Elected officials never talk about lithium batteries unless there's something else they don't want to talk about. 

Lithium batteries have been exploding for years. In 2017 it made the news because the batteries were blowing up airplanes. There were 18 incidents. Thirty-one in 2016. Sixteen in 2015.

Bad ol' lithiums are old news. But this week, because Gov. Hochul didn't want to talk about the out of control crime in New York City streets, she announced breaking...

In the TV show "Any Day Now," Mary Elizabeth is a tomboy who can throw a baseball like a boy, spike a football, and beat up the class bully.

Her mother didn't have her change her gender. She taught her manners, and M.E.'s brash nature never changed. And it worked.

She was an ardent civil rights proponent from the time she was a little girl. Her best childhood friend in 1962 Alabama was Rene, who was black, and they were lifelong friends.

There used to be a ti...

How bad do you have to feel that you want to make everyone else miserable for being themselves?

Apparently pretty bad.

Chief Diversity Officer Dr. Sherita H. Golden issued a message in the Johns Hopkins Medicine's January newsletter, which included a list of descriptions of who are "privileged," with "Privilege" as the diversity word of the month.

"Privileged is an unearned benefit given to people who are in a specific social group," Golden's message read.

To have a lawsuit, you have to have had a harm. A car hit your car. You tripped and fell on a defendant's defective sidewalk. Donald Trump's trial in New York City isn't one of those. The Donald is accused of inflating the value of his properties to secure bank loans.

The problem is that no banks were defrauded. No bank complained about any Trump real estate transaction, or sued him. In all instances, the properties in question were deliberately misevaluated by the cou...

Leaving no stone unturned, the Left has invaded creativity. The result? You don't need it. Creativity. To be considered for an Oscar.

When writing, directing, producing a film, just check off the necessary boxes, and there you have it. Ask your crew what their sexual identity is. Or if they're disabled. That will go over big. Oh, and don't forget marketing and publicity. No all-white. Mix it up.

Make sure your actors are members of neglected, ignored and marginaliz...

You can give whatever you want, to whomever you want, whenever you want, but every once in a while there should be a fact check. 

Lately there has been a spate of ads for Feeding the Children. All the children. Everywhere. Why? Why aren't their parents feeding them? I did on a shoestring and so did our parents.

And by the way, how long have children in Africa been starving? And how long has the Middle East been at war? Centuries. There comes a time when it's time...

One thing Trump was responsible for during his time as president, was making the radical liberals come out into the daylight.

And have they ever. Anti-Semitism is rampant. Hatred for white people has never been so popular.

At a time of year when great  holiday movies that uplift the spirit are played again, The Bishop's Wife, The Bells of Saint Mary, It's a Wonderful Life, the black community has produced The American Society of Magical Negroes, which is desc...

When Ukraine President Zelenski acts like a teenager in a hissy fit, why are we giving him more money, when none of us want to?

Thus far, the pushy, obnoxious little man has received $113 billion from the United States. Biden hauled Zelenski over here this week to beg for some more. And Joe gave him $200 million. Can he do that?

Is it poor form to mention that no one can tell us where the money we have already given Zelensky has gone, what it has been used for, a...

As Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does."

This week New York Gov. Hochul said, "We can save the city!" Impressive? Not really. Hochul wasn't talking about cleaning up the homeless tents dominating New York streets. Or asking President Joe to close the border. Or to tackle, once and for all, the arrest and prosecution of criminals who are terrorizing New York City.

Hochul was plugging the $15 Congestion Pricing for all drivers entering the city in lower Man...

It had to tick them off, but when the Melania Trump attended Rosalynn Carter's funeral, she stood out from the crowd.

She was invited. They (the media and other First Ladies) expected she wouldn't be. But Mrs. Carter, a smart and kind lady, arranged that she would. So what could the media do?

They criticized her for wearing a tweed, not all black, coat. That was the best they could come up with, although CNN couldn't resist including her husband's legal problems...
