The key component in the globalist bid for world government has been their transcending nation states into regional governments, ending national sovereignty, then later, these into a world government. North America must one day be a single country commonly referred to as the North American Union following the model they used for the European Union. Americans must […]

Gene Lyons: Too Old
Whenever I encounter words like “Boomer,” “GenXer,” and “Millennial” used to explain political behavior, it’s normally my practice to quit reading. Cant invariably follows. As anybody old enough to remember the Kennedy assassinations and the Vietnam War understands, so-called “Boomers” have been bitterly divided about every significant issue in American politics all their lives. So no, […]
David Shribman: Carter and Kennedy’s bitter battle for the presidential nomination in 1980
Nearly four decades ago, Washington and the political world were rocked by the audacious challenge that the star-crossed Sen. Edward M. Kennedy mounted against the incumbent president of his own party, the luckless Jimmy Carter. Law and lobby firms were ripped apart, family loyalties were torn asunder, cries of betrayal echoed across the capital, calls […]
Mel Gurtov: On China, the U.S. public stands apart
Why isn’t the American public as agitated about China as are the Trump administration, the mainstream media, and even many China specialists?

James Burns: A Walk in the Woods
I had gone for a walk in the woods but soon was lost. “This is odd,” I thought to myself, “I know these woods like the back of my hand.” I heard leaves crackling behind me and soon was joined by another man. “Lost?” he enquired. “Come walk with me.” “Why are you walking?” he […]

On the 35th day of the longest government shutdown in USA history, President Donald Trump came to his senses. Or he’s come up with another strategy to get federal funding for his Border Wall. February is here. What will happen if President Trump does not get his way again? Another wall brawl? Another Trumpian threat: […]
Susan Deschambault: Revitalizing Our Riverfront Communities
While it may be hard to envision walking by the water, enjoying the sun when we’ve been experiencing frigid weather for a few days this past week, I can’t help but think about how great it would be to see our downtowns booming and bustling even more come summertime. It was around this time last […]
Elections have consequences
Editor, Gordon Weil’s column “A lesson on picking Supreme Court justices” is very insightful and his conclusions have merit. In other words, I agree with him. However, I wish that he had mentioned Senator McConnell’s justification for blocking Merrick Garland’s nomination: “The Biden Rule.” When President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill the SCOTUS vacancy […]
Andy Young: Knowledgeable historians agree: February is fabulous!
Those of us fortunate enough to have been born in February have long known ours is the most significant of the twelve sections of the Gregorian calendar. Doubt it? Check out this tiny sampling of notable human beings who began life during the year’s second month. A mere quartet of America’s 45 presidents were born […]
