During his commencement address this month at my alma mater, Ohio State, Chris Pan admitted that he took psychedelic drugs to prepare his remarks. Watching the unhinged reaction to average commencement speeches across the country, he’s not the only one with an altered state of consciousness. Achange.orgpetition calls for firing devout Catholic Harrison Butker for delivering a Catholic commencement speech …

The Trump Mar-a-Lago lethal force claim is just stupid. But it's par for the course
Having been at the Trump trial in Manhattan for the last couple of days, I cannot say I’m surprised at former president Trump’s inane claim that President Biden authorized the use of lethal force in connection with the FBI’s execution of a court-authorized search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The claim is political red meat for conspiracy theorists. A search …

In Tuesday’s column, the question was whether former President Trump, if returned to office, can bring deterrence of our enemies back with him? The sub-headline on that column told the story and posed the question: “Since President Biden took office the Taliban took over Afghanistan, Putin invaded Ukraine, Hamas invaded Israel, Iran’s proxies have attacked Americans, and Iran attacked Israel. …

Our recent trip to the Southern border at Eagle Pass, Texas, was shocking. We saw individuals casually strolling across our wide-open border. We saw a humanitarian crisis. We saw the breakdown of law and order. And above it all, we saw an invasion of our country. We also met with local officials who told us back in 2019, the border …

President Biden’s open border policy has allowed millions of illegal aliens into the United States. Among those millions are an estimated1.7 million gotaways, those who were spotted but not caught, and some are almost certainly on our terrorist watch list. Likely, among these illegal aliens are foreign spies, here to size up this country for war and/or terrorist attacks – …

Whether they know it or not, every American actor has a Russian connection because Konstantin Stanislavsky is the father of modern acting, and in my generation the great acting teachers like Meisner, Strasberg and Stella Adler all went to school on the Stanislavsky method (“the method” as it came to be called). There was a flowering of great art in …

In the aftermath of the 2020 election, it was widely believed that the Republicans faced a fork in the road, one path to stay the party of former President Donald Trump, another to turn toward a new leader, perhaps governors like Florida’s Ron DeSantis, Virginia’s Glenn Youngkin or even Maryland’s Larry Hogan. Four years later, with another election looming, the …

All right, so the Democratic candidate for the most powerful position on earth gave a speech last night to the NAACP where he couldn’t say the name of the organization. In fairness to him, it is a whole five letters. But there he committed no less than nine errors that were later corrected by White House staffers, nine errors in …
