Comedian Jeff Dunham got a lot of mileage out of portraying his cranky, cantankerous Walter as Joe Biden. He just put aviators on him. Biden gave him all sorts of material; all he had to do was regurgitate it. I wonder if he could transition Walter into Bernie Sanders. The VT Senator is a cranky ... Read more

America is committing national suicide. Only an inside job could overcome the Founders’ placing the power in the people’s hands, per Article I of the Constitution. This power has been usurped by the Executive and Judicial branches. Even the eternal promise of the Bill of Rights, listing God-given, inherent rights to lock the door on ... Read more

Someone asked me about the weird light outside in the afternoon. It was yellow-orange, almost as weird as the light during a partial lunar eclipse. Wildfire smoke, I said. What’s the problem?

For nearly half a century, Israel and Iran have defined themselves partly through mutual hostility.

Does CNBC’s “Best States” ranking make any sense? Yogi Berra famously said of a once favorite Yankees hangout, “Nobody goes there anymore.

It is unclear why the DOJ appears reluctant to intervene in the invasion of Chinese-connected illegal marijuana grow sites across the country.
