The integrity of elections is far more important than political personalities, and certainly bigger than the presidency itself.
The story of corruption in America is frighteningly bigger, transcending the immediacy of this election.
Corruption is on the 2020 ballot as it was in 2016, and Americans would be taking a wrong turn at a critical time if the Democratic Party gets rewarded for its gross law-breaking.
With critical race theory seeping its way into government agencies and all levels of society, the state of the nation could turn dire if it isn't stopped.
More and more Americans in denial are being forced to face the reality that their country is on the verge of being lost, with the barbarians not only inside the gates but driving policy for the rest of us.
President Trump paid tribute to George Washington when he recently delivered the 2020 convocation speech at West Point. While congratulating the cadet graduates and reminding the world of the success of his defense modernization program that gives the U.S. unchallenged superiority, Trump missed an opportunity to mention that Washington's "Farewell Address" was a warning to the nation that America's greatest threat would be internal, rather than external military incursions.
Memorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored those lost while fighting in the Civil War.
In prior times of war, crisis, suffering, and loss of life from causes outside the U.S., Americans of both parties would pull together and focus on what can be done to quickly help, alleviate, and solve the problem. No longer. The COVID-19 crisis provides us a window into our national social and spiritual health, and what we see from much of America's Left as expressed in the media and Democrat Party reveals a degree and strain of moral impoverishment we haven't seen before.
Who would have ever thought the United States could lose its way and find itself on a slippery slope to becoming a banana republic in which political power is typically determined by coups rather than elections? But it appears many in the Democratic Party are willing to go down this road and risk the nation's continuity and stability in a desperate effort to regain power and control.
Veteran's Day had its origin at the end of World War I in 1918, a conflict so horrendous that it was dubbed "the Great War" or "the war to end all wars," with the United States playing the decisive role in the Allied powers final victory.
With the constant drumbeat from the mainstream media, Democrats now hope that the whirlwind in Washington of the so-called impeachment investigation will spread so much smoke that people won't be able to see what's going on, except to subliminally conclude that with all that smoke around Donald Trump, there must be a fire, and that it'll die down with his removal from office.
The 50th anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival prompts many to reminisce about the extraordinary gathering of musical talent and idealism associated with that event. It more than lived up to its promotional billing as "three days of peace and music." Woodstock featured 32 of the most iconic artists in American music history, establishing a high point of outdoor concert music by assembling more talent in one place in front of more people than any prior or subsequent event.
Severing the present from the past and the rise of division and intolerance are probably the two greatest threats.
Movement on tariffs in the first round — with many more rounds to go in the long term.
U.S. negotiators should be patient and recognize the long-term advantages that our country has.
The United States and China are edging closer to finalizing a trade deal that should end the tariff penalties that are at the heart of a year-old trade war.
Presidents Day is unique among American holidays in providing the opportunity to remember and appreciate why George Washington and Abraham Lincoln — whose birthdays fall in February — were the two greatest U.S. presidents.
Martin Luther King Day is unique among American holidays in that it honors the one American who delivered the fulfillment of a core value expressed in the country's founding Declaration of Independence in 1776.
