“LET HER TALK”: Tuesday’s Debate Will Decide the Election | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Bill O’Reilly is correct in focusing his attention on next Tuesday’s debate. The first direct meeting of the two candidates for president will likely decide the election. I don’t like to make predictions like this, but think about it. On tax policy, Harris wants to squeeze corporations and high net worth individuals, yet add $3 …

An Open Letter to “Evangelicals for Harris” | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

Dear “Evangelicals for Harris,” who have become drones, emotionally invested in Kamala’s campaign: I understand that some politicians—ex-Republicans (or soon-to-be-ex) like Adam Kinzinger and Geoff Duncan—really believe that the best path foward for the GOP is to side with Democrats for a cycle or two.

WHO’S WEIRD? The Latest, Lamest Attack From Harris | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

The most enthusiastic voters for Kamala Harris are the reporters reporting on all the enthusiasm surrounding her campaign.

DEMOCRACY IS DEAD: Dems Throw Out Elections for Harris | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

It was inevitable that President Joe Biden would be unceremoniously dumped by his party. He only worked his whole adult life–more than 50 years–for the Democrats. What do you expect them to do with their elder statesman? When it benefitted them, Democrats in Congress, industry, state and local parties covered for Biden’s age and infirmity. …

A GOOD DAY: Hey Joe, Which is a Threat to Democracy?


Opinion Contributor

In September, 2022, President Joe Biden stood at the presidential podium, backdropped by Independence Hall in Philadelphia, lit in dragon fire red, flanked by Marines. In his speech, he declared the Republican Party “dominated, driven, intimidated by Donald Trump,” and “a threat to this country.” On July 13, a 20-year-old gave his life to take …
