I know many of my friends and fellow writers respect Chris Christie for his dogged determination to tell the world how bad Donald Trump is. Many also respect Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who indicted Donald Trump plus a posse of his closest chums on Georgia RICO charges to overthrow the 2020 election; she is singlehandedly responsible for …

Ignorance, lack, struggle, death. There you go: The Existentialist’s Guide to the Galaxy, lol, nothing matters. Earth has made another lap around the star, so if you’re marking it on a cave wall like Tom Hanks’ character in “Castaway,” it’s 3,652,500,000,000 days minus one before the sun dies—or if we pay down our national debt at a …

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stood at a lectern before a group of U.S. Senators and was told to shut up and go sit at the kids table. The New York Times reported on the event: Sen.

If you have never read Mark Twain’s “The War Prayer,” you should read it now. Twain never published the 897-word essay while he was alive; perhaps he couldn’t find a proper venue to print his scathing satire against America’s imperial wars that gave us possession of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. According to his …

The Koch network, Americans for Prosperity, in a memo from its AFP Action PAC threw its support behind Nikki Haley, calling her “a candidate who can turn the page and win.” Haley has surged in New Hampshire polling, putting actual daylight between her and the GOP peloton consisting of Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, and the despicable Vivek …
