Within a few months after a 4-year old shot his mother from the back of a pick-up truck while she was driving, a 2-year-old sitting in the backseat of a car shot and killed his mother while she was driving. Predictably, Hillary Clinton called this incident a senseless tragedy that highlighted the need for stricter…

In response to a recent question about Donald Trump calling her “Crooked Hillary,” Hillary Clinton said, “He can say whatever he wants to say about me; I really could care less.” Now I’m no William Safire or Edwin Newman,  or any other self-proclaimed guardian of proper grammar.  I’m as inclined to joyously split infinitives  as…

Donald Trump has held off-the-record and on-the record meetings with top newspapers in the country in an effort to show that he is a substantive candidate, not just one who mouths empty phrases at riled up crowds out on the campaign trail.  He recently sat down with The Los Angeles Star for a similar interview,…

The best thing Ted Cruz has going for him in the presidential campaign is that Donald Trump personally threatened to “spill the beans”  about Cruz’s wife and then doubled down by posting an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz juxtaposed with a glamour shot of Melania Trump.  (This from a guy who has been photographed looking…

 Trump L’oeil – Political pundits and operatives for other campaigns have wondered why the normal rules of political gravity have not applied to the Presidential campaign of Donald Trump.  He moves from one apparently crippling controversy to another, without seemingly losing any of his support.  He offers colorful criticism of other candidates but only general…

Nearly 62 years ago, 8-year-old Donnie Trump was caught nabbing cookies from the cookie jar by his mother: “Donnie, did you take any cookies from the cookie jar?” “It nevah happened — we don’t even have a cookie jar!” “Donnie, the cookie jar is right over there, on the counter.  I can see it from…
