Brilliant: Let’s haul the National Guard into the New York subway

Citizen Trump: The movie

It's been three years of theft of the baseline safety and economic survival customary to our great nation.  Three years of weeknights watching the news in horror while mustering the energy to prepare for the next workday ahead. ...

Friars Club closure in New York closes many doors

The repertoire of chopping down our history has surpassed just the matter of taking down statues, changing street signs, and renaming military bases. Now, we can add historical buildings - especially ones that continue to promote laughter. Fo...

Maybe the migrants can demand police presence in New York

New York is the only place I ever felt at home.  The red brick buildings, brownstones, statues, stores with the roll-up doors over a hundred years old were like one big painting.  The East River and the Hudson served as frames....

Homeless people read code

Homelessness is an individual lifestyle and a collective culture.  Life on the street is each homeless individual's personal story and is also the overall homeless population's combined stories.  The circumstances original...

The new Norman Rockwell

Art must imitate life.  Norman Rockwell's paintings are now offensive and "unsafe" because the images they portray are deemed to be undeserving, ill-gotten gains at best and evil exclusionary rituals at worst.  ...

With Republicans Like These, Who Needs Democrats?

Reagan’s famous refusal to “exploit his opponent’s lack of experience” was a class method of swatting away the petty political poking of using age as an automatic determiner of ability. Just as everything once old becomes new ...

The normalization of random neighborhood assaults

Thursday morning, on Nov. 3, 2022, I listened to the 1010 WINS radio station, here in New York City. The extent to which New York’s gubernatorial candidates were focusing on crime was the topic. Then the morning host made a stateme...

Media are the new bad boyfriend

Whether you are the supportive family member, friend, or the dedicated damsel herself, we all know the bad boyfriend repertoire.  The beginning romantic relationship is layered with sensationalized promises — until one day, an innocuo...

Every Ottawa truck driver is Steve McQueen

“Where is the fight now?” The news about Chris Barber’s arrest and the Canadian truckers’ response of retreat just broke when I asked this to two delivery guys in an elevator ride who were talking about Ottawa. Their su...

Academic intellectuals are worse than the Taliban

Many people like to pose questions when getting to know someone.  I was recently asked by a potential suitor what I think about the state of affairs in the world.  We are living in times when even a rainstorm could be given nuance...

NeverTrump Republicans disgrace themselves more every day

The GOP could hold a fundraiser by having a contest for the most condemning anti-Trump quote.  My personal favorite of the moment is by National Review editor Rich Lowry, who wrote a column in the New York Post with this quote: ...

What President Trump should do should he win his second term

The morning of Nov. 4 was the de facto start for the second term of the Trump administration. That morning, President Trump suspended America's MAGA pep rally and quieted his cheers about beefing up our military, our economy, an...

Building the bridge of America's history

With no shared, nonpartisan "bridge" for our shared, nonpartisan history, the facts of our history are at risk of dying from the virus of Karl Marx.  I propose a film series to serve as a foundational baseline of America's his...

The left's new truths in the Age of Wokeness

Dale Carnegie didn't do it.  Neither did Tony Robbins.  The dregs of society are now showing up somewhere on time, speaking audibly, and engaging in physical labor without suing or filing workman's comp.  Let...

Will the left hit bottom?

I once watched a family pleading in unison, begging my supervisor for help.  Repeatedly, they asked him why he wouldn't readmit their son for inpatient treatment.  In my head, I tried to solve the puzzle of what was going...

Why thoughtcrime? Why not crime crime?

"Leopards don't change their spots."  I hate hearing that.  By the time the pseudo-soothsayer gets halfway through saying the word "leopard," I have to bite my lower lip to keep from ridiculing him for that...

The only impeachment explanation that makes any sense

I cracked the code for the coup.  It's been impossible to escape the non-impeachment hearing hearings.  Even for me, a self-employed single in Manhattan immersed in survival, these Democrats with their trial have reached me on...

Life as a Trump-Supporting Female in Manhattan

As that rarest of species in Manhattan – a single female and therapist who supports the policies of Donald Trump – I am routinely informed by my dates and peers that, in addition to my common, domestic lifestyle, I am "destroying the...
