Cartwright-I really think we only have two options. We either launch pre-emptive strikes to take out their nuclear facilities, their political leadership, their military, and their infrastructure or we completely disengage from North Korea, ignore them, allow the regime to obtain nuclear weapons, and live with the consequences. Let’s be clear about two things. First, … Continue reading How can the US (or any other country for that matter) stop North Korea from inciting a nuclear war?

Will digital currencies eventually become the reserve currencies of the world, and why?
Owatonna, MN Correspondent-When you think about all the forms currency has taken in the world since humans began to trade goods and services with each other, it is certainly a possibility that some type of digital currency may become the reserve currency of the world.

Does the Declaration of Independence no longer have the significance that it once had?
Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent- Most Americans today view Independence Day as another holiday with fireworks and barbequing in the backyard or local park, or waterskiing at the lake or perhaps participating in a hometown parade.

Is the recent shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise and others the result of the media’s impact on the shooter and others with the same mindset?
Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent- If anyone is responsible for the recent shooting of Congressman Scalise and others on that Alexandria, Virginia ball field on Flag Day and Donald Trump’s birthday, it is not only the shooter, but most certainly the media and its influence over him. He definitely got his ideas from somewhere, and they … Continue reading Is the recent shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise and others the result of the media’s impact on the shooter and others with the same mindset?
Has increased immigration (illegal and legal) contributed to depressed wages and the increase of the working poor in America?
Gastonia, NC Correspondent-Blaming illegal immigration for depressed wages and an increase in the poor is at best a spurious argument, and only addresses a tiny portion of the root causes of both problems. I once ran a landscaping business in Beaumont, Texas. We had to bid for jobs, and labor cost was an important part … Continue reading Has increased immigration (illegal and legal) contributed to depressed wages and the increase of the working poor in America?
President Trump recently announced barring transgender individuals from serving in the United States military. Was that an appropriate action?

Should apprenticeship/vocational programs eventually replace four-year college degree programs in America?
Gastonia, NC Correspondent-Apprenticeship is a concept that stretches back to the Middle Ages and before. Of course, back then it usually consisted of parents essentially consigning their male children to indentured servitude in hopes they’d be taught a trade that would eventually profit the family. These days, the system isn’t quite as abusive, and it … Continue reading Should apprenticeship/vocational programs eventually replace four-year college degree programs in America?

Has the Democrat Party become the party of hate and destruction and are their actions anti-American?
Sheffield, Jamaica Correspondent- Americans aren’t sucking up to what the Democrats are selling. While the president’s approval rating is hitting rock bottom due to his constant emotional tirade on Twitter, belligerent immigration ban proposal, and alleged conspiracy with Russia, the Democratic Party is still not a fave. In fact, the Democratic Party was recently reviled … Continue reading Has the Democrat Party become the party of hate and destruction and are their actions anti-American?
