A well-organized crime wave is sweeping across this country, and it is positioned to devastate a generation. With baby-boomers holding one-half of the nation’s wealth, their money, homes, investments, and family treasures, all thought to be destined for loved ones, are in real danger of being swept into the possession and bank accounts of strangers.

Students of color and students with disabilities in North Carolina are disproportionately reported to law enforcement, which is raising concerns about the effectiveness of school resource officers in addressing oppressive actions on campuses across the state. Despite making up less than one-third of the country’s population, Black and Latino people make up the vast majority […]

Candidates running for president will stretch the truth or even lie. In 1987, candidate Joe Biden said he graduated in the top half of his law school class when he only ranked 76th out of 85, and that is not the only untruth he’s told. In the case of Donald Trump, where are we to […]

Thirty-five years ago, syndicated columnist Cal Thomas wrote a book entitled, The Death of Ethics in America, citing (among many others) a 1987 Wall Street Journal headline, “Ethics can be nice, but they can be a handicap, some executives declare.” In the book, Thomas was effusive about the ethical standards of the founders of a country which saw itself as having a […]

When the story broke about classified documents turning up at Mar-a-Lago, a reporter friend called me and said with exasperation, “Why would he take that stuff?!” My response was, “Why wouldn’t he?” It wasn’t my first quip like this.

Georgia, a country that sits along Russia’s Southern border in the South Caucasus region, became a hot spot for […]

Two months ago, I wrote that the Manhattan indictments of Former President Trump are way more important than people recognized. If Trump didn’t pay hush money to Stormy Daniels, she could have gone public with her account of their soiree only days before the election. Given how close the 2016 race was, the chance that […]

At this vital point in American history, it’s important to stop and consider where we are headed as a country and as a people.   Some of the rhetoric and actions we see and hear are damaging and dangerous. The signs of eroding democracy are everywhere.  The rise in antisemitism is disturbing. We cannot remain silent […]

With the state legislature in session, the Democratic Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, is taking steps to speed the rapid deployment of electric vehicles, or EVs, in the state. With this in mind, I was hired by a group called Centrist Democrats of America (CDA) to conduct a survey  to determine how New Jerseyans feel about […]

Social media has taken the world by storm. According to a recent demographic study, nearly 5 billion people use social media as of 2023.

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok provide entertaining content to […]
