  • Life and Life Only

    A good memoir should be more than an autobiography and less than a confessional but contain elements of both. As a reader, I am less interested in being overwhelmed with family trauma and pathos except when it informs the greater tale being told. Quite often, it is the memoirs that feature an excess of pathos More

  • Letters to the Editor: Trump lies all the time. Biden has lied before. There's a difference

    To the editor: Buried more than 20 paragraphs into your article on the presidential candidates' instances of dishonesty and mistakes, there is a statement by Joe Biden that is propped up as a lie that justifies this comparison to Donald Trump. President Biden's "lie"? That he visited ground zero in New York the day after 9/11, when he actually went nine days later. Contrasting this misstatement with the torrent of lies and malicious fabrications that flow nonstop from former President Trump, and...

  • EXCLUSIVE: Priests for Life's Frank Pavone on 2024, Pro-Life Divisions, and Why Pres. Trump Is on Point

    It was a pleasure speaking with Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and Missionaries of the Gospel of Life, President of the National Pro-life Religious Council, and Pastoral Director for Rachel's Vineyard and Silent No More. Fr. Pavone carries many mantles, but all under the focus of educating and equipping clergy and the pro-life movement on the value of Life and how to be a faithful, knowledgeable and cogent advocate for Life.

  • Joe Biden lies and lies and lies because he's never had to pay any price

    President Joe Biden lies about everything: the economy, Israel, Nelson Mandela and more. It’s up to voters to may him pay the price in November.

  • Wait, Trump Is Sticking With The No Sex Claim?

  • Inside the bizarre life of Australia's very own Donald Trump

    An Australian man who was named Donald Trump at birth and now spends his life impersonating the former US President says he plans on eventually running the country.

  • Letter: Don’t believe the lies, Trump is a criminal

    Perhaps the author of a recent letter understands how Donald Trump’s attorney general, Bill Barr, put his finger on the scales of justice numerous times and that Trump has promised to do so if reelected, since he believes that’s what presidents do (“Biden is a dictator using agencies to ruin Trump,” Star-Advertiser, April 16). Of course, he laughingly denies Trump ever did it. See the Mueller report or Michael Cohen or Geoffrey Berman as proof of the fact.

    Trump's lie that Biden is behind his criminal trials should be challenged by Democrats

    We can expect that former president and criminal defendant Donald Trump is going to claim every day — maybe even multiple times a day — that his criminal trial scheduled to begin in Manhattan on Monday was orchestrated by President Joe Biden. Trump used that line of attack at a rally five days before a Manhattan grand jury indicted him on New York state charges on March 30, 2023. Trump said the imminent charges were part of “the Biden regime’s weaponization of our system of justice.” He’s...

  • Vince McMahon's life after WWE: Kittens, vacations and staying in touch with Trump

    As he faces a mountain of legal woes, former WWE leader Vince McMahon is traveling, eating out and keeping in touch with friends and associates — including former President Donald Trump. McMahon resigned as executive chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment’s parent company almost three months ago after a former employee, Janel Grant, accused him in a bombshell lawsuit of sexual abuse and trafficking. He denied the allegations. McMahon, 78, is also facing a federal criminal investigation,...

  • Trump's trial is about more than sex and money. It's about what presidents 'can get away with'

    The adult film star. The betraying bagman. The brash billionaire. The plot reads like a "Sopranos" episode, a shadowy narrative of a nation’s sins and troubling divisions, its characters converging in a New York courtroom where, for the first time in history, a former president will stand before a jury in a criminal trial. Donald Trump is giving the country another unruly moment to mark. There have been so many over the years — the Jan. 6 insurrection, the failed pandemic response — that they...
