[April 24, 2024] The idea that college today in America is worse than useless is not new. But since the Hamas terror attack on Israel, there has been an explosion of violent anti-Semitism on many college campuses, fueled by the pandering of college presidents to “protestors.” Extremists are now running these Woke asylums, and that is downright dangerous.… Read More »
[April 15, 2024] One of the lessons from life is that we must be alert to the beauty in life, for there is little of greater value.
