I have to give credit to Philadelphia’s favorite only broadsheet, the Philadelphia Inquirer, for calling in a Tuesday editorial for Democratic mayoral candidate Cherelle Parker to debate Republican David Oh. David Oh will get to debate Cherelle Parker. (Photo: Billy Penn) Within hours, Parker, who had been dodging demands

I was happy and relieved by some recent statements by Keir Starmer, who leads Labour, the Left party that hasn’t governed Great Britain since 2010. Labour leader Keir Starmer embraces patriotism (Photo: Financial Times) His predecessor was a Labourite given to making anti-Semitic statements, not too unusual in a

I don’t want to be gloating over New York City’s discomfort. Wait! I do want to gloat, because what I warned it against has come true. New York Mayor Eric Adams reverses course on shelter (Photo: CNN) Which is to say, its virtue-signaling and defiance-of-law status as a

Devon Archer’s Monday testimony before the closed-door House Oversight Committee was a split decision, with the Republicans slightly worse for wear.

Republican Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is the only one -- so far -- to promise, if he is elected, to pardon Donald J. Trump. Should Joe Biden (left) pardon Donald J. Trump? He’s lost my support on that one, but that notion sparked an idea. But first -- if

First, sincere sympathy to anyone who has lost a loved one to the deadly fentanyl tide unleashed on America by China. This may seem harsh: If the victim bought their drugs from a “friend” or nonauthorized source, don’t blame anyone but them. Blaming the victim? Yes, and it is

It reminds me of Bastogne, the Alamo, Thermopylae, and Masada. Those were battles where defenders were crazily outnumbered, but refused to quit. Like Ukraine today. The 101st Airborne, the Screaming Eagles, were surrounded by Nazis in the Belgian town. When the Germans demanded U.S. surrender or face annihilation, Army

Reality can be a harsh teacher. Or, as Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday, the country is not divided between Left and Right, but between Normal and Crazy. And not the kind of Crazy Patsy Cline sang about. Starting with Crazy, for more than a decade, Democratic-run cities and
Joe Biden
