Sunday marks 5 years since George Floyd's murder, when millions marched for racial justice. It's bad enough that few reforms came from it But there's a straight line from BLM marches to a backlash that reelected Trump and is ending DEI. What went wrong?…

It's a tragic fact that three Democratic cancer patients over age 70 who ran in November could have stopped this bill if they had lived -- or if they had stepped aside for younger candidates [contains quote post or other embedded content]

1. Answering senseless violence in Gaza with an act of senseless violence in DC is despicable and immoral. I'm heartbroken for the victims and their loved ones. This idiot didn't help the Palestinian cause. He crushed it. We're going spend days talking…

My thoughts on the Dem gerontocracy are in this 2023 column I wrote about Sen. Dianne Feinstein Too many Dems worship the 1960s ethos that liberalism is "personal liberty" and self-fulfillment is working until death, even as that undermines their supposed…

Yet another key Democrat, Rep. Gerry Connolly, has succumbed to cancer, sadly. Yesterday I wrote about what matters most about the Joe Biden cancer saga - that Trump is already devastating the cancer 'moonshot' that defined everything good about POTUS 46 …

I'm a total nerd but I'm fascinated by the crazy expressway ideas of the 1960s that were (thankfully) never built. I actually did the Long Island version of this article for Newsday in 1986 (yes, LI could have had even more expressways, how crazy is that?)…

You'll be shocked to learn that mainstream media, amid its frenzied coverage of that Biden book and cancer diagnosis, is missing the story that matters most to Americans A vengeful Trump has shot down Biden's cancer 'moonshot,' with funding down 31%. My…

1. Only today I learned that the big "No Kings" protest planned for June 14 to coincide with Trump's hideous military parade will NOT have an event in Washington that might directly confront the Trump birthday bash. I have very mixed feelings about this,…

You can laugh at the hypocrisy of Bari Weiss' "free speech" UATX that cancels actual free speech, or cry at NYU's attack on a pro-Palestine commencement speaker But U.S. college free speech is dead. Let's talk about the far-right plot that killed it. My…

The Biden cognitive story is a good reminder about something that was great about the glory days of print newspapers, which is that there's a Page 1 and then a Page A17, which is where the Biden story belongs in the middle of a Trump dictatorship push.…
