    President Biden on Monday called for police officers to be retrained so they’re taught not to use deadly force in every situation that requires them to fire their weapon. The 80-year-old president’s comments came during the National Action Network’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Breakfast in Washington, DC, as Biden blasted Senate Republicans for blocking a police reform bill in 2021 that would’ve restricted the use of deadly force by law enforcement officers. “We have to retrain cops,” Biden said. “Why should you always shoot with deadly force? The fact is if you need to use your weapon, you don’t...

    In 1931, an aspiring cowboy singer named Leonard Franklin Slye left his native Ohio to take his shot at fame and fortune in the Golden State.

He was known as the "King of the Cowboys" and appeared in over 100 films, as well as in his own television program, "The Roy Rogers Show." Prior to his acting career, Rogers co-founded a singing group in Los Angeles called the Sons of the Pioneers with Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer. By...

    Roy Rogers' recent death, untimely to millions of Americans who loved him, was, in a tragic sense, symbolic of the death of an era of wholesome television entertainment. Actually, the era of good TV has long since passed. But the black and white clips of Roy Rogers' Hollywood in this week's memorial reviews, provide a jolting look at how far we have slipped. Roy Rogers was wholesome. His episodes never offended decency. Any child could watch Roy Rogers without a nervous parent monitoring the show to quickly "click off" the bad parts as is so necessary with TV today. Roy...

    UPDATE POST ELECTION Cowboys still depend on their neighbors for help. They expect their neighbors to call on them in times of need. This is called "neighboring" a practice that has endured since the days of the pioneers. In Washington, DC this is called reaching across the aisle. It is time for all Americans to come together and work on the problems we all face. A COWBOY'S IN THE WHITE HOUSE. MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS.

    By CHARLIE LeDUFF (NYT) VICTORVILLE, Calif., May 27 -- A small yet not insignificant piece of news occurred in April while the world's attention was turned toward Iraq. The Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum, an old-West cavalry-style fort on Highway 15 in the high Mojave Desert, picked up and moved. It has resettled in Branson, Mo., the transplanted heart of country-western life and culture. The move was economic, said Victorville city fathers. Fewer and fewer people, it seems, are interested in the life of the ''King of the Cowboys'' or his wife, Dale Evans, known as the ''Queen of the West.''...
