Opinion | I want to support Trump. He keeps making that harder for me. I’m deeply concerned that Trump’s second term, if elected in 2024, would not be the one that millions of Americans voted for in 2020.

Joe Biden’s Superfans Think the Rest of America Has Lost Its Mind Bewildered by tepid enthusiasm for a president they see as transformative, these Democrats occupy a lonely place in U.S. politics: β€œI feel like I’m the only one.”

Yes, that is exactly what we think. And we’re right…

The economy is roaring. Immigration is a key reason. Momentum in the job market picked up aggressively over the past year β€” all while Washington is deadlocked on a border deal.

Well, duh…

Bullet-riddled body found in Spain was Russian defector, Ukraine says Maksim Kuzminov flew a Russian military helicopter into Ukraine to defect with great fanfare last year. Pro-government Russians bloggers have celebrated the killing.

Looks like Trump’s hero Don Vladimir is dealing with all the family business…

Opinion | Why not pay teachers $100,000 a year? What matters most for student learning? Top-quality educators. If we want those, we need to pay them like true professionals.

I keep seeing this, and I have to ask: Why are the beers ON the fridge instead of in the fridge? It seems like your way, not only will they not stay cold, but short people can’t reach them. Which I guess is good, if we’re talking kids. But otherwise, unfair….

Trump has no immunity from Jan. 6 prosecution, appeals court rules Trump has claimed that former presidents cannot be prosecuted for actions related to their official duties, unless impeached and convicted by Congress first.

I certainly hope the court added, β€œWe mean, like, duh… He’s obviously the most culpable creature on the planet. Pay attention, people…”
