There is a lot of discussion around equity these days. Equality and equity can be vastly different. Equality refers to the value and worth of every person individually and their ability and right to be treated the same and have an equal opportunity, no matter what their race, gender, sexual preference, religion, etc. It’s what our country fought for in the Civil Rights movement and the women’s movement. Systemic laws like Jim Crow laws were outlawed. If you are a woman, the...
Last Friday, Noah Green, age 25, went on a rampage ramming his car into two Capitol police officers who he never met. Then he jumped out of his car with a knife and attacked them. He killed officer William “Billy” Evans and was killed himself. He knew what his fate would be that day. Green seemed to be a nice guy. He was good looking, successful in sports, educated with a degree in finance and part of a large family that cared about him and tried to care for him in the las...
Dr. Jim Meehan, a surgeon who has performed over 10,000 surgeries wearing a mask, recently wrote an op-ed where he explained the difference between surgeons wearing masks and the general public wearing masks for COVID-19. “The premise that surgeons wearing masks serves as evidence that ‘masks must work to prevent viral transmission’ is a logical fallacy that I would classify as an argument of false equivalence, or comparing ‘apples to oranges,’” Meehan said. “Although s...
I was surprised when President Joe Biden made the claim that Georgia’s election integrity laws “makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle.” What? Is election integrity racist? Then 100 woke CEOs met on a Zoom call to organize and fight election integrity while the MLB hurt mostly minority-owned small businesses in Atlanta by moving the All Star game to mostly White Denver. The irony, hypocrisy and idiocy just scream out in how to be an anti-racist. The CEO’s message is clear to othe...
The 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of professor Nicholas Meriwether in Meriwether v. The Trustees of Shawnee State University recently. Circuit Judge Amul Thapar wrote that not only had Meriwether's First Amendment rights been violated, but his religious rights as well in the free exercise clause. It is one lawsuit that has been watched as it relates to "compelled speech." Most Americans are probably oblivious to the term, but compelled speech has been hotly...
While our culture is in division and we are distracted with first world issues like canceling Mr. Potato Head, Pepe LePew and Dr. Suess, it is interesting to me the juxtaposition of having one of our top award shows, the Grammys, almost simultaneously showcasing women entertainers rolling all over on the floor while singing a song with words we can’t even print because it would be considered pornographic. While we are being ridiculous, creating race wars and infecting our c...
It’s been a big week for cancel culture. Six books by Dr. Seuss fell victim, as well as Mr. Potato Head (not sure about Mrs. Potato Head). Two members of Congress wrote a letter asking cable companies to cancel One American News Network, Newsmax and FOX news. Do we really want our politicians sanctioning news? Deciding which news is acceptable and which should be banned? Do we want to cancel everyone who is questioning or dissenting government and their actions? People are a...
Are we living in a culture of fear? What has happened to our American exceptionalism, our attitudes built on the wild west, rugged individualism, the culture of “we can do anything we put our minds to?” The society that courageously fought Communism, fascism and created a prosperous freedom-loving country to which people clammer to enter and bring their families? According to psychiatrist and medical-legal expert Dr. Mark McDonald, MD, we have become victims of a “de...
We are hearing stories locally about people going to the hospital with COVID-19 and being told to return home with no treatment. If they get worse, they return to the hospital for treatment. This is opposite of what many frontline doctors, after treating thousands of patients, are telling us is the best way to treat COVID-19 patients. A doctor friend of mine recently sent me an interview of another doctor in New York, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. Zelenko has boasted a near 100%...
From Jan. 25 through 29, Fallbrook STEM Academy students in grades K-6 participated in The Great Kindness Challenge with "The Club" senior daycare clients at the Foundation For Senior Care. According to Lauren Marsh, the Adult Day Care Administrator, the Great Kindness Challenge started in Carlsbad and is now worldwide. Foundation for Senior Care Director Patty Sargent said, "The Fallbrook STEM Academy asked us to participate in this unique program that is designed to create...
So as of press time on Tuesday, we are starting the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. My hope is that everyone will watch the proceedings in their entirety themselves and not watch one minute of nightly news. You don’t need anyone to interpret anything for you. Please just watch it yourself, despite what a waste of time it may seem. I understand that it is easier to be spoon fed someone’s interpretation or narrative on what is happening for a few min...
After watching the inauguration, I was interested and had a spark of hope to see how President Joe Biden was going to unify the nation. It made for a good speech, but in his first week he has taken 40 executive actions, which is more than any president in history. It is ironic after he said last year that to rule by executive order would be governing like a “dictator.” There is a place for executive actions, but it can be controversial because it cuts out the debate in the...
Mr. Egkan, this is a lot of ground to cover, but I want to give you the respect you deserve with answers. Your attempt to equate me or our news with QAnon or Alex Jones is just ridiculous on its face. As ridiculous as me equating you with postal employees who have gone "postal" just because you were a postal employee. I know very little about QAnon or Jones. Alternative facts You are right about "alternative facts," Both positions were not true. As I've outlined previously,...
Barry, you are saddened by the “shift to the extreme right” because of Dr. Veltmeyer’s four or five opinion pieces that ran last year? You see a problem with us running a doctor questioning the effectiveness of masks, but see no problem with us printing your pieces or dozens of John Terrell’s views? That is opinion and not news. Do you think the left leaning letters and op-eds we print are more important than the right leaning ones? Should we ban one or the other and not all... Full story
It was reported by The Washington Post that the “first wave of protesters arrived at the Capitol about 12:40 p.m.” They would have had to start their trek to the Capitol before Trump even started his speech. It is unlikely that Trump supporters would miss his speech since it was the reason everyone came to Washington to see and hear the president. The president concluded at 1:11 p.m. Then his people started the 45-minute walk with crowd-related delays. It put the first peo...
Despite the huge setbacks globally in 2020, I am hopeful for 2021. Mostly it’s because of my faith in our people. In America, we are blessed with a wonderfully diverse culture of individuals, including immigrants from other more oppressive countries who believe in our great experiment. One of our challenges leading up to 2020 was our level of prosperity and comfort, then we were hit with a virus that threw us for a loop. As Steven Pinker recently said, “Infectious disease is...
December 30, 2020 While many people in the U.S. complain that their president does not act like a politician, rightfully so, and in fact he is sometimes brash and rude and they don’t like the way he tweets, why are there such large pro-America, pro-Trump rallies in the U.S. of 10,000 to 50,000 people? Unless you are truly a middle-class person, or a “deplorable,” you may not understand it. He’s not only empowered the middle class, but he’s given people who believe in Americ... Full story
According to Pew Research, President Trump has granted clemency less frequently than any president in modern history. So far, Trump has pardoned or commuted sentences for a total of 49 people. A Nov. 24 Pew Research report noted, "As he enters the home stretch of his White House tenure, Donald Trump has used his clemency power less often than any president in modern history, according to data from the U.S. Department of Justice. Trump's sparse use of pardons, commutations and... Full story
After a complete and coordinated media blackout of news that might shed a negative light on the Biden Family and their documented ties to Ukraine, Russia, China, Iran, Khazikstan etc., by the New York Post until after the election. After Senate hearings with Twitter and Facebook CEOs. After most states filed antitrust lawsuits with Google, YouTube, owned by Google, announces it will censor all content that mentions fraud and elections in the same video. It’s tantamount to t...
As of press time on Tuesday here are some highlights of last week’s post-election legal and legislative reports prompted by various groups, including the Trump campaign. Georgia: Gov. Brian Kemp called on Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Dec. 5 to order a signature audit of votes after the release of video footage appeared to show poll workers in Fulton County processing ballots in the middle of the night. According to Trump campaign attorney Jackie Pick, who t...
So much is going on from a national point of view that is not being reported in mainstream media, it can be hard to keep up. But here is a quick 1,000-foot overview. President Donald Trump’s team has been filing lawsuits in swing states where they have hundreds of affidavits of election workers, voters and expert testimony of voter and election fraud, or like in Pennsylvania, where the voting systems were changed without going through the legislature and a judge has already ru...
This week as I watched a press conference from five high-powered attorneys argue that they have proof of widespread election tampering, I wasn’t very surprised. I did wonder if there was enough to really make a difference. Here are three questions or concerns people are discussing. Is there evidence of actual widespread voter fraud or tampering ? Why does Trump cause division by firing people, including his election cyber security chief? Trump should just concede like H...
It is a confusing time politically. I think it is compounded by being in the middle of pandemic restrictions. It’s a good thing we have the Constitution and rule of law to guide us. It’s hard to discern what is true and what isn’t. Most national media outlets called the election for Vice President Biden, although they hold no authority, and while he may very well be our next president, the current president’s team heard enough stories of fraud that they believed the election w...
This week our American system of checks and balances is working the way it is supposed to, and legal challenges, whistleblowers, etc. are having their day in court. In addition, there was a record number of people who voted. It is all good news. Several news agencies declared the winner before the counting was complete, but soon enough the winner will be apparent, official, and no matter who wins, we should all be on the same side and work together. This week in the midst of...
Thanks Maggie, We will miss you. The problem is you can’t trust just the NYT. I am a subscriber to NYT too, as well as Epoch Times. We used to be able to depend on the daily news for our national news, and it was an industry standard to be unbiased and provide both sides for the reader to make their decision, but not anymore. The problem is that the world and its issues are increasingly local issues, whether they are economic, COVID-19, climate change, etc. Last month, The N...
