The man who crowned himself a king says that he has no ego. A graduate of Washington D.C.’s American University with a degree in marketing, Allan Domb coined the term Condo King to brand himself. Unlike brands that are built on bologna, Domb’s walk backs up his
Culture
I am awake, I am not Woke. Thanks to loving, kind parents, my sister and I were taught there was injustice in the world -- racial, economic, and other -- and we should do what we could to fight it. (My parents were a mother and a father, not a

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson is not a journalist. His employer has bragged admitted that, and that he can’t be believed. Fox News lawyers said that in court. The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts&
Drugs
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
Jim Kenney
This won’t take long. It’s a simple object lesson of progressives identifying a problem and then throwing far too much money at correcting it. Case in point: In Mayor Jim Kenney’s final (thank God) budget, he’s calling for free SEPTA passes for Philadelphians mired in poverty.
Education
The diversity chickens are coming home to roost and diversity is destroying quality at Philadelphia’s top school — Julia R. Masterman. Using somewhat softer language, that is the conclusion of a group of Masterman parents who issued a 51-page report that begins this way: “The Julia R. Masterman Laboratory and

He never voted until he was 30, former City Councilman David Oh tells me, sheepishly, as he sits for an interview in Chinatown’s EMei restaurant. Voting wasn’t a thing in Southwest Philadelphia where he grew up, he says, adding that he was intimidated by the voting procedures. His

I like dogs, and I like cops. Assuming they are good dogs, and good cops. And I have read and researched cases where cops have freaked out when approached by a strange dog, drawn their weapons and fired. This often happens when cops are in a home trying to arrest
Russia
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

People are permitted to change their mind about their convictions, but they should have a good reason for the change. According to Gov. Josh Shapiro in a broadcast interview, he said he abandoned his long-held belief in capital punishment in part because his son asked a question he could not
Race
It was bound to happen. If you are a white person and don’t loudly and endlessly proclaim that you are “anti-racist,” then you are a racist to the Woke. If you are a white person and have actually done things to help Black people, then you are derisively slurred

No, I am not going to run for mayor (again). While a Daily News columnist I ran several times as a satire of mayor elections. It gave me a platform from which I could put some ideas on the table. I am going to do that again, without the political
