    Publishers Perspective: Life Is Full Of Change

    So Long…It’s Been A Good Ride

    President John F. Kennedy noted that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” As predicted, the subsequent tax cut worked like a charm.

    A rising tide lifts all boats

    Howard Sierer - October 27, 2019
    Unemployment is low and wages are rising again because the creativity and productivity of America's entrepreneurs and small businesses has been unleashed.

    Unleashing entrepreneurs is good for us all

    Tom Purcell - October 26, 2019
    Trump is returning American sovereignty to America, and all globalists hate him for it. They will do anything to destroy him.

    Trump delivers major blow to globalism

    Harold Pease - October 24, 2019
    Clinton entering the race would not clear the field but tear the party apart. There is no reason why Obama would willingly take on a brutalizing campaign.

    Do the Democrats need Hillary or Michelle to enter the race?

    Guest Contributor - October 23, 2019
    Impeachment is the only alternative at this point, and Congress must proceed vigorously in that direction.

    Impeachment is the only alternative at this point

    Ed Kociela - October 22, 2019
    This is my own Declaration of “Independent.” I will never again be a Democrat, but the GOP abandoned the principles I loved.

    I’ve had enough. I’m done with the Republican Party.

    Christine Flowers - October 21, 2019
    Whether you’re a liberal or a conservative, nationwide injunctions are no way to run a railroad.

    End nationwide injunctions

    Howard Sierer - October 20, 2019
    When academics can't ponder and debate without the fear of losing their livelihood or being physically harmed by a mob, we have deep problems in America.

    Scholars hide behind pseudonyms on intolerant campuses

    Tom Purcell - October 19, 2019
    I could write about impeachment again this week, and probably for countless weeks to come. But I think we all could use a diversion.

    In news other than impeachment…

    Rich Manieri - October 18, 2019
    The Constitution is presently used by both major political parties defending or opposing the House Intelligence Committee impeachment inquiry against President Donald J. Trump. But clearly, respecting impeachment, Democrats are sloppy with the Constitution.

    On impeachment, Democrats are sloppy with the Constitution
