Reflections on a painful discovery — At some point, you will have to admit you were wrong. It is the hardest thing on Earth to do. After all of these years of talking about how flat the Earth is — first casually entertaining the idea that it simply ends at the edge, then standing with the…

Once again, it takes a media star to pass legislation — In case you missed the drama in the Senate this week — or across social media — here is a play-by-play. It all relates to burn pits. We heard about burn pits in President Biden’s first official State of the Union in March. They were sandwiched somewhere between his call…

Because of the massive issues with redistricting that we have had in New York State, Part II will be held in August (Tuesday, 8/23) with primaries then for our Congressional and State Senate seats.
