Time to end sanctuary cities

And so, the Trump administration begins. The newly inaugurated president has set an extraordinarily high bar for his second term, with executive orders to secure the border, increase fossil fuel production, end the federal government’s DEI programs, revive the economy, and much more.

Trump’s slap in the face to his strongest supporters

In the days immediately following his decisive victory, President-elect Donald J. Trump was cruising right along.

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…
