Nov 28, 2016 – Ever since Colin Kaepernick wore a T-shirt featuring Fidel Castro to a press conference after the first game in which he took a knee during the national anthem, Cuban exiles have not been his biggest fans (understatement). During Thanksgiving week, Kaepernick was grilled by Miami Herald sports writer Armando...

Nov 27, 2016 – As I wrote about earlier this week, Rosie O’Donnell tweeted a You Tube video that speculated that Barron Trump has autism, and after receiving a barrage of critical tweets she claimed she only did it out of “care and concern.” Instead of just letting it go, on Saturday Rosie...

It turned out that the oldest, a female, was 29 years old, but due to extreme malnourishment...

Jan 19, 2018 – Who the heck does this guy think he is?

Ross Levinsohn, who has headed the paper since August,...

Jan 17, 2018 – When I first saw this tweet from Planned Parenthood, I laughed at the irony. Then I rolled my eyes. Then, as I thought about it more and read the New York Times article, I got really, really angry. Excuse me? Don’t get me wrong; I wholeheartedly agree...

Nancy Pelosi (D-Rich Off Hubby’s Money) held a rambling press conference in which she characterized the bonuses corporations are giving their rank-and-file employees as “crumbs.” Of course, she has to spin it that way because for months she and her acolytes predicted that the tax...

Jan 16, 2018 – I hate to say, “I told you so.” Well, that’s not really true. I love saying, “I told you so.” But in this case I hate that a headline I wrote more than a year ago is still (mostly) correct. One of the first pieces I wrote for...

Jan 11, 2018 – In Pelosi-land, the only people who can complain about or vote on or negotiate or even have a thought about a certain issue are the ones she deems are affected by it. You know, if you’re not a woman you can’t have an opinion on birth control or abortion. And...

Feb 15, 2018 – After a Valentine’s Day immigration sweep in Los Angeles, City Councilman Gil Cedillo said it was obvious the city was enduring an “all-out assault.” I agree, Mr. Cedillo.
