JAN 6th: Will We Ever Know What Trump Did? | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Gossip reporters in the 70s through the 90s sometimes got calls from “John Barron.” It was of course Donald Trump, dishing out on the wonderfulness of Donald Trump, without even the decency to affect a different voice. This ruse has about the same level of sophistication as the small time drug dealer who drops his package …

FREEDOM CONVOY: Seizing Kids a Big Mistake | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

If American rabid libertarians have their Avengers, they’re almost certainly the thousands of big rig drivers who have descended on Ottawa, disrupting Ontario’s commerce with the USA, forcing a Ford plant to close, and overall being an icicle in the rear for the normally chill Canadian government. Trying to remove them by force is a thorny …

It is not 2020. We no longer need to worry about flattening the curve. We no longer need to wipe our groceries down with bleach, or stay huddled in our homes for fear of COVID-19 killing us. I had COVID-19 in October, 2020. I got it around the time then-President Trump got it, except he spread …

DEM CRACKUP: AOC Slams TX Dem, Manchin Backs Republican | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

It’s a weird time to be a Democrat. You won’t see this in the talking points that are dutifully regurgitated by CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the liberal media cabal, but the reason President Joe Biden’s “agenda” has spectacularly failed has nothing to do with Republicans. It’s all on Democrats, and the party is …

It’s War and We’re All Traitors Now | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

In World War II, the British and Canadians executed traitors, while Americans tended to jail them. Notably, William Joyce, the American-born Irishman-turned-Nazi who broadcasted propaganda from Berlin under the name “Lord Haw-Haw,” was captured shortly after the war, tried, and hanged by the British for “being a person owing allegiance to our Lord the King, and while a …

DON’T CAVE, JOE! Censorship is Not “Saving Democracy” | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Husbands and wives are at odds over COVID-19 vaccines. Cheryl Hines, wife of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. tweeted that his remarks at an anti-mandate rally in Washington were “reprehensible and insensitive.” Meanwhile, septuagenarian rockers are abandoning Spotify because Joe Rogan invited some people to his podcast who didn’t toe the acceptable line on vaccines. RFK Jr. compared the …

VEGAS ODDS: Who Will Biden Pick for SCOTUS? | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Vegas odds makers peg the Senate confirming the next SCOTUS nominee before the end of 2022 at 92 percent. The subhead under the top story in today’s Atlanta Journal Constitution noted that Democrats must work fast if they want the Court to not get “more conservative.” I laughed at that one, because it assumes the court getting more …

PUTIN: The Silent Sound of Ukraine Falling | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Let’s be clear: Russia wants Ukraine more than NATO wants it. Also, Russia’s border Ukraine is a hundred miles longer than the Florida’s coastline. Plus, Russia designed the technology and software which runs most of its power infrastructure. Oh, and Russia has about 100,000 troops sitting on the border of east Ukraine. Finally, there’s hundreds of years of …

MANDALORIANS of Delaware and Other Stupid Authoritarian Ideas | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

As a conservative, I believe that our “rights” are not bestowed upon us as a positive reward for being useful members of society. We have them because we are imbued with human dignity by God, who is not subject to a vote or opinion poll. Therefore, government is an exercise in imperfection, since we are not …

Former Vice President Al Gore made $100 million in just twelve years after leaving office, “investing” in green energy companies. Meanwhile, green energy companies were lobbying Obama energy officials and the White House so strongly they wore out trouser legs of people like Jonathan Silver, who headed the DOE’s $38 billion cash bazaar. Imagine Oprah Winfrey: “you get a …

Tennis champion Novak Djokovic has been booted from Australia, and likely will be prevented from entering France and Spain, therefore denied competition in two Grand Slam events, the French Open and Madrid Open. The Serbian Djokovic has become a leper of his own choice, and is being treated as such, to the cheers of his fellow countrymen. The basis …
