Climate, They Say | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Anytime the glitterati gather in far-flung, exotic places—like Glasgow—to rub elbows and swap speeches, I know we’re about to hear the war chant of “BOHICA!” Bend over, here it comes again. And here we are again at the COP26 Climate Summit. Barack Obama gushed and preached about how urgent the climate crisis is. “It will not be …

If you’re already fully vaccinated, then the pain isn’t directed at you, but you might feel it anyway.

Opinion Contributor

Joe Biden, as a senator in 2008, was instrumental in getting President George W. Bush’s Recovery Act passed; as Vice President in 2009, Biden was responsible for overseeing that same plan under President Obama. That “stimulus” program was much different from the pandemic direct payments and child care credit program of 2021. In 2009, the rich banks …

“X” Gender Passport Means 2+2=5 | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

2+2=5. Read the paragraph below from the AP, especially the part I italicized. The department did not identify the passport recipient, but Dana Zzyym, an intersex activist from Fort Collins, Colorado, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that they received it.

Biden Can’t Stand By While 16 Americans Are Held Hostage in Haiti | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Haiti has no functional government, at least not one that’s separable from corruption, crime, and gangs. The leader of the 400 Mawozo gang threatened to kill 16 Americans and one Canadian if he doesn’t get $1 million for each life. No. I don’t think so. It’s time to send in the troops and get those hostages. …
