Drawing a parallel between ‘Sound of Music’ and impeachment hearing
I watched the impeachment hearings. I heard the indisputable testimony of patriotic professionals whose integrity had never been questioned, and who had never been insultingly criticized until they told the truth about political corruption. I was shocked at the rancor of those who could not refute their truthful message, so…

Here’s a simple solution to the sex trafficking problem …
I read news of rampant sex trafficking regularly, and hear and see the same in electronic media almost daily. I was astonished at the number of registered sex offenders parents were warned to avoid when escorting their children while trick or treating on Halloween. There is a simple solution to…

America is at the point of no return
