Biden makes a muddle with off-the-cuff comment
President Joe Biden got it right on paper -- condemning the surge of U.S. anti-Semitism — but tripped over his tongue in an off-the-cuff remark to a reporter. His critics are calling it his “Charlottesville moment,” but that’s not quite right. The “Charlottesville moment” refers to the statement made

Iran’s futile attack challenges Israel to do less
President Joe Biden told Iran, “Don’t.” Iran not only did attack Israel — but for the first time it attacked Israel directly from its own soil. It was “unprecedented,” many analysts said. We will return to this in a moment. One headline should be written about the unprecedented success of

2 hot issues for White House on Easter
It’s a little crazy at the White House this Easter, which is a religious holiday, the most important holiday on the Christian calendar. In one case the holiday is being disrespected, but not in the other. In the first case, some were surprised to learn that children of National

To get the border off his back, here’s what Biden must say
Folks, I made a mistake. As you may know — because, sadly, there is video evidence — I was too casual in inviting foreigners to come to the United States, And who wouldn’t want to come here, really? During a 2019 debate, I told those seeking asylum to “surge” our border.

The speech: GOP loses the “incompetent” talking point
President Joe Biden closed his State of the Union address by taking on the elephant in the room — his age. The fact that this came more than an hour into his speech was itself a win, that he got that far with vigor, energy and passion. He acknowledged that he

Why Americans are suckers for political lies
I’m not going to use his name, because I am not looking for a Twitter X war, I am looking for honesty and transparency. The host of a Philadelphia radio station Wednesday morning stated as fact “most people aren’t in the stock market.” That statement was used to

Reparations: San Francisco says “Sorry,” but no cash
Remember when you were dating, and you got a handshake instead of a kiss? Now imagine you got a handshake instead of $5 million. That’s how some Black San Franciscans are feeling after the San Francisco Board of Supervisors issued a formal apology for slavery, racism, and discrimination, but
