ANOTHER VIEW: Resist!  Don’t get caught up in all this “wokeness”

CHARLESTON, S.C.  |  Somebody at a book event recently asked, “Are you woke?” My response: “Just what does that mean?” Her response: Deer-in-the-headlights. She didn’t know. She sputtered and changed the subject. But this kind of silliness is going on too much.

BRACK: Here’s an open letter to those racists in our midst

By Andy Brack | Dear racists: You may think you’re winning the battle with a killing here or a hate rally there, but you’re losing the war.  Americans are getting increasingly sick, tired and repelled by your vitriolic, creepy, abhorrent prejudices.  Your days are as numbered as the president you glorify.
