It is worth reading.   [begin article] “He built his own desk. Walnut, hand-cut, assembled with his own two hands — because long before he was a face on television, Andy Rooney was a man who liked making things and saying things plainly. But this story doesn't start at that desk. It starts seventeen thousand feet above Germany, in subzero air, aboard a...

It was the allegations that did that, not the prosecution, not a preponderance of evidence, but just the charges that he had done it.   With this event, the Democrats are laying a foundation for future actions.  Consider this: How many times have they accused Republicans of rape, especially if they are against nominees to th...

His act was against our Con...

  Putting the Spotlight On Independence By Steven Maikoski  6-13-2026 It is obvious that our nation has been losing its appreciation of Independence Day.  Most people refer to the fireworks date, July 4, instead of the historical reason for the event.  Several people have created Internet videos of citizens who cannot identify what country the United States declared independence from; a few didn’t know July 4 was actually Independence Day. It is unfortunate that some people are that uninformed.  It is our public education system doing its job.  This July 4, 2026, will be our nation’s 250th birthday, so it is up to us to educate the unknowing on the value of our Independence and the costs of that great event.  It is equally important to get the word out to those who plan on protesting the celebration of independence.   So, let us start at the beginning, the Second Continental Congress.  It met in Philadelphia in 1775 under what it referre...

Was this an illegal act?  The short answer is NO. Our Constitution included provisions for actions the President could take without a declaration of war.  That action listed above was what President Thomas Jefferson did in the year 1801, over two hundred years ago, because of murders, kidnappings, and seizures of ships by the Barbary Pirates. The current debate on Iran argues whether weapons of mass destruction were inv...
