Is VP Vance the Front Man in a Coup D’état? Once upon a time––in 2017, according to VP JD Vance––a state senator from Ohio met an already-arrived conservative commentator, and they had what is commonly known as chemistry. They connected. They liked each other. They agreed about major issues, except for one. The state senator––that

Many years ago, my daughter Karen saw the movie “Grease” 20 times! By the fifth time, she could recite every line, even every lyric from every song. So, I ask myself, what is both wrong and wrong-headed with all the… seasoned foreign correspondents, journalists worldwide, military experts, think-tank personnel, social-media know-it-alls, so-called influencers, actual diplomats,

Decades ago, I remember reading an article in Newsday, a newspaper based on Long Island and, at that time, the eighth-largest daily in the country. It was a first-person admission of the writer’s irresistible attraction to morbidly obese women. After several family members and friends encouraged him to figure out his obsession by going into

No matter how bizarre or puzzling or impossibly complex crime scenes seemed to be, the detective Sherlock Holmes, accompanied by his friend Dr. John Watson — both fictional characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 1800s — never failed to solve them.

I even wore my Posada jersey when I knew he would

The hate that begins with Jews never ends with Jews.  Rabbi Jonathan Sac  After the horrifying Hamas atrocities, I was disgusted with the moral relativism and clear antisemitism being displayed around the world in so many of our institutions, particularly the media, elite academia, the UN, and tragically in the US House of Representatives.  Grammy-nominated

Once upon a time, there was a good-looking, articulate, young boy named David Duke who attended a conservative elementary school in New Orleans. In Junior High, as an eighth-grader, he was irresistibly drawn to the subject of segregation. He then attended a military school in Georgia and “by the time he graduated was already a

“Maybe he had a stroke,” a nurse friend told me as she theorized about Tucker Carlson’s seemingly bizarre transformation from a rock-ribbed conservative commentator to a flaming anti-Semite whose hatred of both Jews and Israel found him interviewing–and nodding in delirious agreement with–fervid Hitler and Stalin admirer Nick Fuentes, among many other rabid racists. Another

Several years ago, my husband Steve and I were watching TV as an American politician of Hispanic descent responded to a challenging question by an antagonistic reporter. The politician gave such an eloquent and informed answer, sprinkling his response with historical facts, literary allusions, and even dashes of humor, that when he completed his answer,
