Where are the heroes?

Columnists

Following the tragic mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, that resulted in the deaths of four individuals, including a New York City Police Department officer, we must confront a vital question: Where were the heroes? Reports indicate that the shooter walked from the curb to the entrance of 345 Park Avenue, a distance estimated at between 50 feet to 100 feet, with his assault rifle held out to his side. He approached the entrance during peak hours at 6:28 p.m., attracting the attention of numerous bystanders before entering the building and discharging his weapon. In the ...

Nixon, ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Apprentice’

Columnists

Nostalgic much? Sometimes the movies, television shows and disgraced political figures leave an enduring mark on you. The Godfather, The Apprentice, and former President Richard Nixon all do that for me. Yet, I see them all coming back now. I can always find a comparison between my favorite movie of all-time,The Godfather, and almost anything else that occurs today. For example, President Donald Trump often makes “offers that people (universities) cannot refuse.” Isn’t that true, Columbia and Brown universities — and others? Or like Michael Corleone in The Godfather, Trump ...

Joining the woke brokers

Columnists

Some fads end slowly, taking up to a generation to wane. Others are like lightning, bursting on the scene unexpectedly, destroying all in its path. This is what has happened in the Sydney Sweeney storm. An ad for American Eagle blue jeans and especially the reaction to it catapulted the 27-year-old actress to national fame and controversy. Move over Taylor Swift! In case you weren’t paying attention, the ad shows Sweeney reclining while zipping up a pair of jeans and flashing a little cleavage. What sparked the woke left’s attention and outrage was the ad copy which invoked a ...

In announcing that it turns out there WILL be a larger-than-predicted surplus to start fiscal year 2026 in West Virginia, Gov. Patrick Morrisey said “We’re saving money, we’re running government more efficiently, and we’re making decisions to say when we’re going to spend money, let’s make sure we spend it on the things that really matter and drive economic growth.” So what really matters? A few studies released recently might give us some clues. West Virginia is 46th in the country for state health care systems, according to WalletHub — ranking 49th for cancer rate, ...

More socialist mayors?

Columnists

I live in New York City. “Proud Democratic Socialist” Zohran Mamdani is likely to be my next mayor. I’m not happy about it. But I am outnumbered. Mamdani is popular. He won more primary votes than any other candidate in the city’s history. Minneapolis may also elect a socialist mayor. Why?! How deluded can voters be? In my new video, I explain why their socialist ideas are destructive. Mamdani mocks those of us who fear socialism. He says socialism just means that the state “provides whatever is necessary for its people to live a dignified life.” Sounds ...

Which scandal is defined as a ‘distraction’?

Columnists

There’s something funny in scandal politics when people accuse each other of pushing a “distraction.” So if Donald Trump tries to change the subject to Russia collusion-hoaxing, it’s a “distraction” from the media’s energetic Jeffrey Epstein obsession. All this really proves is that the liberal media elites get unhappy whenever anyone tries to offer a different topic than the one they demand we all be magnetically focused on. The networks don’t want any contrary new information added to their narrative on how Trump won in 2016 with Russian assistance — if you’re not ...
