It is not a coincidence that Donald Trump has attracted white supremacists.

Editorials are editorials. They a supposed to have an opinion, even a very strong one.

The total wall is between editorial and newsroom. And unbreachable barrier. For good reason. It doesn't mean the two sides don't talk.

I think we too often go soft in trying to spare people the agony of confronting reality.

Nationalism and patriotism are two sides of the same coin, and the most nationalistic / patriotic country in the last 300 years was Germany during the Third Reich.

My neighborhood is fairly white, yet the local middle school is all black. It is bad. It is very bad.

The horrifying thing is that nearly half of America seems in synch with xenophobia and race-baiting.

I think Trump wants to be dictator. I don't think the courts will allow him to be, and I think that after months of revolting sycophancy, neither will Congress. He will sink to such a popularity trough that even those spineless, craven gophers will cave.

Peggy Noonan is not as good a columnist as my colleague Kathleen Parker, in my opinion, but they share something related to their Pulitzers. Kathleen won in in 2010. They won it for a similar reason.

I was possessing heroin in fairly large quantities in New York City during the years of the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws. Had I been busted, I would have faced mandatory life in prison. I don't think many white kids walked, either. I knew one who got 15 years for pot.

You should support Israel not because it is Jewish but because it is a sane, secular democracy. You want Lebanon to be at peace. You don't care much about Kuwait.

America is an incredibly polarized country politically. I think ANY Republican would start out with 42 percent of the vote.

Hillary Clinton was a cute, smart chick in the 1960s.

Most men I know adore women, and I am including gay men. I think studies on jury selection show that the biggest critics of women - people less likely to trust their character or judgment - are women.

Johnny Hart became much less funny after he found sobriety, and religion, around the same time.

Every single fat comic uses his weight as a punchline. There is something sad about that.

Donald Trump is showing the intellectual rigor, and emotional maturity, of a second grader. That's hardly being age-ist. This is a man who, when accused by Hillary Clinton of being a Putin puppet, actually responded: No puppet! No puppet! YOU'RE the puppet.

I'll smoke anything. I won't spend a lot of money on cigars, because I consider that too self indulgent. $3, max, except for special occasions. And yes, I do know the difference.

Donald Trump would never belong to a church that required a ten percent hit. He's too smart.
