Politics
Normally, I give extra points to a political candidate with military service. Pennsylvania Republican governor candidate Doug Mastriano retired from the U.S. Army as a full colonel before turning to politics. High five. I confess I subtract points for advanced degrees. To my sorrow, I have learned the higher

On the one hand, you have David Beckham, once the world’s greatest soccer player, waiting in a 10-hour queue (British for line) to say goodbye to the late Queen Elizabeth II. On this side of the pond, we have former Courier-Post and Daily News writer Chuck Darrow,

May I ask an impolite question? Thank you. When Presidential Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (the first Haitian-immigrant-lesbian to hold that post, in case you forgot how many Indentity boxes she checks) says that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott are “playing politics” by shipping

Animals
The collection of Pembroke Welsh Corgis given free run of the castle will be euthanized and buried with her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, according to terms in her will, uncovered by the Daily Mail. The will, leaked to the newspaper, specified that the dogs be euthanized and buried with
9/11
Something has to be said, but what hasn’t been said already? Last year -- the 20th anniversary — delivered an orgy of remembrance, anger, sadness, sickness. For the Millennials, it was their Day of Infamy. For Boomers it was Nov. 22, 1963 again. An unspeakable tragedy, a tape measure of America’

Republican Mehmet Oz says Democrat John Fetterman is a trust fund baby. He is correct. But Dr. Oz, too, was born in Cleveland sucking a silver spoon.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehmet_ Oz He is the son of a surgeon who immigrated to America, and a wealthy mother.
Joe Biden
Standing before the back door to Independence Hall, President Joe Biden delivered a forthright political address, but did it in a slightly unusual way. Sounding almost like a cleric at the lectern, when Biden talked about the promise and purpose of America, he spoke in frankly patriotic terms that might

Polls I have checked agree that a small majority of Americans support some student loan forgiveness, but the percentage in favor declines as the amount forgiven inclines, such as this one conducted by left-lurching NPR. https://www.npr.org/2022/06/17/1104920545/poll-student-loan-forgiveness Here’s

People — poor people mostly — are desperate to get to America. So desperate they will lie and distort the law to achieve sanctuary here. I don’t blame them for wanting to come here. I do blame them for subverting our law — whether they crash the border and run for the

Uh-oh. POTUS has pissed off AOC. [Translation for those not obsessed with politics.] President Joe Biden has angered U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Why? He’s placed restraints on what was going to be a volcano of money for college deadbeats students in debt. Early on, there was

By now, there’s a good chance you have seen a brief video of three Arkansas cops subduing a suspect.l The insidious thing about sharing video on the internet is you see a slice of what happened, not the whole loaf. And judgments are made on incomplete evidence. It
