A Political Column by Larry Wiwi Over the weekend I began a self-education process to learn more about Critical Race Theory (CRT) than the snippets and soundbites one gets from news and social media and downloaded Critical Race Theory: An Introduction, 3rd Edition by authors Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic. It is truly a stunning …

Old Guy Rant: Outreach to a Biden voter
Political column by Larry Wiwi Like perhaps most families, mine is split on political lines and the unspoken agreement is we generally do not go very far down the political discussion path since it usually ends in sharp disagreement, perhaps even a full-blown argument. A few weeks ago I violated that agreement because I was so …
Old Guy Rant: Lady Justice is no longer blind
Political Column by Franklin County resident Larry Wiwi Old Guy Rant: Lady Justice is No Longer Blind If you believe that Lady Justice still blindly holds the scales of justice and that we are all equal under the law, you have not been paying attention – today Lady Justice sees what she wants, and importantly …

Old Guy Rant: Clarity on COVID
Political column by Larry Wiwi Sometimes I wonder if we will ever really recover from COVID since after all new variants might spring eternal even if the Chi-Coms don’t let another variant loose, but I am much more worried about the collateral damage than the disease.

Old Guy Rant: Third Obama term
Political Column by Franklin County resident Larry Wiwi If you believe Biden is calling the shots as president, you are sadly mistaken since he proves almost daily he can barely put words together in coherent sentences, and Kamala Harris has demonstrated why she did not even make to the primaries in her own bid for …

Old Guy Rant: Our Israelite moment?
Political column by FC resident Larry Wiwi Do not let the title fool you, I make no claims to be a Biblical scholar, and in fact am in the middle of my third cover-to-cover run through the Bible and it is not getting much easier to sort through this long and complex text. That said, …
Old Guy Rant: Time to Pressure the Statehouse
A political column by FC resident Larry Wiwi If you read the Federalist Papers you would know the Founders expected the states to keep the federal government in check, which is why prior to the really-bad-idea 17th Amendment, Senators were chosen by the state legislatures, not the citizens. Alexander Hamilton said it best in Federalist …
