Platner Must Exit
We need a change STAT! The Democrats are on life support, and all they can offer up is a guy with a Nazi tattoo and a string of sexual abuse accusations. C’mon, Man! We need a reboot. We need a

A July 4th Not Much to Celebrate
Last week with our 250th birthday in mind, I walked through my town of Huntington, Long Island. Settled in 1653, over a century before the Declaration of Independence, it is steeped in American history. Climbing the hill to the old

FDR’s Birthday Balls -A Birthday Celebration Worthy of a President
Everything about Trump’s tacky, self-indulgent atrocity billed as a Birthday Celebration was vulgar. The travesty was worse than we imagined. A violent, Vegas-style carousel of greased-up men duking it out Gladiator style on the White House lawn, desecrating sacred ground

This Memorial Day, Don’t Let Them Have Died in Vain
They didn’t give their lives to live in a dictatorship. They didn’t give their lives to a country that would turn against its people, deprive them of resources, finances, and health care. They didn’t give their lives to a country
