by Leo Morris I know what you’re up to, all you early voters. But I have to say I don’t think it’s going to work out the way you hope. You just want this all to be over – the drama, the anxiety, the bitterness, the anger, the shouting of slogans and accusations of taking…

“Top management is discouraged and saddened, and middle management is drinking too much. Morale in the newsroom is fair, because of the recent raises, but the shining brows of the copy boys, traditional emblems of energy and hope, have begun to display odd, unattractive lines. At every level, people want management to stop what it…

by Mark Franke The American flag seems to be everywhere these days and I suppose that is a good thing. After all, the flag is a symbol of who we are and what we believe.  We are a creedal nation, as George Will describes us. My childhood recollection is that there was a federal law prohibiting…

by Leo Morris I keep pretty good track of changes in the Indiana Code, but I came across one recently that I had missed. As of last year, city police and firefighters no longer have to live inside their county or a bordering county. Now, they can live in a non-bordering county up to 50…

by Donna Volmerding The election of 2020 is the most critical in our lifetimes. I read the position of my local newspaper and I must share another point of view. Joe Biden has disdain for the truth. He has lied about his stance on fracking. On March 15, 2019, he said he wanted “no more…

“Don’t just do something, stand there.” — the White Rabbit in Walt Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland” PUBLIC POLICY got a lot simpler this last year with money and people fleeing the insanities of progressive states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois and California. Opportunity is ours in Indiana if we can only sit still and avoid…

I started following presidential elections as a grade-schooler back in 1960 but 2016 was the first one in which I felt neither candidate was worthy of occupying the White House. And I was not alone in that sentiment as…

by Richard Moss, M.D. I contend that the term “cancel culture” is far too mannerly and tame. It scarcely captures the degree of hatred the Left and its social media zealots unleash with any transgression from woke orthodoxy. Even doctrinaire liberals, tried and true “progressives” with a lifetime of fidelity, have felt the sting of leftist vengeance after betraying the cause…

by Leo Morris Putting a vice president into the Oval Office is like putting a new Supreme Court justice on the bench. You might think you know what you’re getting, but people who are given such power have an alarming tendency to do whatever they want to.  Lyndon Johnson was another John Kennedy and then…

by Dan Eichenberger M.D., M.B.A. Never in our lifetime have we witnessed, first-hand, how easy it has been to manipulate and control the minds and thoughts of a populace. The Coronavirus pandemic enabled media and political entities to create and perpetuate a meta-narrative leading to entire countries’ mind-control. Allen Ginsbergstated, “Whoever controls the media, the images, controls…
