Keeping the Killing of Innocents Out of Mind

Kamala Harris & Abortion: The Short Take

A few days ago, the Omaha World-Herald published a quick note I had submitted to their “letters to the editor” column.

Caring Enough To Write

Do you think a letter to Tractor Supply thanking them for the recent reversal of their “woke policies” is in order? Yeah, I do too.
