Supreme Court
I rarely do two consecutive columns on the same subject, but there was something uniquely unAmerican about the nature of the attacks against (now) Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Yesterday I commented on a vile racial attack from a so-called Black intellectual. Today, it’s the far Left and
Supreme Court
The ill-starred assassination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett by Democrats failed, as it should have. The ill-starred assassination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh by Democrats failed, as it should have. The ill-based assassination of Judge Merrick Garland by Republicans succeeded, and shouldn’t have. Taking the last first, we’ll never

With the real World Series taking the night off, a lot of America tuned into Game 7 of the World Series of Politics, the last mano a mano event of the 2020 presidential season. Neither was the home team, but the GOP suited up the Good Donald J. Trump, the

As regular readers know, I have major differences with Philadelphia D.A. Larry Krasner, especially with his non-enforcement or light enforcement on selected defendants. Whether they get potential first-degree homicide charges greatly knocked down or gun charges that should result in jail being brushed off, they catch undeserved breaks. Lady

Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, one of the last truth-telling moderate Democrats, analyzed some of his colleagues' hankering to pack the U.S. Supreme Court on Bill Hemmer’s show on (gasp) Fox News Channel. Why the gasp? Well, admitting I watch Fox, and that Rendell would appear there.

Thursday night, two networks offered a choice at 8 p.m.: Town halls with former Vice President Joe Biden on ABC; and with President Donald J. Trump on NBC. If you could watch only one, which would it be? Me? Trump, of course, to maximize the chance of seeing or
Face masks
Let’s admit there is something about face mask requirements that really doesn’t add up. Some of you won’t agree, but most people understand that masks offer some degree of protection. You can argue about how much, but would you be happy if your surgeon and OR staff

Nyet to Donald J. Trump. No man, to Joe Biden. I can’t vote for either of them. In fact, I didn’t. I voted by mail and passed on the males. Why? Trump? I don’t have all day to list the reasons. Here are a few off the

I’ve got to confess: For safety’s sake I set up a plexiglass shield between me and the TV. OK — that’s a joke, but so were the oval barriers between Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris. Although the set was the same as for the last

I don’t ask a whole lot from politicians who represent me. Basically, don’t behave any worse than I do, don’t steal, cheat, or lie. You must be an adult. Brian Sims could not handle it. He was elected in 2012 to represent me and 65,509 other

2020 keeps throwing knuckleballs at us in an unending series of plot twists that would rival a Hollywood scriptwriter munching on wild mushrooms for lunch. But scriptwriters have to respect their audience. The willing suspension of belief the audience allows will last just so long. The fabulous success of the

Remember in 2007, when Joe Biden said this, about the man who would later beat him in the presidential race: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." It
