On Tuesday, the judge in Donald Trump's hush money trial held the former president in criminal contempt for violating his gag order. Nine times. With a fine of $1,000 a pop. Though it's shocking that a former president doesn't appear to understand courtroom rules that anyone who has ever seen "Law & Order" could explain, there is a certain poetic justice. After all, no one loves contempt more than Donald Trump. It is his metier, his medium, his world view. Contempt for those who disagree with...
LOWELL CITY Councilor Corey Robinson’s status hearing on his two counts of assault and battery on his on-again/off-again girlfriend at her home in Dracut is set to take place Tuesday morning in a Lowell Judicial Center courtroom.
Years ago, after President Lyndon B. Johnson sent a massive force to Vietnam and initiated the American buildup against North Vietnam, I recalled a seminar I took at Stanford on Thucydides’ history of the Peloponnesian War. In a chapter on “The Melian Dialogue,” I learned that Athens had invaded Melos, a tiny island in thrall to Sparta, and put most of its civilian residents to the sword. With Melos in mind, I wrote a letter to my father who had served in the South Pacific during World War II,...
Sad to see Florian is gone. He kept going with the music well into his 90s, always broadly smiling and seeming to be singing, “Roll out the barrel, and we’ll have a barrel of fun "
It was remarkable breaking news, occurring live on CNN. The White House Correspondents Association hosted a dinner and a Biden for President rally broke out. It’s only natural that CNN loves live coverage of the White House Correspondents Dinner, where the anti-Trump media celebrate themselves for how essential they are to preserving democracy and how valiantly they warn Americans that Donald Trump is democracy's antonym. President Biden’s speech made some jokes about his age – it’s that safe...
Eight years ago, the leftist media took great offense to being dismissed by Donald Trump as “fake news,” but they never seemed to grasp this is exactly how they painted the conservative media, as truth-defying propaganda outlets. When the Trump trial turned to the National Enquirer, we could find national unity that the Enquirer defines “fake news.” The lefties are very excited to remind voters how the Enquirer was a Trump-allied tabloid full of garbage stories. But the liberal media spread...

Pro-Palestinian protests continue to spread on American campuses for one simple reason: They are working. You do not have to agree with the protesters' politics and demands — which in most cases involve universities divesting from firms that contribute to the Israeli war effort — or their methods, which include setting up tent encampments on shared spaces, to acknowledge that the demonstrations are doing exactly what student demonstrations almost always do. That is, force this country to face...
