They come in all different disguises. * Protesters disrupting the Mexican restaurant meal of a Cabinet Secretary, forcing her to leave. * The owner of an innocent-sounding “Red Hen” restaurant in Lexington, Virginia boasting that she refused to serve the presidential press secretary Sarah Sanders and asked her to leave. Sanders quite politely did. Now […]
I don’t know Rob Rogers, the just-fired cartoonist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. As a Pennsylvanian I do know something about the paper. As a resident of Central Pennsylvania, these days I am a reader of Penn Live, the online version of the Harrisburg Patriot-News. But in the long ago and far away, as a campaign […]
Who’d a thunk? Actor Robert De Niro and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have teamed up to re-elect President Trump.

As America heads into a season that features a trifecta of patriotic holidays — Memorial Day, Flag Day, and the Fourth of July — Bret Baier’s Three Days in Moscow: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of the Soviet Empire is perfect holiday reading. It is history — good history — with a lesson for today as […]
