Americans Have a Lot to Be Outraged About -- The Word 'Nazis' Is Not on the List

SAN DIEGO -- As a storyteller, I remember to begin with a tale.

In August 2005, I spoke to a group of retirees in their 70s and 80s. Those were whippersnappers compared to Julie, a 100-year-old woman who approached me.

Julie wanted me to know that everything happening now -- armed masked men disregarding due process, entering homes without ...Read more

Jackson Was a Complicated and Controversial Figure, but Also Hugely Consequential

SAN DIEGO -- What I remember about the one time I met the Rev. Jesse Jackson is how it turned into a multilingual affair.

It was 1994, and I was co-hosting a nightly 9 p.m. to midnight talk show for ABC radio in Los Angeles. My co-host, Tavis Smiley, had heard from Jackson, who was in town for an event with the Rev. Al Sharpton. Tavis invited...Read more

The Washington Post Missed The Digital Revolution -- Now It's Facing the Guillotine

SAN DIEGO -- My wife is the brains of the operation, and so it's rare that she asks a question with an obvious answer.

"Why did they lay off so many people at The Washington Post?" she asked recently. I worked for the Post for 24 years as part of the now shuttered Washington Post Writers Group. So my wife knew I'd have an opinion on the ...Read more

Bad Bunny Promoted Love and Unity -- MAGA Slapped Back With Hate and Racism

Introducing the Bad Bunny backlash. On Super Bowl Sunday, the real losers were the estimated five million Americans who were so sheltered, so entitled and so used to getting their way that they fled the halftime show and went to YouTube for a whole lot of white noise.

The game is over. But the national conversation about the show put on by 31...Read more

It's Game Time, America -- and Bad Bunny Is One Bad Hombre

SAN DIEGO -- Jeffersonian patriots are bloodied but unbowed as they fight back against the Mad King's violent but futile attempts to reverse demographics, restore the cultural relevance of white people, and make America into the 1950's again.

Take heart, soldiers. Reinforcements are coming. And yes, the revolution will be televised; in fact, ...Read more

ICE Thinks It Can Purge America of Immigrants, but Demographics Would Like a Word

SAN DIEGO -- Is the siege of Minneapolis really drawing down now that there is a new sheriff in town?

You can't be serious. Personnel changes driven by public relations are usually symbolic and cosmetic, especially when the person setting the tone from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. seems as determined as ever to make America hate again.

Bovino Is a Failed Leader -- But Also the Fall Guy for Immigration Debacle

SAN DIEGO -- Now that Gregory Bovino has been jackbooted from his position as U.S. Border Patrol "commander at large" -- and unceremoniously demoted back to his former job as sector chief in El Centro, Calif. -- it's tempting to breathe a sigh of relief at the thought that evil has left the building.

Fellow Americans, you might want to hold ...Read more

Harris' Vetting of Gov. Josh Shapiro Had a Foul and Familiar Odor

SAN DIEGO -- With so much going on, it's helpful to know not just what a column is about but also what it's not about.

This column is not about whether former Vice President Kamala Harris should have chosen Pennsylvania Gov. John Shapiro as her running mate in the 2024 election, or whether the rising star in the Democratic Party would have ...Read more
