Fifty migrants arrived in the haut monde enclave of Martha’s Vinyard, off the coast of Cape Cod last week. They were sent there by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on two chartered planes, paid for by $12 million allocated by the legislature in a bipartisan budget “to facilitate the transport of unauthorized aliens out of Florida.” Mass Gov.

If Congress doesn’t act, the railroad unions could strike as early as Friday morning. This would be really bad, and its widespread effects would be felt immediately, nationwide. Congress and previous presidents have acted before to block railroad unions and other critical industries like coal from striking. The railroads are a strange bird when it comes to U.S. industry. …

INFLATION: Billionaire Economics is Killing Us | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

I might have just stumbled on the most bipartisan thing our political system has going. Both Democrats and Republicans are the party of the billionaires. Except right now, Democrats are doing everything they can do destroy the middle class, force half the country to be totally dependent on the government (read: socialism), and make basic …

GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRY: What is a Christian’s Patriotic Duty? | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Two events have this question at the top of my mind. First, yesterday was the anniversary of 9/11, which in its aftermath witnessed one of the greatest increases in church attendance ever seen in America. It also inaugurated a season of war, where non-Christian “evil-doers” and their enablers were to be purged from the face …

The pitied two dozen members of the Fulton County special grand jury investigating election interference by Donald J.

“Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.” —Winston Churchill, 1898. This has been Donald J. Trump’s mantra, really for his whole life.  Trump is fresh from a victory in obtaining a special master to slow down the DOJ’s case regarding documents seized at Mar-a-Lago. His lawyers picked a judge …

BIDEN: You’re All Threats to Democracy | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

President Biden gave the speech I implored him to give yesterday. Almost. Speaking at the iconic Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Biden made a sweeping denunciation of “MAGA Republicans” and the lunacy of Donald Trump’s beliefs. And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of …

After U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon indicated her “preliminary intent” to appoint a special master to review the evidence seized from Mar-a-Lago by the FBI on August 8th, the government responded in two ways. “It’s too late, baby” was the first shot, saying that the FBI had completed its “taint team” work and the evidence …

DEJA VU: 2024 Is 2016 All Over Again | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

I’m not very good at Deja Vu. Explaining things twenty times to my middle school-age kids very effectively inoculates me to the feeling of “I’ve done this before.” But I definitely have the sense of living through this time before, politically-speaking. It was 2015, and everyone said Donald Trump, who repulsed everyone important in politics, …

KARMA: Moonie Cult Death Came to Shinzo Abe | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Tetsuya Yamagami shot Shinzo Abe with a handmade gun, killing him. It was a planned assassination. New details of the 41-year-old assassin’s motivation are coming out, and much of it points to the Unification Church—what we call the “Moonies.” The AP quoted an “expert in cult studies.” “If he hadn’t allegedly committed the crime, Mr. Yamagami would …
