With the presidential election now mercifully over, and with a decisive victory for Donald Trump, it’s a good time to mull the steep decline of our mainstream media — and consider how the industry could attempt to recover. Step 1: Apologize. A Gallup poll in October found that a meager…
The Issue: The euthanasia of P’Nut, a squirrel famous on social media for his various antics, in New York. I just read the story about New York’s most wanted, P’Nut, and his caretakers (“State’s rodent rage,” Oct. 3). I’m so proud to have the Department of Environmental Conservation and Gov….
P’nut the squirrel and Liz Cheney are two bizarre closing symbols of this election campaign. If we read the tea leaves, we can see how they represent what’s really at stake on Tuesday: freedom versus authoritarianism — only it’s the reverse of what Kamala Harris has been saying. Hint: it’s…
Steak out your claim in NY Andy Warhol’s no longer here. Soon ditto for the Stone House in Montauk he frequently cited in his diaries. Cheaper than a Rembrandt, the pile on the ocean, on a bluff, is suddenly now up for grabs. Bodies that have lain in it —…
I know exactly when I grasped that Donald Trump had a chance of winning Tuesday’s election: July 26, 2023, when I watched a line of people form outside Midtown’s Roosevelt Hotel. The crowd of migrants — mostly young men and mostly Hispanic and African, with some Europeans as well —…
The Albany legislators who put Proposition 1 on our Election Day ballots should go back to the drawing board and not come back until they have an honest ballot proposal to show us. The Prop 1 we’re considering Tuesday is deceptive, malicious and sleazy. First, the bait: Prop 1 has been falsely…
Finally: Dem donation mega-website Act Blue is under the magnifying glass by the Treasury Department for apparently shady behavior. The move — reported by Rep. Jim Comer (R-Ky.), the House Oversight bloodhound chasing political corruption to the left’s chagrin — includes hundreds of transactions linked to the platform. Good news. Trouble…
Donald Trump has announced that, if elected, he will ask tech billionaire Elon Musk to lead a “government efficiency commission” that will conduct “a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government” and make “recommendations for drastic reforms.” The idea for such a commission was apparently suggested by…
What is the difference between men and women? No – that’s not one of those trick questions meant to trip-up a Democrat nominee for the Supreme Court. It’s an easy one. And it’s especially easy if you’re in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and North Carolina. Because in all of…
I am aggravated. Since I rarely reread what I’ve already finished, written, edited, suffered over, sent in and argued to defend I am usually semi-able to survive my aggravations.
