To the editor: Where was the outrage by the Democrats, liberals, and mainstream media over the rioting by BLM, Antifa, etc. last spring and summer? Now that high-ranking politicians actually felt personally endangered, they seem alarmed. But only because they can blame Trump supporters, or ...
To the editor: After the events of Jan.6 in the National Capital I cannot and will not remain silent. Make no mistake about it, the President of the United States, in an act of insurrection, incited his followers to carry out the seditious acts that occurred. All of those involved must be ...
To the editor: A few quick thoughts on the events in Washington DC on Jan. 6. This whole mess started because Government was able to instill enough fear of a flu-like virus in our people that we would accept drastic changes in our election process. Changes never before seen, or even tested, ...

Following the most harrowing day in our government’s history since the British burned the White House during the War of 1812, Congress returned immediately to work Wednesday night once the U.S. Capitol’s corridors were cleared of insurrectionists. Debating throughout the night, they did ...
(I completed this Wednesday morning. The events of that afternoon give everything a “before and after” quality, so we delayed running it. Pictures from the Capitol were the type we have seen of places far away or long ago, places where society has broken down. To see them here is beyond ...

To the editor: Thanks to The Journal for printing the commentaries of Walter Williams. Liberty and I will miss his wisdom, insight and common sense. May I suggest Bob Woodson as his replacement. From, The Journal’s “History” column August 29, 2020: One Year ago: Authorities in ...

To the editor: The 12-31-2020 letter ‘The election: A Christian perspective’ lamented that Trump lost, and that: “…America’s days of peace, prosperity and freedom may be a thing of the past.” I submit that those attributes would still have been lost even if Trump won. Pat ...
