I’ve been working as a reporter for a long time and sorry to see my profession is unappreciated by more people then ever. I’ve made stops in Staten Island, Syracuse, Albany, Detroit, DC and Montana. Love theater and singer songwriters.

Why did Syracuse’s airport reject Kristi Noem’s video? A no-politics policy, it seems Syracuse airport officials refuse to answer questions about why they won't show controversial video.

Connecticut's Chris Freeman hit a field goal against Syracuse to force OT when the Sirius XM's broadcast stopped and switched to UAB-Navy. Just like the 1968 Jets-Raiders game when NBC pulled the telecast before the exciting ending to broadcast Heidi. Luckily ESPN showed SU's exciting overtime win.

I just got from DOJ the top secret Epstein files. However, I’m a little suspicious of their validity, as almost every sentence says (FILL IN THE NAME OF PROMINENT DEMOCRAT HERE.)

It is hard to do, but Kari Lake may have set a record for most lies in a single house hearing. Lake shows total disregard for VOA reporters she is trying to send back to home countries after they reported on bad conduct by those nations’ leaders.

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of. They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Canadians have cooled on US travel Mexico is looking like a much better option.

Canadians make up the largest proportion—nearly 28 percent—of international travelers visiting Florida. They also comprise the largest number of international visitors for the entire United States.

But that comfortable relationship may be taking a turn.
