🎧 Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada talk about how what goes on in our classrooms reflects broader societal issues.
The only surprise in the guilty verdict against Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal correspondent who was arrested in Russia last year on phony charges of espionage, was that it came so quickly. The charge itself was a farce. No evidence was ever made public, the hearings were held in se…

Alas, the coronation of Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee appears complete.
Description: Kamala Harris gave her first public speech since Pres. Biden’s decision to step down from the 2024 race and endorse her as his successor — and she wasted no time going directly at Trump’s criminal and civil legal troubles
President Joe Biden's belated nod to reality turns the presidential race into a sprint, with his Democratic Party positioned well behind the starting blocks.
Joe Biden began his national political career in 1972, improbably ousting a Republican senator in Delaware at the age of 29. Biden was so young that he was elected before he was old enough, per the Constitution, to serve in the Senate. He turned 30 on Nov. 20 of that year, enabling him to ta…

It’s an election year, and the presidential nominee and running mate of one of your nation’s two main political parties routinely express deep hostility to electric cars (and boats, but also sharks?) and vow to end any government favors to your industry.
Kamala Harris is the likely Democratic candidate to take on Donald Trump in the US election after Joe Biden’s decision to step aside.
Prominent names from both sides react to President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 race and endorse Vice President Harris.
The Republican National Convention ended late Thursday night, pushing my deadline to the limit. I wanted to watch the whole four-day show, sampling coverage by the major networks and cable news sources before attempting to offer some cogent observations. To begin with a summary, it was a wel…
When I wrote last week’s column, I was feeling pretty glum about things. I still am. In fact, things have gotten even worse in the seven days that have passed since I wrote last week’s column. What I had not expected was the attempt to assassinate former president Trump by a deranged person …

Before heading off to North Korea last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a “peace” offering to Ukraine. He pledged an immediate cease-fire and peace negotiations if Ukraine withdraws from four partially occupied regions and abandons its bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Whether you know it or not, someone you know and love has had an abortion. My older sister had an abortion to stop bleeding. My abortion was at 19 weeks when the fetus membrane ruptured. Forty to fifty years ago, we didn’t talk about abortions, like ours, as a healthcare issue.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, battle fatigues at change of command at one of the most prestigious arsenals in the U S.? Class A uniform NO EXCEPTIONS. Only thing missing was “Battle Rattle.” This ceremony was a slap in the face to the troops.
Two comments after the Republican Convention.
We were all taught from the get-go that in America no one is above the law, even the president. But six members of the Supreme Court dishonored their oath of “equal rights to the poor and the rich” with the asinine ruling of presidential immunity. The same Supreme Court that has never passed…
