Red China’s Infection Of US Classrooms

Dangerous menaces are spreading from mainland China to the United States. Surgical masks and Big Pharma vaccines, however, won’t protect this nation from its infiltration. The problem doesn’t lie with bats. It lies with America’s batty pursuit of globalization at all costs. Chinese Communist Party agents are using our suicidal pathologies — blind worship of “diversity,” naive exaltation of “cultural exchange” programs, and reckless surrender of our education system — against us for economic espionage, intellectual property theft and world dominance. While Beltway ...

Who Will Pay The Pied Piper?

The Pied Piper of Hamlin is an old legend from hundreds of years ago, but it is a story with a timeless lesson. The town had a terrible rat infestation, and the Piper made an agreement with the townspeople that, if he played his music and got rid of the rats for good, the villagers would pay him a sum of money. When he had done his part and got rid of the rats, the people refused to pay. As revenge, the Piper returned and did the same with all of the children in the town and they were never seen again. For many decades, the United States and many other developed countries have been ...

Moving On After Divorce Can Be Tough

Q: I recently went through a divorce that I didn’t want, but my ex has moved on, and there’s no going back. I’m starting to look forward myself. How soon is too soon to get married again after divorce? Jim: There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to “how soon is too soon.” But this is a question that our counselors at Focus on the Family hear on a regular basis. They have a number of suggestions that anyone in this situation should consider. One recommendation is that you spend adequate time as a single before remarrying. That season of independence gives you a chance to heal ...

Pizza Has A Flavorful History

According to my go-to for useless information, there are just five days in the United States that account for the majority of pizza sales. Care to hazard a guess? For many families I suspect pizza is as much a staple as bread and milk. I do understand the reasoning. It can be picked up by ...

That Stinks, Or Does It?

As many know, I’m a Cleveland Browns fan. (I’ll wait for the laughter, sympathetic sighs, and/or sarcastic remarks running through some people’s minds.) Okay, back to business. As a Browns fan, I’ve become used to the revolving door of change in quarterbacks, coaches, general managers, and other team personnel. For about 20 years, Browns fans have been put in a position of “wait and see,” to know if the new people and plans will finally work out. Many fans have voiced opinions, loudly and often, on sports talk radio and television programs, Twitter, Facebook, in letters ...

Finding The Fountain Of Youth

A few years ago, 41 senior citizens from the American Midwest landed in Boston to check off a few things from their bucket lists. In no particular order here was their list: splash in the Atlantic Ocean, eat fresh lobster, stand before a lighthouse and drive through little New England towns dotted with the reds and yellows of the soon-to-be-sleeping maples. Mostly, they wanted to feel like they were 30 again, hoping the playfulness of the coastal landscape would wake up the sleeping children inside of them. Between the 20 couples, they had, collectively, 1,000 grandchildren. I ...
