(Originally published on NewsMax.) “When good people do nothing, that is evil enough.” I heard this in a movie long ago and it resonates with me. There are people right now sitting on the sidelines, seeing our country erupt into chaos over a number of issues. And yet they’re afraid to speak up on the matter, mainly because they simply want to live their lives and take care of their loved ones — which is

(This article previously published in NewsMax.) In a decision that could seriously impair police effectiveness, a recent ruling by the California Supreme Court holds that individuals cannot be detained merely for avoiding police interaction. To appreciate the gravity of this ruling, we need to dive into its origins and the principles at stake. The basis of modern criminal investigation, including the gathering of evidence, finds its roots in the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

(Originally published in NewsMax.) America is at a crossroads of choice not just about abortion but about what it means to be human and what it means to be American. The national abortion debate reflects a crisis of government in two ways: 1.) the people do not understand the role of government, and 2.) the three co-equal branches of federal government are at odds with each other. First, the response to former President Trump’s April

(Originally published on The Epoch Times.) As the world watches, the Middle East finds itself at another critical juncture. The question in everyone’s minds is whether the Hamas terrorist leadership will accept the latest hostage deal proposed by the Biden administration and Egypt. With the Israeli cabinet also needing to approve the deal, the stakes are high. Hamas has indicated that it will respond by Wednesday, setting the stage for significant developments that could either

(Originally published on American Thinker.) In a move that has the world talking, Israel has responded to Iran’s provocation not with overwhelming force but with a strategic, measured action. According to the Drudge Report, in the pre-dawn hours of a Friday, April 19, Israel launched what can only be described as a “pin prick” attack on the Iranian city of Isfahan. This was not the wide-scale military retaliation many had expected following Iran’s aggressive launch of

(Originally published in American Thinker.) The world has watched in wonder as Israel demonstrated remarkable military prowess by intercepting virtually all the drones and missiles thrown against them. This feat is not just a testament to Israel’s advanced defense capabilities but also a reflection of its steadfast commitment to safeguarding its citizens against external threats. However, the response from the Biden administration to these events has sparked considerable controversy and concern, particularly among astute observers.

Originally published in SG Home Furnishings. (4/14/2024) In an era where the geopolitical and business landscapes are as dynamic as ever, a compelling shift is underway, signaling a robust comeback for American manufacturing. This resurgence, while broad in its impact, offers a beacon of hope particularly for an industry that has weathered its fair share of challenges—home furnishings. Historically, towns like Hickory and High Point in North Carolina stood as monoliths of the American dream,

(Originally published in American Thinker.) New York politicians’ hatred of police has led to short-staffing and rising crime in the city.  Now they seem to determined to do the same thing to the New York Fire Department. Last month, FDNY commissioner Laura Kavanagh said she would “hunt down” firefighters who booed New York attorney general Letitia James during a promotion ceremony. Videos of the ceremony show the crowd booing James and chanting “Trump” while James was speaking.  Although she acted

(Originally published in WND.) New York City is becoming as bad as California, and that’s saying something. The city just voted to kill many of the small businesses in the city and have large businesses move out of the city. It’s the latest move to show that Mayor Eric Adams and the city council have no ability to manage a city. Just like California’s wealth tax sent the state’s highest earners looking for a new

(Originally published on AUN-TV.)  It is disappointing to see law enforcement officers, in this case the FBI, politicizing their job to the point where they are arresting people who committed no crime on January 6, 2021. Meanwhile criminals and terrorists are being invited across our southern border, and violent crimes are skyrocketing in our cities. Not only that, violent looters and rioters from the summer of 2020 were never arrested or even investigated.             What

(Originally published in American Thinker.) In the esteemed role of chief executive officer of the United States, the paramount duty is unmistakably the safeguarding of our nation’s security. This is a sacred trust, a commitment to the citizens of our great country to protect them from external threats and ensure their safety and freedom. It is a role that defines the presidency and one that demands unwavering resolve and vigilance. Sadly, intelligence from some of

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Whatever is said about Donald Trump, it was obvious from both his words and actions that he loves America and wanted to do his best for the country. It is a quality far too few politicians — both Democrat and Republican — show these days. And now with the 2024 Presidential Election lining up as a replay of the 2020 election between Joe Biden and Trump, look at what the candidates are doing: Both

(Originally published in WND.) How bad has the U.S. military become that a 31-year veteran, a retired colonel in the Army, is advising teenagers not to join the military? In a Rumble video, Col. Larry Wilkerson said he told a group of high school students, “I recommend none of you 18 and 19 year olds go into the military, because all your military is doing today is being led by people who are insane, infested with lust

(Originally posted on NewsMax.) The Second Amendment, in a nutshell notes, “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” It goes into much more depth than that, but the general gist of it is that people are allowed to own a firearm and, in the states allowed, even carry it with them, provided they have the license

(Originally published on NewsMax.) Trump need not advocate a particular federal law banning abortion based on some arbitrary gestational age, like 16-weeks, or developmental characteristic, like a beating heart or ability to feel pain. He just needs to enforce the law. We are no longer fighting a battle over abortion opinions but the criminality of the current administration. Donald, enforcing current federal laws equally is sufficient to eliminate virtually all elective abortions in America. Start

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Recent Changes May Be Giving Police Much Needed Support, But . . . Why Isn’t President Joe Biden Fully on board? Since 2020, we’ve heard the scream of “Defund the Police!” These cries demand reform even in situations not calling for it. Yet, it’s beginning to sound as though some states are finally understanding that they actually need police officers to keep their communities safe. That said, this doesn’t mean everyone

(Originally published in American Thinker.) Is the U.S. legal system even guided by the rule of law anymore?  More and more, we are seeing stories that the agencies like the FBI, IRS, and Department of Justice have been weaponized against conservatives.  Liberal prosecutors and district attorneys are no longer even pretending to be unbiased. Now, public schools have been a bastion for liberal indoctrination for far too long.  Our students don’t learn how to read, multiply, or even
