What happens when a generation of young people fail to marry and have children? Not only does life diminish for them, but to the degree this develops as a pattern, the society will become self-absorbed and die from within. In reality, half the world’s countries have a fertility rate below
In considering the problem of racism in America we would do well to study our history. Three Black men, brilliant and articulate contemporaries whose lives spanned the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s, were great leaders in America: W.E.B. Dubois (1868-1963), Booker T.

Even in the so-called Dark Ages, one plus one equaled two. But today, Critical Race Theory scorns that reality as “White Math.” Mathematics dates its discovery and articulation as a discipline to Pythagoras of Samos (569 – 475 BC). Historians recognize Pythagoras as the father of mathematics. Princeton mathematician Sergiu
Sergiu Klainerman was born to a Jewish family in Bucharest in 1950, in the impoverished Communist “prison state” that was Nicolae Ceaușescu’s Romania.
