Back when reruns were a staple of summer programming, television networks aired repeats of their programs, giving viewers another opportunity to see what they had already seen. Democratic politicians are now conducting their own version of reruns.
How much credibility should we give to a 16-year-old when considering her qualifications to lecture adults about science and an end-of-the-world scenario?
They are all gone now; the men (and one woman) who were major influences in my early journalism career. The last two died within weeks of each other.
When the Supreme Court, under a previous ideological majority, was handing down decisions favorable to the left, Democrats were fine with deferring to that third branch of government to achieve what they declined to produce in legislation.
By definition, what 14 million viewers watched on TV last Thursday night was not a debate — not even close.
"When would you like to schedule your knee replacement surgery?" asked my American doctor before I left for Ireland. I gave him a date that works for me (I'm calling it the result of an old basketball injury, not advancing age). His office scheduled it for that date. Contrast this with a headline in the Irish Independent newspaper: "Surgery delays are 'cheating elderly out of precious time.'" While I'm not ready to claim "elderly status," the story is a preview of what could happen in the U.S. if enough of us buy into the notion that government knows best when it comes to our health and longevity.
President Trump was right to cancel a "secret" meeting with leaders of the Taliban and the Afghan government following two bomb attacks by the terrorist group that killed 10 civilians, an American soldier and a Romanian service member in heavily fortified Kabul.
After socking it to the rich, Democrats won't stop there. They will ultimately find a way to come after your IRA and 401K accounts,
One doesn't have to be a cynic to be cynical about the Justice Department's decision not to hold former FBI Director James Comey accountable for what an Inspector General report called his violation of FBI policies and his setting a "dangerous example" in order to "achieve a personally desired outcome."
There are people in every generation who believe the generation following theirs is either going to the dogs or will ruin the country.
The latest demonstration of insanity is San Francisco's Board of Supervisors' adoption of new "person first" language guidelines.
Remember the controversy in 2012 when President Obama said, "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
During a December 2015 debate among Republican presidential candidates in Las Vegas, former Florida governor Jeb Bush said to Donald Trump: "You can't insult your way to the presidency."
President Trump has repeatedly promised, "America will never be a socialist country." Since Franklin Roosevelt began expanding government in the 1930s, the United States has increasingly adopted big-state policies associated with socialism.
After the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, investigators discovered that the lone man assigned to guard the president, John Parker, had abandoned his post to watch the play from an adjacent box at Ford's Theater. Worse, at intermission, Parker adjourned to a nearby saloon to have drinks with some friends. It was during the second act that John Wilkes Booth entered the president's box and shot him. Maybe something as simple and explainable as that will be the conclusion of an investigation into the death of billionaire financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan federal prison.
Blaming others hasn't worked. We've tried that and more. Why not try God?
The president should make Baltimore an example of what good-hearted people can do to solve a problem.
Calling someone "racist" has become the default position for liberal politicians and certain members of the media who wish to deflect attention from real problems.
The Washington Post, which has done everything in its dwindling power with articles, editorials and columns denouncing, demeaning and attempting to destroy President Trump, appears to have temporarily — but only temporarily — raised the white flag.
The Founders of the United States of America warned against massive federal debt, but, to our detriment, their political descendants are not paying attention.
