There needs to be a culture change when it comes to the treatment of elders, and it starts with the younger generation.
Op-Eds
Froma Harrop: How the little guys lose under Trump’s tax plan
Sen. John McCain was a conservative patriot who believed America was about more than money. The billionaires slobbering for more tax cuts are all about the money.
Austin Bay: Poland’s Eastern Shield: On NATO’S Eastern Flank: Part 2
Poland, next door to Ukraine, wants to deter a Russian air and ground invasion.
Rich Lowry: Don’t hate Caitlin Clark
For anyone who values the WNBA, it is self-sabotaging to treat Clark as a white interloper. She’s an incredible draw and an invariably courteous emissary for the game. She has inspired girls around the country and patiently signed their signs, jerseys and sneakers.
Sen. Peggy Rotundo: A supplemental budget that serves the people of Lewiston
Altogether, this supplemental budget — which is designed to address emergencies and keep our biennial budget in balance — dedicates more than $18 million for new mental health initiatives. This has long been a bipartisan priority and, in the wake of the Lewiston tragedy, I am glad we are taking bold steps to address mental health issues people are experiencing before they might result in acts of violence.
Clarence Page: Evanston’s reparations program, meant to attack discrimination, is accused of being discriminatory
Americans have a long tradition of offering reparations for slavery, only to see them clawed back.
Clarence Page: Dr. Anthony Fauci’s hearing gave us politics at its most paranoid
Appearing voluntarily at a House subcommittee on the very serious topic of the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci knew he would be fielding every controversial question that rose up during and after that fraught period. After all, the pandemic was a plague that affected all Americans in one way or another — and everyone seemed to have a pet theory about where it came from, what to do about it and, quite often, whom to blame for it.
Cal Thomas: Biden border order: Too little, too late, too political
Funny how President Biden had no problem using his power to cancel former President Trump’s border restrictions by executive order, but as the election nears, Biden has suddenly discovered the power to do something after all.
Froma Harrop: Biden finds muscle on securing the border
President Biden now makes clear that the Southern border can no longer serve as a workaround to U.S. immigration laws. It is good politics for him but needed policy for the country.
Froma Harrop: The Manhattan jury pool isn’t all that liberal
Manhattan is a largely a rich borough, and its Republicans have tended toward traditional conservatism. They like civic order and a strong defense. Trump is not their guy. Trying to violently overturn the results of an election is beyond the pale. And only a dangerous clown would invite Vladimir Putin to invade Europe.
