving Day. Though observed on different dates, in both countries it is an official day of national thanksgiving. I am unaware if any other countries observe such a day, one that is not tied to a spec...

Irresponsible media have the capacity to do terrible damage

The year 1943 was a good year for my family despite World War II. My father was a production troubleshooter for Curtis-Wright, McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft’s predecessor. He and my mother rented a house where my brother and I lived comfortably wi...

An Arab proverb for American political butchers

When I look at the January 6 committee, I am reminded of an Arab proverb that seems to sum up the unfair and unprincipled attacks against Donald Trump. One of the highlights of my life was living overseas, where I became friends with many people f...

All lives really do matter

The media and politicians are seeking to place illegitimate guilt on conservatives and Republicans for the heinous crime in Buffalo, New York, rather than on a mentally disturbed, hate-ridden, self-claimed leftist man.  By contrast, when an...

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch Vividly Illustrates The Media’s Downfall

Jussie Smollett's hateful hoax should itself be a crime

Do you see what I see? Do you hear what I hear?
