'Decentralized Surveillance:' Home items are getting smarter and creepier
NEW YORK (AP) — One day, finding an oven that just cooks food may be as tough as buying a TV that merely lets you change channels. Internet-connected “smarts” are creeping into cars, refrigerators, thermostats, toys and just about everything else in your home. CES 2019, the gadget show opening Tuesday in Las Vegas, will […]

A dangerous intersection
It was interesting to read the article (Jan. 9) about Gail Shelley’s experience with her surveillance camera at the stop sign at the intersection of Park Avenue, Lake Street and Gamage Avenue. My husband and I began our married life in an apartment at the same corner. We were amazed at the number of accidents […]

Politicians: Do what is best for America
Despite advance billing that President Trump’s border wall speech would break news and contain new information, it was mostly familiar rhetoric: criminals and drugs, rapists and murderers are coming to America and the wall is the only way to stop them. The president named families who have lost loved ones at the hands of undocumented […]

Democrats' stance on the 'wall' hypocritical
WASHINGTON — Barring some miraculous breakthrough, on Saturday the current government shutdown will become the longest in American history. But it has already hit another historic milestone: It is, by far and away, the stupidest government shutdown in American history. In 2019, the federal government will spend a whopping $4.407 trillion. Yet Congress and the […]

It's time for Congress to curb the powers of the president
NEW YORK — Watching the struggle over funding for a border wall, I am struck by the way in which, in one sense, Donald Trump has already achieved success. He has been able to conjure up a crisis out of thin air, elevate this manufactured emergency to national attention, paralyze the government and perhaps even […]

Right wing cranks up the hate machine
Haven’t we seen this movie before? Certainly, there is a sense of deja vu all over again as one watches the right wing hyperventilate over a certain freshman congresswoman from New York. The attacks on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been frequent and furious, but also petty, silly and (in the mental-health sense) hysterical. Just days ago, […]

New Democrats show surprising lack of discipline
By Ed Rogers Special to The Washington Post Writing in The Washington Post recently, columnist Dana Milbank made the point: “It’s time for Democrats to be the grownups.” But on matters large and small, it appears that they cannot escape their own shallowness and they are stuck in early adolescence. We are only in the […]

Questions to ask an active candidate
By Jennifer Rubin The Washington Post In 2016, Republicans foolishly talked themselves into dispensing with character or qualifications as a consideration for presidents. Since the election they’ve felt compelled to defend President Trump and his horrible words and actions, no matter how racist, cruel, dishonest, narrow-minded, stubborn, narcissistic, disloyal, thin-skinned or vulgar. If nothing else, […]

Changing the law by breaking it
President John F. Kennedy was one among many to remind us that America’s is “a government of laws, not of men.” That truism underpinning our system of justice has been built into our federal and state governments since before we had either. In 1780, John Adams based the constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on […]
