All the "dumb" GOP governors The real question, of course, is whether these politicians are truly dumb, or just playing a cynical role that makes them sound dumb to a majority of Americans, but enhances their reputation with the core group of Republicans who vote for them, often against their own self-interest. The willfully dumb.

Bobby B, Lebron, Elon and Tom Wolfe What do Bobby Bonilla, Lebron James, Elon Musk and Tom Wolfe have in common? They were all on a list on my phone. I figured if these names were on a list of newsmakers, I should at least tell people why.

George says he wants to do it ...as a Republican George Pataki is running for president as a Republican, but not any kind of Republican we've seen in the 21st century. For one thing, he thinks global warming is real. The GOP is old, but hardly grand. It's lost its mind and sold its soul. The onetime Party of Lincoln is not even the Party of Ford.

And So it Went: A week of do-overs for Donald Donald Trump is a threat, an insult, a slur, a lie, a boast, an absurdity waiting to happen anytime he speaks. Life to him is one, big do-over. Any Republican with a shred of decency and self-respect, not to mention common sense, should have abandoned him months ago. Series: 2016 election (22 Articles, 33140 views)

The shame of being Kevin McCarthy Kevin McCarthy is a leader held hostage to the whims of those who have no interest in governing. Truth has no purchase in today's Republican Party. The rabble rule and "leaders" seek their approval out of sheer ego and cowardice.

Good news from back page to front They're starting to play baseball this month. Also, there has been a dramatic shift in the way Americans view the use of force by police. This is good news, for the front page as well as the back page.

On growing up with real presidents Recently, a group of historians rated an era that included my first 28 years alive as the best stretch of presidents in the history of America. Wow. Now I know why I felt so strongly about the previous guy. History tells me I was right. Trump was an insult to the office.
