Charlie Kratovil, editor of New Brunswick Today, had a very interesting weekend a while back. The editor of the small local paper must have drawn the short straw to cover education conference put on by a non-profit called "Project Ready," in his publication's namesake, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, will return to high-stakes legislative wrangling on the "Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act (PDPRA) of 2019," which he co-authored with Sen. Ron Wyden, Oregon Democrat, the committee's ranking member.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has again apologized -- sort of -- for lying about being an American Indian back when it helped advance her academic legal career.
None of the programs I downloaded on my iPhone blocks the solicitation calls that outrageously invade my privacy and impel me to want the strictest possible governmental ban on all telephone sales intrusions.
Attacking ICE facilities and endangering the lives of ICE employees who faithfully enforce the laws set forth by Congress is abhorrent criminal behavior that will not be tolerated and should be universally condemned.
Now both France and the U.S. are pushing for Russia to be reinvited, and for the G-7 to once again swell to G-8. This weekend's confab could be the last one at which Russian President Vladimir Putin does not have a seat at the table.
One couldn't help but be shocked by the lack of discipline, the lowering of standards, and the destruction of traditions that had held officer trainees in good standing for decades, if not centuries. The situation has not gotten any better, and, in many ways, it is getting worse.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Democrat, said this as part of her statement after Israel announced that she and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Michigan Democrat, would not be allowed to enter the country.
The last decade has seen a new and somewhat disturbing phenomena however. The trendy political message is no longer about strengthening the United States. Instead, it is about tearing it down.
It's hard to categorize Julia Blackburn's "Time Song." It's definitely non-fiction rather than fiction, though that judgment denies that the shaping hand of an author fictionalizes everything. But let's go with the broad classification of non-fiction and fit "Time Song" into it.
Have you ever heard of Antonio Gramsci? How about Herbert Marcuse? Or the Frankfurt School? These names are probably meaningless to all but a small minority of scholars academics. Yet, Americans should become acquainted with these names if they are to understand the forces that are currently tearing society apart.
Thirty years ago two million Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians along with other nationalities living in our countries held hands in a continuous 370 mile-long human chain, and doing so moved the course of history in the direction of freedom. This event was the Baltic Way.
One of life's greatest questions is if God created all, who created God? And one of life's other greatest questions is, how can Jews vote for Democrats? President Donald Trump put it this way: They're either ignorant or disloyal. And while the media circus performers have been having lots of fun with that one, the fact is, Trump has got a point.
Every two years, Democrats and reporters talk about Texas turning blue. Indeed, Texas is the great blue hope for Democrats.

Much has written about the late Cosa Nostra Gambino crime family boss John Gotti, and there have been several films made about him.
How do people make choices? It's a complicated question that philosophers have been pondering for millennia. But it turns out that wisdom and experience can be found outside of the ivory tower and Ted Talks. For me it was working as a mall cop. Seriously.
Bernie Sanders is all about transparency. He's for transparency in charter schools. He's for transparency in campaign finance. He's even for transparency when it comes to aliens from space.
As we approach the 80th anniversary since the beginning of World War II, the U.S. media begins to hype up another round of its Russophobic campaign. The goal is to equally split the blame for the global catastrophe between Hitler's Germany and the Soviet Union, at the same time casting a shadow on modern Russia.
