Great men rise to the moment. Lesser men don’t. President Joe Biden once again proved himself the lesser man.  His much ballyhooed Oval Office speech to ostensibly tell us why he’s not standing for re-election failed to answer that fundamental question. It wasn’t inspiring. It was just bullsh*t politics attacking the Republican standard-bearer.  Look, Mr ..read more

Sherman R. Frederick Properly Subversive/Sherman R. Frederick They said it was a cold that made Joe Biden look incapacitated during the debate, just as they earlier said videos of his decrepitness were “cheapfakes” and that behind closed doors he doesn’t look and act like an old man on his last legs.  This line of defense is becoming, pardon the pun, old.   Offensive, even.  After the horrendous debate performance, everyone knows Mr. Biden is not the man his campaign says he is. He is severely diminished. The Hur report – from Mr. Biden’s own Justice Department – confirmed ..read more

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for 10 years, together for 12. We have no children together, but I have four from a previous marriage. Two are grown and have moved out; two are still home and in high school. When we got together, my husband stepped right up and became a wonderful stepdad. He has always been a provider, a listener, an advice giver, friend, etc. He is the epitome of a great dad and husband. My family loves him, and I love him with my whole heart. There is just one small problem that has recurred throughout our marriage. Abby, he told me several years ago that he ha ..read more

A unique opportunity will encourage better relationships with people who matter to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do whatever it takes to stabilize your position within personal or business relationships on the 21st and 22nd. An opportunity to ..read more

The American union movement fought slavery with Abraham Lincoln and sweat shops alongside Mary Harris “Mother” Jones back in the day. Sherman R. Frederick Properly Subversive Unions were great … in the 1880s. Today unions don’t work. Federal and state employment laws protect workers, making the union proposition – for employers competing for the best work force and employees seeking out the best companies – useful as teats on a boar. Sorry. I know it’s considered uncool to question unions given the important early history. But that was then and now is now. The numbers don’t lie: Unions are irr ..read more

Artists have tried to teach us simple but obvious lessons since the first cave person picked up a rock to scratch on walls. Andrew Barbano Commentary Alas and alack, this monster mannunkind has proven maddeningly obtuse, mostly to our detriment. The highly honored TV series “The West Wing” (1999-2006) concluded with the election of the first minority president of the United States. Latino Matt Santos (Jimmy Smits) narrowly won the presidency over his conservative rival, Republican Sen. Arnie Vinick (Alan Alda, who won an Emmy for the role). President-elect Santos appointed the vanquished Vinic ..read more
