My America, More Bits
In a recent post to start the new year, I shared some thoughts about what principles I believe these United States of America are founded and have endured for more than two hundred and fifty years: Equality, Freedom, Opportunity, Justice.

My America
It’s seems more appropriate and necessary now to define for ourselves and posterity the country we want to live in. In a recent article written about Stephen Miller, his leadership on the Right, and attitudes / efforts to reshape our country, the article recalled his declaration, “If you import the Third World, you become the …
