RED WAVE: Not the Republicans We Need | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

A crowd laughed at Republican Kari Lake’s joke about Paul Pelosi’s skull being fractured by a hammer-wielding homeless man in his own own. What people are willing to laugh at, and what they’re willing to ignore, in service to what Nietzsche called a “will to power,” says a lot about what they think about their fellow humans. …

You like the movie “Aliens”? I do. Besides masterful performances from heroine Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, the late Bill Paxton (Hudson), Michael Biehn (Hicks), Lance Henriksen (Bishop, the “synthetic life form”), Paul Reiser (Burke)—and the rest of the cast—and being one of the few examples of a movie sequel that’s better than its original (“The …

I’ve been ruminating about writing a second look at Walker for a while now. I know that it will trigger a large segment of my readers (many of you relish having your triggers pulled by me; so be it). But here’s the facts. Herschel Walker always had a good chance of winning. I wrote as much in …

ABRAMS: So Suppressed | Steve Berman

ABRAMS: So Suppressed | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

President of United Earth Stacey Abrams has consistently claimed that Georgia suppresses voters, because otherwise she’d be governor. Even while pretending to deny being an election denier, as she did in last week’s debate against Gov. Brian Kemp, Abrams holds that Georgia has a systemic problem with keeping people from voting. It would be a good argument if it …

Some lessons are quicker than others. It took Americans two hours and four minutes to learn. That’s the time separating American Airlines flight 11 takeoff from Boston and the crash of flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. We learned that hijackers can’t be assumed to offer a bargain for the lives of passengers. And now it’s …

WINNING: Voting for Crappy Candidates for the Glory of the Party | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Voters are in a bad mood (apologies to my brother Jay; I cribbed his phrase). In some races, all the candidates are trash. I talked to a friend this week as we endured a staccato string of attack ads from both sides in the Georgia race for U.S. Senate, who said it’s more important to …

VENEGANCE: Did Russia Shoot Its Last Cruise Missiles? | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

As all the news is covering, Vladimir Putin ordered at least 75 missiles fired on Ukrainian cities, targeting civilian centers, energy production and utilities as vengeance for damage to the Kursk Bridge which links Crimea to Russia. Just a month ago, we were reading that Russia has less than 200 Iskander missiles left, and that Putin’s forces were using old S-300 …

HE INHALED: The Unbearable Humiliation of Being Biden | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

President Joe Biden’s having a whole humble pie this Friday. The AP’s lede paragraph noted “the failure of one of his biggest and most humiliating foreign policy gambles,” when the president fist-bumped Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and got nothing on oil production.  The Saudis are playing oil hardball, still stung by Biden’s public rebuke on …
