Vegas odds makers peg the Senate confirming the next SCOTUS nominee before the end of 2022 at 92 percent. The subhead under the top story in today’s Atlanta Journal Constitution noted that Democrats must work fast if they want the Court to not get “more conservative.” I laughed at that one, because it assumes the court getting more …

PUTIN: The Silent Sound of Ukraine Falling | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Let’s be clear: Russia wants Ukraine more than NATO wants it. Also, Russia’s border Ukraine is a hundred miles longer than the Florida’s coastline. Plus, Russia designed the technology and software which runs most of its power infrastructure. Oh, and Russia has about 100,000 troops sitting on the border of east Ukraine.

MANDALORIANS of Delaware and Other Stupid Authoritarian Ideas | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

As a conservative, I believe that our “rights” are not bestowed upon us as a positive reward for being useful members of society. We have them because we are imbued with human dignity by God, who is not subject to a vote or opinion poll. Therefore, government is an exercise in imperfection, since we are not …

Former Vice President Al Gore made $100 million in just twelve years after leaving office, “investing” in green energy companies.

FEAR FOR DEMOCRACY: Jimmy Carter Says Jan 6th Isn’t The Problem | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Jimmy Carter fears for our democracy. In a New York Times op-ed, Carter comes loaded with facts, not the platitudes and frankly stupid comparisons that our current president and vice president made in their official remarks. It’s a remarkable piece, and I think you should take the five minutes to read the whole thing. When you’re done, join me …

Chicago teachers union members voted (73%) to walk out rather than teach children in-person, giving their intention to teach remotely.
