Donald J. Trump
It was the death rattle of the House 1-6 select investigatory committee, issuing its totally anti-climatic, non-legal-binding recommendation to the Department of Justice that it press charges against former President Donald J. Trump. I wrote the above before the hearing began shortly after 1 p.m. on Monday. In the
Friendship
Christmas is near, so I decided to go to Bethlehem. No, not the one on the West Bank. The one near Allentown. And not to celebrate a birth of an infant, but to memorialize an adult’s life ended. Dick Claussen was a dear friend, a friendship born in the
Justice
I sued the Inquirer and Inga Saffron 3 ½ years ago knowing the difficulty of prevailing in a defamation suit. As an indication of the quirkiness of the law, the first judge to hear the case, James Crumlish, ruled I was not a public figure. The last judge, Glynnis Hill, decided
Military
A friend of mine — OK, one of my lawyers — said he’d like to attend Army-Navy one of these days. (It won’t be here again, where it belongs, until 2027.) The iconic game brings million$ to the city but, more importantly, it brings patriotic spirit to Philadelphia. I had
Immigration
There’s a glimmer of hope in the Senate as Democrat Krysten Sinema of Arizona and Republican Thom Tillis of North Carolina are working on a small-bore immigration proposal, as the session comes to an end. The major points, according to reporting by the Washington Post, is to extend for

I was having a nightmare the other night, and I awoke in a cold sweat. I rushed to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face and turned on KYW NewsRadio. OMG! It wasn’t a nightmare. The identity-obsessed Helen Gym is running for mayor. First, the good news.

While I wait for kickoff…

I could never forget the birthday of one of my closest friends Dick Claussen was born in Brooklyn on the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, thrusting America into world war and into a position of leading the free world. His memorable birthday was Dec. 7. He died on the
Politics
In my book, Democrats are often driven more by emotion and identity politics than by facts, while Republicans are driven by personality and vengeance. Example: Donald J. Trump. So the very first thing they do after achieving the slimmest majority in the House is to announce an investigation into Hunter

When it comes to defense district attorney Larry Krasner, I am deeply conflicted. Not about his performance, which has been abysmal, despite one or two spots of light — such a reviewing questionable convictions, or attacking cops who lie on the stand. Knowing where he was coming from — the George Soros
Immigration
One thing for sure: When you hear our Sad Sack, clueless mayor call something “racist,” you know one of two things — it is not, and he has no better argument. So you know he’s bullshitting when he claims Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is being “cruel and racist” for bussing
Immigration
Permit me to gloat. Months ago, when I read that some dastardly Republican governors were bussing illegal undocument “migrants” from their overwhelmed border towns to Sanctuary Cities in the North, such as New York, Chicago and Washington, I complained that Philadelphia was being overlooked. I wrote an Open Letter to
