There's a 2024 Angle to Menendez Brothers Saga
WASHINGTON -- Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon is the sort of progressive prosecutor who thinks it is his job to curb mass incarceration. Last week, the L.A.

Why I'm Voting for Donald Trump
WASHINGTON -- Joe Biden is a much better person than Donald Trump. But that didn't keep Biden's poll numbers from tanking -- and ultimately driving him off the 2024 campaign trail.

Previously Unchallenged, Harris Had to Answer to '60 Minutes'
WASHINGTON -- Asking Kamala Harris about the historic surge at the southern border during most of President Joe Biden's tenure, "60 Minutes" anchor Bill Whitaker wondered if it was "a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as you did."

Debate Was a Big Media Narrative-Buster -- Showing Substance, Vance Won

ABC Moderators Go After Trump. Harris Remains Blurry
WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump walked onto the debate stage in Philadelphia deeply aware that he should show undecided voters that he is focused on issues and not his list of grievances.

Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty. The President Should Pardon Him
WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden has said he will not pardon his son Hunter, who pleaded guilty to nine felony and misdemeanor tax charges Thursday in Los Angeles.
I hope Biden relents on his no-pardon pledge before the younger Biden spends a night behind bars. My guess is that's the president's plan -- to flip and pardon his son after the ...Read more

Kamala Harris Has a Message for America! She Is Not Donald Trump
CHICAGO -- Kamala Harris on Thursday shared with America what she often heard from her late mother as the now-vice president was growing up: "Never do anything half-assed."

In Chicago, Democrats Veer Left
CHICAGO -- Day Two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago confirms this much: With Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's nominee, Democrats are not moving to the middle.

Kamala Harris Is No Joe Biden. Or Is She?
CHICAGO -- As delegates and the media descend on the Windy City for the Democratic National Convention, Kamala Harris not only has to energize the base; she also has to convince the rest of America that she can mend a moribund economy and keep order as parts of the country seem hell-bent on chaos.
