There was no happy ending for Patriots' owner Robert Kraft today.

President Trump's norm-shattering posts have reset our nation's political dialogue.

The Atlantic was founded in 1857, the New York Times in 1851. So it's a bit surprising that David Brooks is leaving the Times for the Atlantic, given that the Atlantic is only six years younger.

David Brooks is leaving his position as a columnist at the New York Times to become the Atlantic's airport whiskey correspondent.

There are few things more disturbing than witnessing the government gun down your fellow citizen on a city street. The more Democrats share video of this, the more they alienate reasonable centrists.

Americans must have the right to bear arms so that they can resist tyranny. But if they exercise that right in a time of tyranny, they should expect to be shot and killed.

Trump not is advancing "one-sided narratives"--he is telling lies. You presuppose two sides, when in this situation there are not. He is telling a lie, a word that @nytimes, with all its primness & bothsidesism, refuses to use. And thus the NYT itself denies the truth.

If our administration is as racist as the Left claims, then why have the past two civilians we've murdered been white?

1441: Birthday Wish by David Groff Today’s poem is Birthday Wish by David Groff.

My gratitude to poet and memoirist Maggie Smith, host of The Slowdown podcast from American Public Media, for meditating upon and reading my poem "Birthday Wish."

Maybe today you'll wish to be more like a dog or a tree.

I haven't watched any of the videos of the shooting of Renee Good but the fact that people on the left think it was murder while people on the right think it was self-defense shows that that the truth must be somewhere in the middle.

Donald Trump says he’d be honored to have Maria Corina Machado give him her Nobel Peace Prize. Here’s 1500 words on young people’s pathetic need for participation trophies.

On the one hand, they have redacted Trump’s name from the Epstein Files. On the other hand, they have put it on the Kennedy Center.
