We were on the way to ballet rehearsal. It’s my favorite 30 minutes of the day. It’s a chance to break away from work, and to touch base with my only child. She’s 14 now. And it won’t be long before she’s driving herself. I treasure these moments.
The most substantively outrageous presidential campaign in American history has some serious chance of success.
The latest protests in Iran by people angry over the Iranian military’s missile launch that “unintentionally” downed a Ukrainian jetliner killing many Iranians, Canadians and others, is different from past protests over rigged elections, rising gas prices, and what Americans like to call “vo…

Someone from the Poor People’s Campaign called last week, disturbed that presidential candidates haven’t pushed hard enough for a debate on poverty. I responded by rattling off the sources of disagreement between the left and center candidates, such as single-payer health coverage and free c…
A lot of times, it seems like many of us think that more money thrown at a problem will provide the answer. While money can help solve many problems, it isn’t the entire answer.
Prior to Iran's missile attacks on U.S. bases inside Iraq, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said, "We are not seeking war with Iran, but we are prepared to finish one." Esper said the U.S. prefers a "diplomatic" solution to the escalation of tensions in the region.
On the evening of Jan. 16, 1991, I sat between my fiancé, Michael, and my father on a coral-silk brocade couch in Palm Beach as we watched television in my aging uncle’s claustrophobically small and poorly air-conditioned living room. We were in Florida to celebrate my 34th birthday earlier …

Before Donald Trump began to slur his words and concoct fake verbs like “tolerize,” he declared recently that “as long as I’m president of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon…Their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We’ll never let th…
On Sunday, Norfolk received a couple of inches of snow — enough that some cars slid around and people had to scoop their sidewalks and driveways. There was a continuous light snow for several hours during the day.
The shortest world war in history is history.
WASHINGTON — One of the questions Americans must decide before they vote in November is whether they want a leader who admits his/her mistakes or claims invulnerability.
In early December, a report from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC) raised the possibility that a huge electric failure, the result of a concerted cyberattack or other event, could knock out electric supply in large swaths of the country for an extended period,

It is 2020, the start of a new year, of a new decade, of revived hope, of renewed determination. Tradition says it’s time for resolutions while reality says they seldom work. But there is, in fact, much amiss in this American nation we love, and we must fight back, peacefully, of course, but…
Picture this: On a fall Friday night, hundreds of fans gather to watch football.
The reviews of the 1619 Project are in.
Looking back at key foreign policy events of 2019, a line from Bob Dylan’s “Ballad of a Thin Man” popped into my head: “Something is happening and you don’t know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?”
On Christmas day, Greta Gerwig’s updated version of the young adult classic “Little Women” opened in theaters to great acclaim, fantastic reviews and strong box office numbers.
Ever have one of those days when nothing seems worth the bother?
