The Donald just announced he’s got a grand idea – if elected he’s going to throw a whooping party like no one’s ever seen before to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. How long will Trump’s party last? A day? A weekend? No, a year. Will his party be in front of the Lincoln Memorial? The Statue…
Remember a few weeks ago when America was careening toward a debt-ceiling cliff, a fiscal crisis that would plunge us into economic catastrophe, stock-market collapse and 401k apocalypse? Then, suddenly – poof! presto! abracadabra! – it was gone. We avoided the cliff. We dodged disaster. Our pensions and portfolios are safe. The economy rolls on,…
DeSantis announced he’d fire Christopher Wray – who Trump made head of the FBI; Trump War Room shot back tweeting, ‘DeSantis voted to confirm Wray in 2017.’ DeSantis War Room pounced: ‘Wray was confirmed by the Senate’ – in other words DeSantis was in the House so he never voted on Wray’s confirmation. Trump popped…
Like President Biden, I fell this weekend. And I’m only 74. He tripped on an ill-placed sandbag. I slipped on a slick boardwalk in Manteo. He fell more gracefully than I did. My feet went out from under me, and I ended up flat on my back. No damage done, except for some soreness and…
Descending a flight of stairs wearing a pair of Italian high heels, Winston Churchill’s sixty-seven-year-old mother fell, broke her ankle, gangrene set in, her leg was amputated above the knee, a vein in her thigh hemorrhaged, she died. Two months later Churchill’s two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Marigold, throat infected, inflamed with tonsilitis, sighed, ‘So tired, so tired’…
Ron DeSantis may be more dangerous to America than Trump. On Memorial Day, when we honored the men and women who died protecting our freedom and liberty, DeSantis told Fox News that as President, “I will be able to destroy leftism in this country.” “Destroy” leftism? DeSantis’ extreme rhetoric reflects his record in Florida: banning…
Since our Danube cruise, my thoughts keep going back to three Holocaust memorials – and the line between good and evil in people. In Budapest, we saw the “Shoes on the Danube Bank,” (pictured) a memorial to 20,000 Jews who were rounded up and executed beside the river in 1944-45. They were ordered to take…
North Carolina Democrats have a big selling job to do for 2024, and Anderson Clayton is selling hard. The state party chair was on ABC News’ GMA3 last week (link below) selling the idea that President Biden and other Democrats can win her state next year – and telling how to do it: “I really…
After twenty-four hours in labor his mother was given an overdose of chloroform – Franklin Roosevelt was born blue, limp, lifeless. A doctor gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Prey to illness as a child, he suffered diseases throughout his life. He married a shy awkward girl, his cousin Eleanor, who saw sex “an ordeal devoid of…
A new nationwide poll shows that, if they could run against each other in 2028, Barack…
Senator Phil Berger was out of touch with voters in his district – and suffered the…
A reassuring lesson from our trip to Germany and Czechia is that dictators, despots and tyrants…
