Charen: How to be grateful despite Trump

How is everybody coping with the decline of America? I’ll tell you how I’m doing in a bit, but first I have a few observations about Thanksgiving. I wish I had a dime for every time I’ve heard someone declare that Thanksgiving is their favorite holiday. I used to say it myself, before I realized…

Hart: My annual ADD list of what I’m thankful for

It has been an epic year for us humor/opinion writers. At this point in the year, I give thanks for those buffoons, reprobates, scalawags, the demented and DEI disasters who made my job easier in 2024. For the last year, all I had to do was read the newspaper out loud on stage to get…

Trump builds his cabinet and other election observations

It is fun to watch the left go hyperbolic over Trump’s big presidential win. They bought into the echo chamber of lies fed to them by the mainstream media. I am not sure if they are mad at the leftist media for misleading them or at Trump. Either way, it is fun to watch.  Ratings…

Not all lies are created equal

It never ends. The press still does not know how to handle the avalanche of lies that is MAGA’s chief contribution to our national life. I understand, sort of. It’s dull and time-consuming to bird-dog every false accusation, wild assertion or factual misstatement that comes out of Trumpland. “They’re controlling the weather” is just the…
