By guest blogger Sadako Red [see disclaimer] [February 25, 2026] The City of Baltimore is in a tailspin, and nowhere is this more evident than in its public school system.

[October 30, 2025] An American tradition, one that has historically distinguished the citizens of the United States from their European ancestors, is questioning their leadership.

[August 10, 2025] A few months ago, while I was speaking with a group of high school-aged kids, we got on the topic of selfless service and duty.

[April 14, 2025] Look, this is the face of a young woman who committed battery on an innocent woman but has rejected accountability for her violence.

[March 16, 2025] I knew I could choose from a long list of topics for my new leadership website more than a decade ago. One early article was on U.S. Army core values.

[November 26, 2024] Rabbi Pinchas Taylor alerts us to a Muslim man who tells two stories contrasting Muslim versus Jewish faith.
