Last week, the death of the final leader of the Soviet Union marked the end of an era. “Mikhail Gorbachev Meets His Maker” is the way professor and author Dr. Paul Kengor entitled his article on this milestone. Gorbachev died on August 30, 2022 at the age of 91. He was the last head of […]

President Biden has more than his share of gaffes. But he made a remark last week on education, as he and his wife Jill hosted a Teacher of the Year event at the White House.  It was not a gaffe. Biden said to teachers: “They’re not somebody else’s children. They’re yours when you’re in the […]

If you were to travel around the nation, what one thing would you find repeatedly? The answer may surprise you—especially in light of the violence rocking our nation, the disintegration of common values, the rampant crime, and the breakdown of morals.
