Joe Biden
Given that President Joe Biden is feverishly reversing almost every policy of President Donald J. Trump, I’m saddened he is following Trump's foolish policy of abandoning Afghanistan on a day announced to our adversaries. I know this is a devisive subject. Avoiding the phrase that was turned
Jews
Word that Amy Gutmann soon would be named our ambassador to Germany rang my American chimes in several ways. I got a little verklempt. (Yiddish for emotional). Not because she is the president of the University of Pennsylvania. I’ve always said that's a great school to attend
Homelessness
Nothing. Imagine having nothing. Imagine being a survivor of the Surfside, FL., condo collapse. You have been out of your home for 11 days, and have just learned Champlain Towers South must be demolished. That happened Sunday night. This is not to diminish the immense loss of life, which is
Race Relations
I can understand why some African-Americans decline to celebrate July 4th, the birth of the United States. The Declaration of Independence was a sort of promissory note, not fully available to them. “You call it Independence Day,” they say, “but it was not independence for Black people in America.” That
Culture
As a journalist, and social critic, my role is to observe, analyze, evaluate, and criticize. When I got my first assignment to be a critic for a newspaper, Mom said, “It’s nice you will now be paid for something you have always done for free.” Love you, Mom. The
Racism
I think most of you here at Stubykofsky.com are better informed than the average person. I don’t say that to flatter you, but because I believe it to be true. I don’t write for the lowest common denominator. So you probably know that in some areas of
Bill Cosby
A New York minute after Bill Cosby released, he sent word that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had declared his innocence. The liberal-leaning court did no such thing. Cosby is a creepy sexual predator. The court vacated his condition on a technicality, which was that a prosecutor had given his word
Racism
There is a cure for ignorance. It is called education. But what is the cure for educators who manufacture ignorance? I recommend ridicule. Meet Dr. Donald Moss, who recently published a “paper” titled “On Having Whiteness,” in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. The editor should have his head
George Floyd
This may come across as mean, but I really have had enough of the beatification of George Floyd and the endless sympathy for his family. What did they do to deserve an audience with the President of the United States? It’s a little much. So there is no misunderstanding:
Helen Gym
Philadelphia’s favorite harridan, City Council member Helen Gym, was arrested Wednesday — according to her plan — in Harrisburg as she put on a show of demanding more money for schools from the Republican-majority legislature. As she knew going in, there would be no more money, and disrupting activities — as she
Critical Race Theory
Critical Race Theory — CRT — reminds me of the fable of the three blind men describing an elephant. The man touching its side said it is like a wall. The man touching its trunk said the elephant is like a snake. The third man held the tail and said the elephant
Critical Race Theory
Let’s talk about CRT — Critical Race Theory, in the news now because (primarily) conservatives don’t want it taught in the schools their children attend. But to discuss it, we have to understand it. What is it? I have looked around what I’ve found reminds me of the
