The front page of Tuesday’s Philadelphia Inquirer provided ammunition for those who feel politics and politicians are residents of -- dare I say it? -- the swamp. Here’s a link to one of the stories, https://www.inquirer.com/news/rochelle-bilal-philadelphia-sheriff-budget-funding-raise-20230411.html but I know if you are

Either I’m missing something, or most of the media and other observers, such as Barack Obama, are missing something about why the Tennessee Three got spanked, creating such a national crisis that Vice President Kamala Harris was sent to Nashville to administer first aid. Here are the facts as

Jeff Brown is a hugger. He got that from his father, along with the family business. Like his father, he is a grocer, an unapologetic businessman, straight up. Like his father, he sees business as a way to make money, sure, but also to help people. The help his ShopRite

To me, usually an Israel-supporting American Jew, Kareem Tannous is a loathsome creep with a distorted view of history and vicious, ill-informed anti-Israel opinions. He was fired as an assistant business professor by Cabrini University in Radnor last August after despicable tweets of his were discovered. “#zionism is the disease

In part driven by the pandemic that shut offices (and orifices) across America, the four-day work week is gaining favor. It’s being implemented by companies and government entities, but media reporting often misses a key point, namely hours to be worked in a week. Some employers are permitting a

Pardon me while I chuckle about the amazing, sudden, unexpected proliferation of pro-cop Democrats. Here’s me chuckling. ☺️ Most of these Democrats happen to be candidates and their awakening (not Awokening) intersects with their attempts to be elected or re-elected, most especially in big cities that have been under the
