Today Americans Remember What US President Franklin D Roosevelt Called “A Date Which Will Live In Infamy”

December 7, 2018

The events of December 7, 1941 mark a monumental moment in United States history. With each passing year it seems to get increasingly difficult to find much singular agreement on the greater context of what happened that morning. Surely there were enemies, but were there villains?

May 29, 2019

During his appearance this past January as part of a five-person panel providing a “Sneak Peak” of the 2019 Mackinac Policy Conference, WDET Detroit Today host Stephen Henderson spoke disparagingly of Nolan Finley, editorial page editor of The Detroit News. Repeatedly. [1-4] Every so often he’d look out into the crowd consipiratorially, as if to suggest it obvious that nothing written by Mr Finley was worth reading.
