Iran War
We were told that Trump has a plan that will not require prolonged engagement or ground forces. That still might be true. However, as a general rule, air power is not sufficient to force regime change or to win wars. Two decades ago, when George W. Bush was waging war […]
Mike Whatley’s Campaign for US Senate
Now that primary season is concluded, it is pretty clear that Roy Cooper has the inside track to pick up North Carolina’s US Senate seat for the socialists. He has won numerous statewide elections in the state. He possesses a personality and a manner of speech that many voters in […]

Progressive Expectations For The Arts
Sometime before COVID, I had the opportunity to see “A Christmas Carol” at the now-defunct Triad Stage in downtown Greensboro. It was pretty striking to see a story written in England around 1843– and set in England presumably around that time– cast with multiple African-American actors. This detracted severely from […]
