End tribalism<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you to Ayaan Hirsi Ali (\u201cThe tyranny of tribalism,\u201d May 12) for an amazing article about what is happ<\/a>ening in America today. It\u2019s a unique look at the old \u201cdivide and conquer\u201d issues that have plagued Ali\u2019s native country of Somalia, and are now plaguing America.<\/p>\n

There is no longer freedom of speech because you are judged, called names and even canceled if you do not agree with another person\u2019s narrative.<\/p>\n

Our country is not perfect, and we\u2019ve certainly have come a long way over the past century. But in the past eight years, it feels like we have stepped back in time, and our politicians and the media<\/a> are turning our countrymen against each other more and more.<\/p>\n

If we do not learn from the past, our failures or the failures of other countries, then what hope do we have?<\/p>\n

History\u2019s heroes<\/strong>

<\/strong>Sohrab Ahmari\u2019s column at first seemed to be another lament about \u201cwokeness\u201d (\u201cWisdom of Ages,\u201d PostOpinion, May 10).<\/p>\n

It was so much more. Telling Saint Maximilian Kolbe\u2019s story of heroism transcends the loud voices of the crowd and speaks to a way of living a truly free life.<\/p>\n

As he says, \u201cFreedom meant choosing what one ought to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

We need to tell these human stories over and over to our children, so they can understand what takes a lifetime to understand, not erase them.<\/p>\n

Cop\u2019s tot save

Bravo to Police Officer Alyssa Vogel for her heroic actions in rushing a wounded child out of harms way and to medical attention (\u201cHero cop\u2019s assurance,\u201d May 10).<\/p>\n

Kudos also to the NYPD and Florida police for catching the suspect. It\u2019s a desperately needed reminder of what police here and throughout the country face daily, and another stark example of how the vast majority of officers handle dangerous situations bravely and effectively.<\/p>\n

Conspicuously absent are the usual tweets from the usual suspects decrying police actions. Right-minded people of all strip<\/a>es need to push back against the selective outrage that fuels the anti-police rhetoric that endangers all of us.<\/p>\n

Economy truths
<\/strong>
Two of the primary rules in economics are that people act in their own self-interest and they respond to incentives (\u201cBiden\u2019s relief doesn\u2019t \u2018work,\u2019\u200a\u201d Charles Gasparino, May 8).<\/p>\n

President Biden\u2019s \u201cstimulus\u201d has created incentives that result in people not wanting to seek work. It\u2019s in their self-interest to stay home because their compensation is on par with what it would be if they went out to work.<\/p>\n

Democrats are creating an economy where government drives the market, and that is a recipe for disaster. History is loaded with failed societies where the collective made decisions at the expense of the individual.<\/p>\n

When Biden says: \u201cThe economy is on the right track,\u201d it just exposes his ignorance of basic economics.<\/p>\n

Mother madness
<\/strong>
As I read Matthew Walther\u2019s column on mothers now being called \u201cbirthing people,\u201d I shudder to think what\u2019s next in the name of \u201cpolitical correctness\u201d (\u201cThe Mother of All PC,\u201d PostOpinion, May 12).<\/p>\n

Will I be celebrating \u201csperm donor day\u201d next month with my children? We all need to speak up and stop the madness before all traditions are canceled.<\/p>\n
