The father of our country would be greatly disappointed in some of his children. He’d also be appalled at the behavior of one of his successors, a man who always puts himself before his country ...
We can start right here in Nevada where our governor, Joe Lombardo, recently tried to force the Legislature to approve his plan to use the public’s money to fund nonpublic education. He thinks it is OK to use our tax dollars to pay forreligious school education.
One hundred and seventeen people who swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution — by that I mean the American way of life as we know it — voted to default on the just and lawful debt of the United States. Hmmm. ....
Antisemitism is the oldest form of hate. But it isn’t the only hate that we experience on a daily basis. Pick a group by its color, ethnicity, religion, place of origin or any number of other qualifiers, and there will be hate directed toward them. Worse, there will be hate acted upon them.
This is not a Republican versus Democrat thing but, rather, a uniquely American thing. In a land of plenty, in a land of overabundance, we seem to have lost our ability to surmount the most simple challenges. And we have plenty ...
As much as most of America expected Rupert Murdoch to apologize to the country for lying and damn lying about the 2020 election, it was never going to happen. Not because he and all the rest of the fake news people at Fox aren’t responsible for deliberately misleading their viewers — because they are — but because telling its viewers that they had been duped was bad for Fox’s business. And we couldn’t have that, could we?
The fall of Donald Trump — at least the beginning of a fall that may ultimately be heard in the forests of our federal courts and in the state of Georgia — is no longer an illusion.
Instead of slinking away in shame like any other clouded-up ex-president, Donald Trump seeks the reward of another term in the Oval Office. And his sycophantic army of political chameleons ...
Will he or won’t he — be indicted. That is not the question. I suppose it says a lot about our country and where its head is today that a person can’t go too far down the street without someone asking that question about former President Donald Trump ...
Venus and Jupiter kissing? How can that be? Well, it can’t be. That’s the point. But this past week it has looked that way to those of us on planet Earth who dared to look up. So, since this column is about perspective, let’s gain a little when it comes to kissing planets and what I thought about ...
If ever there were a case to be made for President Joe Biden’s potential decision to run for reelection, I believe his recent secret trip to Ukraine should put the naysaying to rest. In the dark of night, with a measure of secrecy recently unknown in Washington circles, and with a determination to do what was right and necessary for the under-siege and under-gunned people of Ukraine, the president of the United States made a command decision to lead
For those unaware, Israel’s new government seeks to redefine the powers of the Israeli Supreme Court allowing, among other things, a simple majority of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) to overturn its rulings. For some, this is needed to correct a court that has progressed too far to the left and is out of touch with the needs of the people. For others, it is the beginning of the end of Israel’s democracy, giving too much power to its legislative body. I pray that the truth is somewhere in the middle.
There was a time when people on both sides of the political aisle in Congress came together for the good of the country, applauded for what was good for the country and stood up to support what represented all that is good about our country. That is not what I saw this past week when President Biden reported on the state of our union.
